After Husband Gave Our House to Brother's Widow, I Raged

The day the plant handed out company housing, everyone assumed my husband and I would finally move out of that leaky old walk-up tenement. But when the list went up, the name on the new apartment was his dead buddy's widow. Chester said Darlene had it hard, raising a kid on her own, and it wouldn't hurt for us to wait a few more years. I reminded him I was seven months pregnant.
