My Duplicated Husband

The Story

Esther survives five years of brutal abuse at the hands of her husband, Carl. He cheats on her, beats her, and his actions lead to the death of their infant daughter. During their fifth wedding anniversary, a violent argument ends when Carl dies in a freak accident. Panicked, Esther buries his body in the backyard and sleeps. The next morning, Carl stands before her, alive and well. He acts exactly like the sweet, loving man she married. His gentle demeanor contrasts sharply with the brutal husband she just buried. Terror and confusion grip her. She wonders if Carl miraculously returned from the dead or if someone else now wears his face.
