The Unread Message

De: Liam Carter

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

A single text message. A husband's spiraling doubt. One impulsive reply that threatens to shatter a perfect marriage.

Mark’s life is built on the comforting rhythms of his marriage to Sarah. The sound of her cooking dinner, the smell of her perfume, the quiet certainty of their love—it’s his entire world. Until one evening, a two-word text flashes on her phone from a man named Alex: "Miss you."

Consumed by a sudden, chilling suspicion, Mark does the unthinkable. He picks up her phone and types a reply, inviting the man into their home while Sarah is just feet away, oblivious.

What follows is a tense half-hour of agonizing wait, where every sound from the kitchen feels like a lie and every passing minute fuels his darkest fears. As Mark sits in the trap he set for his wife, he is forced to confront the unsettling questions: How well does he really know the woman he married? And is he prepared for the truth he so desperately sought?

The Unread Message is a gripping and emotionally resonant short story about the fragile nature of trust, the poison of insecurity, and the moment a single decision forces a couple to look at their relationship in a terrifying new light. Perfect for fans of domestic suspense and poignant relationship dramas.
