Still Small Voice
When a widow is forced to relive the last months of her broken marriage a year after her husband succumbed to Covid-19, a voice from the other side of the grave helps her find forgiveness.
This story was written as part of an initiative to spread stories of hope in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. This micro-budget magic realism drama explores the themes of hope, love, forgiveness and moving on. A year after her late husband succumbed to Covid-19, a despairing widow is forced to listen to the voice notes she exchanged with him, and relives their last few months together when their marriage had completely fallen apart and they had both given up on their relationship. But an unexpected voice note that could only have been sent from beyond the grave, snatches her back from the brink of despair and reassures her that not even death can destroy true love.
