One Very Short Story

Bad in Bed


Listen Later

The lights never stop buzzing in Nathan’s world — the office, the police station, the house he built with his bare hands. When his wife disappears, the town rallies behind him. When she’s found, they laugh. Overnight, he becomes the joke no man survives. A pillar turned punchline.In a place where gossip spreads faster than grace, Nathan drives through the rain trying to outpace the sound of strangers laughing about his marriage, about his manhood. Across town, Eva packs her suitcase, trying to run from the wreckage she started and the mirror that won’t stop showing her what she’s done. 

“Bad in Bed” is a quiet detonation — a story about pride, shame, and the moment a man realizes the worst thing in his life isn’t losing love. It’s being seen without it.
