Every card was unexpected. This one had a white-tail buck on the front. Jack had hated white-tailed deer ever since one had totaled his car when he was sixteen. A newspaper clipping fluttered out. It was a picture of Carter with that man, an announcement.
Or an obituary.
The message was short:
'Not that you needed a reminder. I could arrange an accident.'
The colonel picked up the picture and slid it back into the card and the card into the envelope. He never paused. He used the paper as kindling for his bonfire in the backyard.
The fire burned.
