My wife went to the bank every Thursday for 40 years. When she died, I found out why - I was frozen.

For forty years my wife Lorraine told me she was going to the bank every single Thursday to secure our future. She said she was building a nest egg for us so we could retire in Florida and watch the sunsets. I believed her. I loved her. I broke my back laying concrete and breathing in drywall dust for twelve hours a day to provide for her. But two days after she died I walked into that same bank and found out the truth. She was not depositing money. She was erasing me. My name is Victor Sullivan. I am seventy two years old. And according to the state of Illinois and the woman I slept next to for four decades I have been dead since two thousand and eight.
