#34: New Information Coming to Light

We don’t know this family’s history, and it sounds like we’re missing crucial information to be able to judge this story. We can only assume our storyteller’s father was a city worker, and he may have died in a work-related accident. Either way, it must have been heartbreaking for the entire family.

After their mother’s passing, our storyteller learned that the city had paid their mother a little over 2,000$ for the wrongful death of his father back in the 1970s. It doesn’t sound like a lot of money, but then again, no sum probably would’ve been enough to compensate the family for their tragic loss.
