The Third of the Month
by Hélène Vandermeer
For eleven years someone has paid her four hundred euros. She has never touched a cent of it.
On the third of every month, between ten past six and a quarter past seven, four hundred euros arrive in Judith Ancelin's account. No name, no message, never late. For eleven years she has moved them to a savings account she does not open: 53,600 euros sleeping there. One third of December, the transfer is 217.43 euros. And there is never another one.
