I Thought You Should Know

by Eric S. Hubbard

Sylvie LaFlair, an up-and-coming researcher at a prestigious university, has a loving husband named Nico and an adoring four-year-old daughter. Students want her to mentor them and colleagues hope to latch onto her rising star. On her way to a meeting regarding the biggest presentation of her career, which she hopes will lead to a grant award, prestige and notoriety, she notices the raised arm of their kitschy mailbox in the shape of a monkey. Inside, she discovers a handwritten note addressed to her. It Your husband is cheating on you. I thought you should know.

Not wanting to confront Nico in front of her daughter, Sylvie decides to wait until after her presentation and to search for proof of his infidelity. As she juggles the biggest moment of her career and this shocking discovery, she begins to see guilt in every person she knows. As panic sets in, her prior mental health issues begin to rear their ugly heads, and she begins to suspect that the person who wrote the note may be someone even herself.

I Thought You Should Know examines the thin line between sanity and madness, delving into our emotional wellbeing when our trust in our loved ones — and even in our own selfhood — vanishes.
