Black Widow versus Brown Widow

We found a number of horrifying brown widows on the pack porch this past weekend. Yes, brown widows, sisters to the black widow. My skin still crawls while thinking about it. Luckily, they aren’t quite as dangerous as black widows, but they still inspired this brown widow versus black widow creepy writing prompt!

Women who kill their husbands earn the moniker “black widow.” What would earn a woman the title of “brown widow” instead? Write a story about such a person as if they were the first to earn the nickname.
