It Would Have Been Justifiable Homicide, an Absolutely True Story

[Angela]

Sandra fell in love with a tall sexy man.  He praised her beauty and was thrilled by her passion.  Wanting them to share a life together, he had plans drawn up for a house.  They went to the homesite and she chose the orientation of the building on the property, to make the best views from the windows and the most pleasing light from the sun.  He took her to Best Buy and let her pick out the appliances.  Six days after she decided on the refrigerator, he moved in with another woman.

She's lucky she didn't marry him. I've met a few like him... dumber than a bag of rocks.

What a great opening. I love it. It sets the hook.  I really want to know what happened to her after that. In a way it's a terrific set up for both tragedy or comedy. It almost stands alone as a one liner. Forgive me I think like a vaudeville act, which I am so I think in these terms. Anyway...another term used in variety theater....does it work? This does...big time.  Tight writing with a terrific punch..."Six days after she decided on the refrigerator, he moved in with another woman."

Gita and Robert - It is never too late for revenge.  (Just kidding.  Sandra says it's not worth the effort.  She did, however seriously explore the possibilities.)

Thanks, too, for using the term pathological, Gita, because it truly applies.  Sandra considers herself to be very very lucky.  It could have been so much worse.  Can you imagine turning your life over to someone so cruel?  Unbelievable.

Fridge. Didn't know the terminology could also apply to shotguns

[Gita]

I couldn't tell if Joey was referring here to a shotgun or a fridge!

[Joey Delgado]

Well what kind of dumb broad picks and over/under. It's all about the side by side.

[Gita]

I am with Crisman. Yes she should have. And she should have called me and Crisman to fly in to do the job while she was off with family at a party in another state.

The pathology in this story is off the charts. Which charts, you may ask? The charts that Crisman and I keep when deciding whom to whack.

Well told.

It took her a year, T, but she does actually laugh about it now, although she is much much thinner.  Shock and depression will do that to a person.

Indeed, additional things about his character were later discovered and he is loathed by many.

I love her spirit.  She says she's a better person for the experience, and she looks great.

[Robert Crisman]

Well, yes, she should have.

Not a Berings man, I see.  He probably had an STD too.  And a deadly intestinal parasite.  And insurmountable debt he kept well hidden.  And some nasty fetish he will spring on the unsuspecting new woman.  Sandra is lucky to have been dumped.  Fun story.
