The story below is the result of the misuse of a writing exercise. It is a work of fiction. Pictures are from The Library of Congress.
The body lay festering beneath the wrinkled bed sheet. Aldo killed Gnarlene in a fit of anger, but did not count on disposing of the body. The killers of TV never worried about such details, so Aldo did not think it important. The blood stains clashed with the decor of the room, he realized as the mop gently glided over the floor. The next time he does this, more advance planning will make the cleanup easier.
The perfume bottle on the vanity was the final straw, that led to the murder. Gnarlene knew good and well that the perfume bottle looked like the mouthwash bottle, and that Aldo sometimes brushed his teeth before he put his glasses on. When he gargled “Frenchwhore”, it burned his throat, and revenge was imminent.
Before he ran away, Aldo was careful to hide the murder weapon. The lamp had never matched the rest of the living room furniture, and the shade had a picture of the Three Stooges. Aldo was appalled, but Gnarlene had gotten a good deal on that lamp, and was proud of it. The base was a recycled cocola bottle, the thick deposit kind. When Aldo smashed Gnarlene over the head with it, the game was over.
On the first day of spring, the letter of testamentary came back from the county. Aldo made sure the will was updated at every turn, and made sure that Gnarlene left all her money to him. The only reason he married her was the family fortune. Gnarlene’s father, Protrudemous, made a fortune during the last war. He sold entry visa’s to Afghans who wanted to come to America, only to have them labeled as terrorists and held in prison until they died.
Eating lunch on Monday after the last insurance policy had paid off, Aldo started to choke. The snake charmer at the circus was in the next booth at McDonald’s, but did not lift a finger to help him. He had been Gnarlene’s secret lover, and was upset that Aldo chose murder over divorce.
A flash of lightning signaled the next phase of this unseemly tale. The withered toy rocking horse blew up in the next booth at McDonald’s, killing both Aldo and the snake charmer instantly. When the stray cat came, looking for the snake charmer to feed him, the cat was disappointed and hungry.
