She's Back

Have you heard? The bitch is back...banging on his gate like a lunatic. Spitting all kinds of threats. That suits him I guess. It was largely his fault. He could have just avoided her in the first place.

But he did not so that is something he is living with now. Why do you judge him woman when you have secrets up in your sleeves as well? We do not have the privilege to lay judgment. Let us just hope that the wife will not wake despite the racket outside their house.

Oh, I am sure she is awake every time that nutcase comes howling. She just pretends to sleep and prays that the authorities will drag the stupid woman away, secured in a straight jacket, into an asylum.

Does he answer the calls?

He did in the past, to ward her off but that proved to be useless as the woman is even peskier than a fly. He tried all sorts of excuses too, even the silliest ones. You should have been there. It got hysterical at one point.

What now?

He plays deaf, like his wife. He pretends to sleep and prays that the authorities will drag the stupid woman away, secured in a straight jacket, into an asylum.

And what of the neighbors?

Oh they suffer as well but it's not so bad for them. At least they have something to talk about in the morning, makes their lives less boring.

That's ridiculous.

Yes, it is ridiculous. As ridiculous as the affair that was supposed to fly to Paris but never quite got there.

Did he ever love her?

Who, the wife?

No, the other woman.

Ah. No. It was just a momentary dose of insanity.
