Appearances

“Things aren’t always what they seem, Harry.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It means you shouldn’t jump to conclusions.”

“I’m not jumping to any damn conclusions, June. You’re standing over your former lover’s dead body with a gun in your hand. What am I supposed to think?”

“That maybe you did it.”

Harry scratched his head. “You’re not making sense.”

“You hated Fred. You never forgave us. So you killed him.”

His jaw dropped. “Wait…”

“It’s your gun, Harry. You had motive.”

“But why?”

“You should know. You told me Fred wasn’t good enough for me. But neither are you.”

Left Behind

“What now, Caveman?”

Henry rolled his eyes. “Don’t start, Marge. I’m not paying $100 a month just so we can text our friends when we’re bored. “

“If we had cell phones, we could call for a tow truck. You got fifty cents on you, Mr. Cheapskate?”

“I’m not paying that much for a phone call, Marge.”

“It’s expensive because no one uses pay phones anymore. They have to charge exorbitant rates. They’re obsolete, like you.”

Henry smiled. “You wanted to join a gym.  Looks like we’re going to get some much needed exercise the old fashioned way. Start walking.”
