Till Death Do Us Part?

Dear John,
                I know I said I couldn’t live without you. I know I was the one to find the voudoun priestess. But really, I think it was the shock and grief talking. Honestly, I couldn’t stand picking up your dirty underwear and wet towels. How did I possibly think I could handle the bits of body parts that you leave all over the place? I’d happily deal with the smell of those nasty cigars over the rotten, reeking stench that permeates the house now. I actually miss slaving over the deplorably greasy food you insisted on eating. I can’t cook for you anymore. It’s not even cooking! I’m sure the neighbors have begun to realize their juvenile delinquents didn’t all just run away. We haven't had a decent conversation since you lost your tongue. And our sex life...
You’re not the man  I married.
It’s over.
I'm sorry.
Sincerely,
Mary

  5. As a John who has left wet towels on the floor and hopes to one day roam the earth as an undead scoundrel, I understand and support your decision. Please try to be out of the house before supper. I eat out of grief.

  9. Great bit of Halloween fun. Well done, there was a documentary on UK telly last night about Zombies and if it was possible. What was perhaps the scariest part was about LA, I didn't realise that they had to pump thier water over the mountains and if that goes down 12 million are pretty scuppered.

  10. I'm glad everyone's enjoying it!

    @Gareth - LA has an interesting situation going. I hadn't realized all their water came from over the mountains. Scary.
