The alarm went off right after six a.m. Donald opened his eyes, then rose, and grabbed his robe. The coffee pot was on the counter, waiting to perform its morning, and sometimes nightly favor for him. Yessenia was already at the table eating oatmeal, washing it down with brandy. Donald ignored her as he added sugar, milk, and a shot of vodka to his coffee. Yessenia gazed at the back of his head, wishing it would just burst into flames. She had not forgotten the phone call she received from Susana, the new bartender for Maven’s on West Second Street. Susana told Yessenia about how she and Donald made a connection, and that she was sorry if it caused any problems within their marriage. As far as Donald was concerned, there were no problems until Yessenia lost her sex drive. Donald wasn’t dead yet, so he gave in to temptation and justified his actions through the abstinence of his wife for nine years. Even as he stirred his coffee, Donald didn’t feel any pangs of guilt, no remorse of his infidelity. Yessenia stood after downing the last of her brandy, walking towards Donald. Yessenia stopped when Donald faced her. The magnum appeared; drawing blood, then returning to the robe pocket it laid in all night.
From Yessenia lips to the back of his “Always lookin’ for somebody to suck my……HEAD!
Revenge is a dish best served cold and hollow-pointed! The minute he saw her swiggin’ brandy at dawn’s early light..he should have bolted! Yay!
Haha, exactly! Never trust anyone who drinks before noon
Yessenia – now that is a name I have never even heard before but yet, still feel it’s a nice name.. Was she Russian?
Since women are crazy, Donald shouldn’t have expected anything less!
Yessenia is a name that seems to be popular in the Hispanic community; I have no clue what the actual origin of the name is, though I agree it does sound Russian.
…and men aren’t crazy? Ever heard of a guy named Charlie Sheen?
Charlie Sheen is a new species & does not, I repeat Does NOT speak for the Men in this country
I will not accept your response as a reasonable rebuttal sir.
ok, well that’s fair.
Yeah, but 9 years? That seems a little excessive doesn’t it? The bullet to the head was probably sweet relief from some serious sexual frustration. The question looms in the air, how did Susana know to contact Yessinia? Were they friends? Did the husband give Susana the contact information? It also makes me wonder, how old are the characters in the story? How long had they been married? Did they have kids? What was the motive behind the abstinence? If the participants were 30ish, then I say the bullet was sweet relief from some serious sexual frustration, but if they were 90 it puts a new spin on the story. Maybe she was just tired of looking at his face, and the single shot to the head was really revenge for years of leaving his socks next to the clothes hamper instead of in the clothes hamper. I can see where too much background on the characters would not have left the ending as a shock. Good short read!
I want to know which toothpaste this couple uses. Vodka toothpaste…does it exist?
clearly they’re both nuts if they’re drinking booze that early in the morning .
