CAN I HAVE A DRINK, SIR
Every one of these short, stories, in this collection, from the book, LOVE KILLS, have a kick-you-in-the-ass, ending. This one, is no exception, maybe the most shocking of them all, but, I am not sure, this is the title, because, I passed the book, onto, Jethro Ivory, World All-Around Rodeo Champ, back a few years, in the Pov. nursing, a broken back, he got, while, breaking a horse, up in Arlee, taking all his savings, after, having to camp out in a motel, for months, $13,000! There was a line up, for this book! Yesterday, someone stole it off his bunk, and he was pissed! Anyway, probably the feds, can't buy their own, for Shelley and the malarkey shingles, they, call me, so they have to have the original, I touched, so nobody, can take fingerprints, right? This story, is kick ass cool. Girls learn history, and they make it too, so did the crowd, who witnessed, what was going on.
So, in the story, and I can't do it justice, great, writing, this man and a little girl, are at a concession stand, in a park, or an amusement park. The little girl, is holding the man's hand, and she says: "Mr. will you buy me a drink or a soda?" He, tries to silence her, but with, other people around, she gets, louder . . . Mr. will you buy me a soda? Now the girl, looks, 12 years old, but she is really, 14 years old, we are told. There are several sailors, standing, near, looking on, they, notice, this phenomena of a much older man, who, doesn't appear to be her father, or even someone she knows. The man, starts to see the reaction, and eyes of several people, about, 41 of them, in line for this or that, start to turn there stares on him, and this very young girl. The man, pulls her away, trying not to notice them leaving, and leaving without the drink, with the man picking up speed, as he starts to drag her off, to the park. One of the young sailor speaks up, and says, that man, is obviously, not her father!
The young sailor, turns, and says, I don't know about, you guys, but, I am going after, this man, he should't be with that young girl! He turns and, the very, keen, responsible crowd, and I was thinking of all the people, who, good at heart, refuse to get involved, never want to be a witness, turn a blind eye, to this shit, and walk away, in most instances, and I think, this must be an older, story, but then, i remember, a woman, being, beaten, sexually, assaulted and raped, right in front of an apartment building, killed with, about the same amount of people, watching and doing nothing to help her! The man and the girl, start to run, him, dragging her little legs, much faster, than she is able to keep up, until, the sailor catches, the man, gets the little girl away, by, smashing the man, right in the face, taking him to the ground, and beating the living shit out of him, with the other, 40 people following, but not getting there, until the sailor has the man, begging for his life and setting the little girl free! They all cheered the sailor's actions to free the girl.
HERE IS THE KICKER TO THE STORY!
After, the story, and the beating, are complete, the writer, takes us, back to the first part of the story, and I hope, I don't get this mixed up with some of the other stories or old true crime stories . . . there are about, 20 or so, short stories in the book, that is like, watching, that many true crime episodes, all in a few pages, or more! But, the skilled writer, goes back to the start of the little girl, and the man's, introduction. The man is going to the restroom, as I recall, and there is this young girl, standing, as if waiting for, her mother, or a friend, but, the man, soon, notices, that no one is coming for the little girl, and she is there, fending for herself. He decides, like all kidnappers, abusers, losers, and sexual predators, to take full advantage of this young girl. She asks him, if he will buy her some candy? What will you do for the candy? Anything. Like what? We can, walk over in the park, and we can play. What do you mean by play? Well, we can do anything you want. That man, takes her up on the offer to buy her candy.
When the approach the concession stand, she changes her mind and asks for a soda or drink, which for some odd reason, he seems to object to. So she gets, louder and louder, feeling, now, protected, by the other adults, who, can clearly see, that this is a strange and odd, relationship! At first, as I recall, the girl, also, wants some food. People start looking, at, each other and telling the man, to get her some food! His refusal, is what, keys them, into the fact, that this man, is after, something, more criminal, and he is not going to spend more than he has to to get what he wants from the little girl. His cheap ass response to her needs, appears to be the thing that causes the reaction and response by the young sailor! I think, it sounded, like this is something, the girl did often, and on purpose, maybe from being pimped out by her, mother or father, to pay, or get old, lecherous men, off the streets, or to get what they DESERVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! The story was great! LOL. Smart little girl, older than, she looked! I thought, how many men, did she teach a lesson? I HOPE MANY!
ONE MORE SHORT STORY, FOR THOSE OF YOU, WHO LIKE ME, LOVE, STREET CHIN, TRUE CRIME STORIES . . . DON'T KNOW IF THESE ARE TRUE OR NOT, BUT, THEY MAKE THEIR POINTS, AND WE SHOULD BE BETTER PEOPLE FOR READING THEM--MOST CRIME STORIES HAVE SOME ELEMENTS OF TRUTH IN THEM! I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF THIS ONE, BUT IT WAS THE LAST ONE OR SECOND TO THE LAST ONE IN THE BOOK AND IT JUST STRUCK ME AS HILARIOUS IN ITS DELICIOUS FLAVOR, THE WRITER, USED TO COMBINE, FUN AND TRAGIC, BUT DESERVING! WITH A REVENGE ELEMENT IN IT! NOTHING SWEETER.
This story, starts out, as a recall, with a very homely, girl, but from a very wealthy family, or father, having a crush on some dudes, who is friends with her brother. Oh, I remember the title: My Heart Bleeds For You! or something to that effect. But, in the story, this chick, makes a strange Valentine, with an even odder, tag line. This somehow, ends up with a rather, nice young man, going on a date with the chick he doesn't really like, nor is attracted to, and during the date, things get even worse, from her, farting, extremely loud in the movie, to her eating like a pig, hogging all the popcorn, and feeling no sense of overstepping her half or portion of the popcorn. Everyone, has one date, like this in their lives! LOL. The brother, is, very unlike the sister, is a handsome, charmer, who, through his antics, gets, disinherited from his father's will and fortune, now, going all to his, very homely and strange sister.
The brother, approaches, his friend, having broken, the ice with his sister, who has never had a date in her life, and unlikely to get another, chance, at even a date, and proposes, that, this friend, continue to date his sister, and marry her, and after the marriage, and when, dear old dad, dies, the two of them, will kill her, and take all the money to be split between the two men. At first, the friend, feels sorry for the sister and refuses to do this, thinking the dude is completely off his rocker. But as the pressure is maintained and several million dollars in inheritance, is dangled in the guy's face, he decides he will in fact, marry her, assuming from what the friend says, is just a short time, until dad is dead, and the murder can take place, taking him out of the marriage and the misery, making him, a rich man for the rest of his life, so he agrees, but not to the 50%, but to 65%. The brother thinks his friend is a greedy bastard, but he does get stuck with his ugly sister, and her ways, so, a deal is struck . . . a large wedding follows.
Sex is basically, avoided, but boogiesnuggie, is loved, to death. This woman, doesn't cook, doesn't clean, nor does he, old school, so the place is a pigsty, with roaches, running all over the place, but he works, at a shoe store, and is gone, and just decides to suck up and deal with it. Finally, one day, he, actually, is looking forward to going home and watching the Newlywed Game, Jeopardy, and all their favorite, game shows, and he realizes, that he is getting sucked in to her, lazy ass lifestyle too much and actually, digging on, discussing and watching all their favorite TV shows together! LOL. He contacts the brother, and says, he has to kill the wife NOW, he can't take any more and he is turning into, her! The brother, assures, the friend, that he is jumping the gun, and he is, going to be a suspect, because, they haven't been married that long, and they will of course, suspect him. Friend decides, he is not going to listen to the brother, because he is not the one, dealing with the sister!
To make a short story, shorter, he, makes a plan, to take her, on a date, but, somehow, get her into traffic and make it so she gets run over by oncoming cars, and is killed. She simply steps aside and he is hit, broadside, and is injured, getting several broken ribs, and has to be nursed back to health, by his very loving and caring, boogiesnuggy! LOL. One day, he comes home, and she is crying, and he says, what is wrong? It's dad . . . the guy is thinking, finally, the old coot has kicked the bucket! LOL. Soon she stops crying and says, the doctor, said, that dad is getting so healthy, after joining a fitness gym, that he might live to a hundred years old! LOL. The man is furious, he demands to meet the brother in the theater, where they meet so nobody sees them or connects the two men, and says, he can't wait and he is just going to kill his wife, now! The brother warns him against that, but the man is bound and determined to kill his wife, and he is not waiting one more second!
He talks wifey pooh, into leaving the house for one night, giving up their favorite shows, and go up to make-out point, and smooch, a little and she is excited at the possibility of getting a little happy and having some fun, beyond just a kiss. His plan is to, have her get out of the car, and get into the back seat to give them more room, and when she is out, back the car, into her, sending her, over the guardrail, down the mountain to her death! Again, she, senses, the pending danger or just steps aside and the car, breaks through the guardrail, and he and the car, go crashing to the bottom of the canyon! LOL. This time he is in traction, with broken ribs, and broken, legs, and arms . . . of course his faithful, and dutiful wife is with him everyday at the hospital and can't wait to get him home to take care of her sugarplum! The house is a disaster, and she simply wipes all the Twinkie wrappers, and beer bottles off the couch and onto the floor, so he can convalesce in comfort on the couch.
THE DUDE, RECOVERS IN TIME, AND FOR THE FINAL TIME, DEMANDS A MEETING WITH THE BROTHER, TO PLAN FOR HER MURDER, ONCE AND FOR ALL . . . THE BROTHER, SAYS HE CAN'T HELP, THAT, DAD IS GETTING MORE AND MORE SPRY, AND IS NOT LIKELY TO DIE SOON, BUT BUCK UP OLD BOY, BE OF GOOD CHEER, THIS WILL HAPPEN, SOON ENOUGH . . . NOT FOR THE HUSBAND! AFTER HIS FUCKING FRIEND, QUOTES SOME, FRENCH, LINE TO HIM, THAT IS SOMETHING LIKE . . . WHAT WILL BE WILL BE . . . THE BROTHER-IN-LAW, ACTS LIKE HE IS LEAVING THE THEATER, COMES BEHIND THE BRO, AND STRANGLES HIM WITH HIS NECKTIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAVE A STREET CHIN, KICK ASS, FUN WEEK!
