2661. An accidental death © Bruce Goodman 11 March 2023

Errol explained to the policeman that the shooting of his wife had been an accident. He had simply taken his handgun to clean, and before he could even check to ensure it was bullet-less he accidentally pulled the trigger. The bullet hit his wife who slumped dead over the dining table. She had been placing a freshly washed table cloth. The body was still slumped there in a pool of blood. Errol had immediately phoned for the police. The local policeman arrived. Errol was still holding the handgun, he was so shocked. Even though he knew that Errol wasn’t dangerous, the policeman called for backup. That was when Errol accidentally shot the policeman. He slumped over Errol’s wife’s corpse. That’ll teach them both from having an affair. Contact Author Back to Index Next Story Previous Story
