3009. The best laid plans © Bruce Goodman 1 June 2024

Sandra had spent months planning her husband’s murder. It’s not that he had offended her in any way; it was just that she was tired of him. She needed a change in life; a new direction.

It would to all appearances (and investigations) be construed to be suicide. The deed would be carried out in the kitchen. At the exact point that he turned away from the sink (after washing the dishes) she would pull the trigger. She would place the revolver in his dead hand and cover it with soapy sink water. The moment came. He turned. Sandra pulled the trigger. He had turned too far. He was shot in the back. Contact Author Back to Index Next Story Previous Story
