My Wife Worse Confession Ever
Would carrying out my pathetic "tall man" joke make me a worse husband? Perhaps. See, Mina was naive from the start. Incredibly so. Honestly, that was one of my favourite things about her.
She said, "What's this?" while we were cleaning up leftover popcorn at a small theatre where we had met on a part-time basis.
A tool belt was in her right hand. Most likely, the projector had broken down and a repairman had forgotten his tools.
I jokingly added, "Did you know that during the construction of this place, a construction worker lost his life?"
She would not step foot inside Screen 6 again after that. You see, didn't want to take a chance on running across a ghost. I asked Mina if she wanted to get coffee someday since I thought it was cute, and she said yes. A few weeks later, my girlfriend ghosted me.
I didn’t tell her about the urban legend straight away; instead, I left some "reading material" strewn about. When she offered to go camping somewhere else all the while horribly trying to hide her anxiety. I realised it was time to go on.
I put up our tent amongst a strewn assortment of skeleton trees. Yes, Mina pleaded with me to choose a more suitable (less frightening) location, but simultaneously, the soles of her feet were after a twenty-mile walk, uncooked slabs of steak, so she gave in.
We had a pot of stewed beef and then retired for the evening. I waited, knowing that the first loud noise would startle her.
She suddenly sprung upright in her sleeping bag. "That was what the FUCK was?"
The wind howling through the trees was heard by us.
I acted as though I had a dry tightness in my throat. "That's the tall man,"
With tears in her eyes, she put her arms around me. Put an end to it. Please.
I added, "The legends say the only way is to confess our sins," in a shrill, scared voice. What wrongdoings have we committed?
She just laid there, trembling, unable to talk.
Rolling my eyes in private, but publicly the act, I will go first, I said. I salted the lawn of the previous property I leased since the landlord refused to give my money back. Additionally, I unintentionally took a Mars Bar last month and neglected to return it for payment.
She inhaled deeply and shivered many times. "I murdered your girlfriend in college. the person you were originally dating when we met. I cut her throat, placed pebbles in her bag and disposed of her body in the RedStock River.
Tree branches scraped together coarsely as I lay there, stunned. Mina shrieked and blurted out, "And I also killed that intern at your place of employment." The sly one. I dismembered her and disposed of the parts in a landfill.
The wind died down outside, and the woodland resumed its slumber.
After ten seconds of dead silence, Mina let out a sigh of relief, and then pulled me in close…
