AN EXCERPT FROM As
my anger built I made up horrible fantasies.
I would imagine things like a truck hitting Casper and he would die. I would imagine a
goat stampede and he was maimed. My
fantasies were terrible and I felt even guiltier when I snapped out of them.
I prayed daily to God to forgive me my terrible thoughts about my
husband, and please not to punish me for them.
I checked our insurance policy, just in case I needed it.
It was a good policy; I would get $500,000.00 dollars.
It couldn’t be a suicide. I
didn’t think I had a problem with that. So
I secretly dreamed Casper
would die and I could be set the rest of my life without that asshole around.
An accident or maybe a medical problem would be nice.
His diet was terrible. He ate
greasy hamburgers every day and gulped down about 5 Dr. Peppers a day.
I thought maybe I could hold out until he was 68 and he might croak of a
heart attack. After five years of
hoping, which was in those in between years, eight and twelve, is when I came to
the realization that he wasn’t going anywhere. The good die young, so I knew he would be around for a long time.
I had to make some plans. CLICK HERE TO RETURN TO THE MAIN PAGE To contact Marcia via e-mail: perpetualstimulus@yahoo.com
