I don't do funerals.

All right, basically I went right over there to ask for a lawn mower. It the back of my mind, I knew he knew that I had a lawn mower it pretty much came with the butler. So I thought about something else I could ask for of his when in the corner of my eye I saw the blinds of window on the top floor open. They could have been curtains, not sure. Anyway, before I knew it, I was at his door and knocked three times. People had just gone in, so I figured it wouldnt be too long before the door opened.
It must have been three minutes before the door opened and he was standing right in front of me with an artificial smile on his face it could have been real, who am I to judge?
I had ADD for like two seconds, I dont borrow things from people ever. Im like very germ conscious plus I hate humans. Loathe the lot.
Anyway, the words came out Hey neighbor.
He just looked at me, analyzed me.
Can I borrow your wee whacker?
Now I know everything about everyone within a five block radius of this mans driveway, him included his response wasnt what I expected.
Nope.
For the first time in my life I felt like I was actually wrong I was actually breathless.
No ? Was all I could say. Then he just stared at me for a good long awkward time and said, Oh! [My first name], Im sorry, sure!
It was like déjà vu hed gone back to his old self and let the door open wide. In his living room sat the guys who had come in before. Except it seemed as though one was missing from the group. Not sure.
What I am sure about is none of them wore black.
Very Tommy Hilfiger and H&M with a pinch of Abercrombie.
He invited me in, which seemed too friendly even for him.
Why didnt he just take me out back to the garage?
It felt like he thought I had a right to see his book club. He even introduced me to them all and told me what they did for a living. Mainly retail and freshman college students. They asked about me and I was pretty detailed with my answers of course, I was still vague.
They all sat in a circle on the floor and immediately I thought about the last time I had been here. They sat on a carpet which was about 20 feet in length and width, I recall him saying it was pretty expensive. He got it for his wife and they placed it in the room where they had their first kiss in the house, the den.
This was not the den and it looked ugly here.
Another ugly thing I caught a glimpse of was the cover of the book they were reading for their club. So I asked what it was and a pretty built guy replied with The Perfect Husband by Lisa something. He said something. He had a lot of piercing none seemed professional.
The book looked interesting though so yeah.
Basically, my time there turned into symbolism and tea. Not of the book they were reading however, just famous English lit. They seemed reluctant to answer any questions I had on the book. My neighbor seemed nervous every time I said the word husband or wife.
Speaking of which, I asked him where his wife was and he said she was away taking care of her sick grandmother in Paris.
Immediately he switched gears to the new James Bond movies coming out and how he couldnt wait for it to come out.
This was a straight out lie. As I recall, he hates James Bond movies. The Batman will vouch for me on this one, he was over my house once and got into a heated debate Bats loves Bond.
Anyway, everything just seemed so forced .especially his wifes whereabouts.
She invited me to her grandmothers funeral in 2000.

I'm not gonna make a joke of this but this is what it seems like to me.The Spawn said:Back again...after I got my glasses I had to take them apart, they're not really glasses...

see how he reacts.
people always get casseroles when a loved one dies.
and in all honestly, who paints their house black!?!
doesn't he know it just makes a space look smaller!?
that's a lie.bluejake01 said:That is a myth...if done right Black can open a room up.
The title of this mystery is ironic. Jim Beckett is not a perfect husband or even an acceptable human being. He is a serial killer, who has vowed a vendetta against his wife, Tess.
The Spawn said:She does indeed have two grandmothers:
Fathers side lives in NY
Mothers side lives in Paris
I got invited to the funeral of the mothers side in 2000
And regardless, if you're in your 30's, the chances of having grandparents are slim.
