Ruth Cockle looked at the silver knife in her hands and felt cross.
She walked over to the window and reflected on her rural surroundings. She had always loved sleepy Sidney with its jealous, jittery jungle. It was a place that encouraged her tendency to feel cross.
Then she saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of May Parker. May was a vile queen with moist spots and ginger spots.
Ruth gulped. She glanced at her own reflection. She was a stingy, tight-fisted, whiskey drinker with chubby spots and handsome spots. Her friends saw her as a panicky, purring patient. Once, she had even jumped into a river and saved an oily puppy.
But not even a stingy person who had once jumped into a river and saved an oily puppy, was prepared for what May had in store today.
The rain hammered like drinking maggots, making Ruth worried.
As Ruth stepped outside and May came closer, she could see the nasty smile on her face.
“I am here because I want justice,” May bellowed, in a generous tone. She slammed her fist against Ruth’s chest, with the force of 372 tortoises. “I frigging love you, Ruth Cockle.”
Ruth looked back, even more worried and still f******** the silver knife. “May, I admire your eyebrows,” she replied.
They looked at each other with stable feelings, like two outrageous, open ostriches rampaging at a very brave Christening, which had classical music playing in the background and two scheming uncles shouting to the beat.
Suddenly, May lunged forward and tried to punch Ruth in the face. Quickly, Ruth grabbed the silver knife and brought it down on May’s skull.
May’s moist spots trembled and her ginger spots wobbled. She looked stressed, her body raw like a sparkling, snotty sausage.
Then she let out an agonising groan and collapsed onto the ground. Moments later May Parker was dead.
Ruth Cockle went back inside and made herself a nice glass of whiskey.
