He hung up, and left work immediately.
Hearing Mark say that, I felt hollow.
He thought I was trying to murder his wife.

When I got to the apartment, Mark was already there.
He stared at me, and ran to the apartment.
I ran with him, but I didn’t see any fire.
Mark got angrier.
He stopped, and asked, “What are you doing?! Why would you ask Brenda to stay inside when there’s a fire?!”
I looked confused and scared. “Brenda told me
not to come home and said that the house was

not to come home, and said that the house was
on fire, so I called you.”
Mark saw that there was no fire.
He picked up a fire extinguisher, and started
smashing the door.
He called Brenda’s name.
All of the neighbors came out to see what was
happening.
Mark kept smashing the door, and then called
the apartment management to open the door.
Mark then started yelling at me.
“Mom, this is all your fault! Now Brenda might
be dying, and you’ll be happy!”
I looked at him.

He stared back at me.
He looked at me. “Your daughter–in–law is dying, and you don’t care!“,
Some of the neighbors said, “Mark, you’re so
out of control! That’s your mother, don’t be disrespectful! Don’t do anything stupid!”
Other people were sticking up for me.
Mark kept yelling, and I felt so sad.
I told myself I shouldn’t feel that way.
While we were waiting, the management showed up.
It took them a long time to open the door.
When the door opened, Mark ran inside.
I followed him, and so did the neighbors.

“Brenda! Brenda!”
“AHHHHH!”
Two voices yelled at the same time.
Mark froze.
The neighbors gasped.
Brenda was naked, being straddled by her side piece, Dave.
They were stuck together… with super glue! Chapter 2

Mark was staring down at Brenda and Dave, his eyes bloodshot, practically bugging out of his head,
“Brenda! What the hell is going on here?!!!”
Г
His roar snapped everyone out of their shock.
Brenda, realizing she was buck naked,
scrambled for a throw blanket to cover herself.
Every time she moved, Dave groaned in pain, whimpering for her to be gentle. It was almost comical.
Some of the neighbors couldn’t help but pipe up.
“Brenda, your mother–in–law and Mark are so good to you! How could you do something this low?!”
“Ugh, what a disgrace! Cheating right in her own home!”
“I always said there was something shady about that Brenda. Now look at this, plain as day.”

“Poor Mark, he doesn’t deserve this. He’s way
too good for her!”
Brenda was so mortified she just buried her
face in the blanket.
My sweet, gullible boy was red in the face.
I, meanwhile, just watched the show, cool as a cucumber.
