Slice of life
The courier was insistent. He’d lugged the six foot tall, massive cardboard box up our drive. The addressee, hadn’t answered. So the courier asked me to take in the huge package.
Claiming he’d driven many miles to deliver the monster parcel, anxiously I let him heave it into my garage, where it stood for days. Until my neighbour came round to collect it, with difficulty.
His wife had run off with another man, leaving her kids behind. But he told me the man had sent her back.
Their marriage was in pieces; the sound of his chainsaw later confirmed that.

Most of this is true... maybe 80%. But I sincerely hope it’s not 100%!

So the other guy couldn't even be bothered to do some work himself? Surely he would've saved on postage??

Couldn’t wait to get rid of her... and there wasn’t enough room for a chainsaw in the hovel of a love nest they’d fled to. And he knew her husband was feeling saw!

What a cut up! Really great, Neville (although, I'm a bit worried about your neighborhood now).

Fun but twisted. I'm guessing the chainsaw was in the box.
