The Eternal Night #284

by

"My God!" Sperry said. "To think I almost married someone like you!"

Lily grabbed the wine bottle that was sitting on the coffee table and broke the end off it and started toward Sperry.

I pulled my gun and said, "Lily, stop!"

She lunged toward Sperry and I fired. Her lifeless body crashed to the floor.

Sperry started crying. He still loved her, even after what he'd found out. I guess I couldn't blame him. He knelt down beside her body.

"My little Lily," he said, sobbing.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sperry. I had no idea things would be this bad."

    I know wine bottles don't break easily like they do in the movies, but since I write these like they're movies I took a bit of artistic license.

    I’m delighted to say I’ve never tried to break a wine bottle in anger, nor witnessed the same. Artistic licence always permitted!

    Yeah, I think the ones they use in Hollywood are sugar glass, which was made from sugar and glucose or corn syrup. They say you could even eat it after it broke. And I saw a guy pick up chips from a broken beer bottle and eat them in a movie. I wondered how they did that.
