Accident prone

by Wendy G


She wrecked the car.

Fortunately, no-one was injured.

Doctors determined she’d had a medical episode and blacked out.

Her loving husband kindly bought a new car.

Not long after, she hit a lamppost, at speed.

Fortunately, no-one was injured.

Doctors could find no reason for her blackouts.

Three days later, she was found dead at the foot of the staircase.

Another blackout?

No, a sharp push from her husband. Easier, quicker … and less expensive!
