I Guess Wishes Do Come True
They've been married for years
Both nearing 50 years of age
They despise each other more then they love
Many times they argue or fight, it's over petty things
They come together in the evening to watch some TV
Then it's off to bed
Most of their life it's the same old thing
Last night was like many other nights
The TV was turned on
He was looking for a film to watch
The last day or so, the air was cool outside
Instead of turning the air condition on, he decided to open the window halfway
He loved the feeling of that crisp, cool air, swirling on the back of his head & neck
She didn't like it
She told him in a stern voice, "Close that window, It's cold!!"
He said, "Nah"
She said this time in a much angrier voice, "CAN YOU CLOSE THAT FUCKING WINDOW!!?"
He said, "Nope, and over there is a blanket"
"You can slide to the other end of the couch if you're that cold!"
She got off the couch, said to him "FUCK YOU!!" and stormed into the bedroom
He watched his movie without her
Two hours later, he came to bed
He noticed his pillows were thrown onto the floor and her leg was across his side of the bed
As soon as he moved her leg, she yelled, "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE BED!!" YOUR NOT SLEEPING IN HERE!"
He said, "LIKE HELL I'M NOT!!"
She now tried to kick him off the bed
He kept blocking her feet
Finally he said to her in a calm cool voice, "You know what I wish that you would drop dead sometime tonight!"
She said, "OH YEAH, WELL I HOPE YOU CHOKE ON A DICK AND DIE!!"
She turned over
He turned over
They went to sleep
He had one of the best sleeps he had in years
No tossing or turning
No interruptions
When he awoke around 5:30 am
The sky was still black
The days were getting shorter
He got up, did his daily rituals before work
When he signed onto his computer a little after 6 am, he knew she wasn't up but he didn't really care
When the clock said 8:30 am, he decided to go into the bedroom and wake her up
He said with a stern voice, "Come on, time to get up!!"
She sleeps on her stomach, so he couldn't see her face
When he turned her over
Her eyes were wide open and her face looked pale
He checked her pulse and tried to listen for a heartbeat
Nothing
He moved back a few feet from her
He said to himself, goddamn, she's dead!
He began to smirk and kind of chuckle a bit
As he left the room he said, "I got my wish and I didn't commit a murder!!"
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's it!
