Death will never tear us apart

They were together a long time
He was retired
She was a homemaker all her life
Most of their family has moved away or died
Two hermits that knew nothing more then each other
They loved tv and game shows
They never left the house
They received their food and clothing through the internet
Occasionally a technician or handyman would come over to fix some household issue
They were happy
They knew no other way
One day the husband fell ill
She knew if she took him to the hospital, he'd die
At one point, he wanted to go, but she refused
She said to him, "I can nurse you back to the way you were"
That never happened
He died 2 weeks later
She was beside herself
She didn't know what to do
They weren't to well off
Money was always tight and scarce
A will was never created
Now the day has come and nothing was arranged
She began to accept the fact that her husband was dead
She went about her life as if he was still alive
It took all of her strength to move him from the bed and prop him up in the living room
She placed him on his favorite chair
An old beat up black leather recliner
After 2 days the body wasn't as fresh as when he 1st died
Her husbands body began to bloat and a pungent odor started appearing
Instead of calling someone, she went to his armoire and took out his favorite cologne
She poured the whole bottle over his head
She continued to go about her life as though nothing was wrong
One day, the mail man placed the mail in their mailbox attached to the house
He noticed an odd smell coming from the house, plus mail from prior days wasn't taken out of the mailbox
He immediately called the police
The police arrived 2 hours later
When they knocked, the woman didn't answer
Her head though was visible to the officers, since the windows were low enough
They yelled to her to open the door
"We can see your in there!"
She did just that
When the police entered, the smell was beyond horrible
One officer went back outside to vomit
As the other officer continued through the dilapidated house, he approached the living room
And there was the husband
Sitting in an upward position in his recliner, watching tv!
His body was partially dressed with his right leg missing
The officer asked, "What's going on here?! Why haven't the paramedics been called?"
"And why is your husbands leg hacked off at the knee?"
The woman said in a fragile, delicate voice, "Oh nothing..My husband died 3 weeks ago. I have very little money to buy food."
"I became hungry, so I decided to eat his flesh."
She asked the officer if he would like some of the leftovers for lunch
He immediately called for back up and took the woman out of the house and into the police car
As she was walking out she yelled,[i] "Please leave my husband there at least for the next 20 minutes."
"Let him finish watching his favorite show The Price Is Right!!"
