The Lady Killer: Intense, Suspenseful, Gripping Literary Fiction
“With no one else to turn to ‘out there’ since she had no friends, her son’d left her for her worst enemy and her boyfriend’d been taken away to jail she put her energy into drinking, the worst thing for her, and pining for the miscreant, a tragedy in the making.
One night as she’d been drinking her welfare money in the expensive Sand Piper, she, more sloppily than usual, had divulged her plight to Mort the Hollywood screenwriter and local gadfly when this wit said to her.
“I don’t know ...what you’re so upset about dear, if you’re really interested in getting the string bean out of jail, just put up your house as collateral and bail him out. Just be sure if you do he doesn’t disappear and you have to forfeit what you’ve put up, otherwise you’ll lose everything.”
Without apparently even having heard the last sentence, she said, “Can I do that?” It was something she hadn’t thought of. Mort, of course, didn’t point out that action’d undoubtedly only result in so much free time before his trial came up and they put him away perhaps for good.MoreLess
