A Peaceful Day

A peaceful day This day was a non-event woke up at nine had a coffee, a shower and then on the training bike for an hour The sun was shining as we had breakfast of boiled eggs nothing could upset me my wife had been dreaming of a broken mirror, my dream was we had gone to Italy, Venice I think lots of water in smelly canals. We were eating at the local restaurant it is clean and we know the staff tipping them would be an insult. When the place was empty, I got up grabbed a knife and killed my wife several times because I didn’t want to go to Italy and no one had ever asked me what I wanted. The police were kind and understanding let me drive home by myself. At home, my wife had bandaged feet she had stepped on shared of glass from the broken window which shows dreams sometimes come true
