I Will Kill Myself If You Leave

I will kill myself is you leave, she said. And so he stayed, but was miserable. She had an ugly temper, and she was mean. To his family and his friends, especially to his mother. If you leave, I will pull the trigger, she threatened him. So he stayed longer, but it was worse this time. She belittled him and put him down. She called him names like loser, clown, wimp boy. He made a t-chart which gave the pros and cons of leaving. On the plus side there were two things. She could cook and clean. On the negative side, there were sixty-two things. He finally left, and never looked back. As far as he knows she is still threatening to kill herself. As each of her husbands makes their escape. So far there have been six of them and she is still standing.
