Peace At Last

Here we lie in peace without strife which we always had in married life. What a pity that it took cold murder to break us up and separate us further. And stranger still, if not bizarre, we should have met at the same bar and learned simultaneously of each other’s infidelity. And how quickly we took offense and shot each other in self-defense.

Neither survived Dan. The onlooker is simply not mentioned. This is a rhetorical device whose name escapes me at the omebt. Thanks for enjoying my humor. / Maurice
