Unlucky In Love

There was this very unlucky man with a very unlucky past, in a small town with his unlucky dog, upon which stares were cast. They knew to keep their distance and how unlucky was he. His family cursed through generations, their luck was not to be. His mother had passed giving birth, then a plane crashed on their porch. It burst into flames as high as the house and the whole place it did scorch. The family survived but, badly burned, they would be scarred for life. And his dog has walked on three, old legs since that incident with that knife. One day, the unlucky father decided his only son would be forced into an unlucky marriage, after which, they should’ve divorced. For their families, they suffered through, but never got along. That horrible family curse of his made everything go wrong. The only company that he enjoyed was from his three-legged pooch. His wife would start arguments every day ‘cause he spent all their money on hooch. She’d break his family portraits and scream for hours and hours on end. Once, she screamed ‘til she fell to the floor, so a doctor they did send. Her heart was weak and soon thereafter, the very next week, in fact, the unlucky husband came home from work to find all the suitcases packed. His mean, old wife ran out the door when that doctor’s car pulled up. He just sat down with his favorite bottle and slowly filled his cup. His family came when they heard the news. “Why’d this happen?” They noticed the mess. So he turned to them with a drunken smile and answered, “Just lucky, I guess.”
