Rendezvous

Adam Freeman inserted his key into the lock of his front door. He let himslf in, walked over to ~he
far corner of his living room, and dropped the thick green plastic bag he had been carrying. He t en
walked upstairs to his bedroom. He removed his clothes, got a towel from one of his dresser drawer~
and went into the bathroom. Adam dropped the towel on the toilet seat, turned the shower on, ~n t
wstehpapt edhe inne.edTehde. water was very warm. It was almost hot even but Adam didn't mind. It was JUs

When he had finished his shower and dried off, Adam went back to his bedroom. He got ~s
deodorant off of his nightstand and applid three strokes under each arm. He used the soli~ k~nd. ~.e
sbkrainn.d name was Old Spice. He had used Right Guard for a long time, but it had begun to irritate IS

After putting on on deodorant, Adan went over to one of his drawers and got out a pair of b!ue
jockey shorts. Aft", putting on his shorts, Adam threw on a pair of faded Levi's which had been Iy~ng
across the back of his favorite chair. He found a Budweiser tee-shirt on his bedroom floor, picke It
up, sniffed the underarms of it and decided that it didn't smell too bad because he put it on. Ada;
then walked over to his closet. When he opened the door, a shoe and a denim jacket fell on his hea h
Luckily, the shoe was a sneaker so it didn't do much damage. Adam bent down and searched throug
the clothing on his closet floor. Eventually he found a pair of sneakers that looked as if they were
thirty years old. They were a pair of Jack Percell's. Well to be truthful, they were only eight years
old but you know what din can do to some things. They didn't have much of a sole left, and the iils
of the right shoe was sticking out. The smell was ... well I don't want to gross you out with the detaI s
so let's just say that the smell would make most skunks turn green with envy.

Anyway, Adam put on his faithful old "l.P.'s" and strolled back downstairs. He sat on his c~u~
and decided that he would relax for awhile. It was exactly 2:32 a.m. when Adam thought tha to
would be able to make It to Anita's house if he left by 3 a.m. So Adam closed hIS eyes and tried
let his mind wander, Howeve" it didn't work because all he could think about was the fact that h~
had just murdered his wife. Adam thought that this wasn't the way it was supposed to be. He shoul.
be cool, calm and collected ...just like those people on television. He thought that people who commIt
murders should be methodical with their plan, and once the act was done that they should show. no
raesmhoerlsle.. However, this wasn't television, and to put it bluntly, Adam was nervous and feeling guIlty

Adam didn't think that he should feel guilty. "Hell," Adam thought, "the bitch deserved ~t."
As far as Adam was concerned his wife Maria was a cheating, stealing, conniving whore! And cheatm~,
stealing, conniving whores deserved to die! A rather interesting perspective huh? Well anyway thIS
was the way that Adam felt about his beloved wife Maria.

Not only had Adam been married to someone he loathed, but he was also slepping with som~on,e
named Anita. So it looks as if Maria wasn't the only one cheating on the marriage. But Adam dIdn t
see things quite this way because in his mind he felt that Anita and he belonged together. When t~ey
were together th~ 'est of the world didn't maltee. They could talk for hours, They .seemed to thn~~
off of each other s company. They were destined to be together. And beside all of this, Adam thoug

Anyway, Adam continued to sit on his couch and tried to rationalize his way out of the guilt
that he was feeling as a result of murdering his wife. After awhile, he looked at his watch and it .w~s
