Going Postal

Nothing fancy just a very short story

 

A man rushes home for lunch one day, greets his wife. Opens up the closet door grabs a brief case then slams the door shut  gets in his car, and make his way back to work. Goes into his bosses office opens up the case and assemblies his project. He points the loaded gun at his boss, then he unloads round after round. Then turns the gun on himself, and with his last dieing breath says “ That will teach you for cheating on me with my wife”

Well, it might be short, but it conveys emotion.

The title somewhat gave away the ending, though, and this one cries for a surprise ending. It surprised me that none of his anger appeared directed at his wife. While the revenge on the other man is understandable, the one who violated his trust the most is greeted in passing.
