“Who dun it?”
A Modern Tale of Men, Mayhem and Machine Guns
(alright, they weren’t machine guns. They were Rubber Band Guns, but I was going for the whole alliteration thing…)
Biceps and I made gifts for our family this year. The ladies received girly things. The men received very manly things. Fourteen Rubber Band Guns were crafted for the men. They received their new weaponry and enough ammunition to do some damage to the loved ones surrounding them.
With the guns loaded and the rules explained to young and old alike…
…and with every man suppressing way too much energy for way too stinkin’ long on Christmas day, the stage was ripe for a modern, ‘Who dun it’ scenario.
A fired gun and a naughty motive are all that it takes to convict a man. And there were several men in this predicament.
Father turned against son. Grandson turned against Grandfather. Brother threatened brother.
And then, a shot rang out. A door slammed.
The maid screamed.
And my father had been maliciously targeted by an unknown shooter…
…and hit! Oh, the pain! The agony!
The guilty party still has yet to step forward and admit to what they had done. But justice is swift in this house and you cannot hide from justice. Good luck hiding, guilty one. Good luck.
