A Fatal Mistake

by Mike Fontanini

        She had just finished her college education and got a job. She was ready to start a family and so was her boy friend. In their future they saw endless possibilities. Their love was deep.
        They decided to have one child. So they did and it turned out to be a girl. The baby girl was their whole world. They took care of it day and night.
        Soon several months had passed, and then several more. The little girl's birthday was rolling around. She was 1 year old.
        Later that year they decided to have a second child. It turned out to be a boy. They loved both of their children. They both would've given their lives to protect them.
        Time continued on its varied pace. Another year passed and now the boy was 1 year old, and the girl was 3. They were a perfect little family. Dad played with the children often, and mom played games with them as well.
        One day dad came home and surprised the family. He had bought a computer. Now they could use the web, and the children could play educational little games. He had bought one little game that would teach the kids how to spell. This would help the girl the most because she was almost 4. The boy was almost 2.
        It was a rainy day several months later. Their mom had grown suspicious. Their father was spending less and less time at home, and was out late every night. He seemed to be growing more and more distant from them.
        Each evening he would stop by after work for a while and then he would leave. She had know idea where he went, but she was suspicious that something was not right. She was correct. He finally left her. She had to break the news to the children and her heart was torn as she watched the pain in their eyes, and their tears that soon fell in rivers. Seeing the pain he'd cause the children, she could help but be a little mad.
        One stormy evening after he left his new house, she and followed him with her car. She discovered where he had been going. He had been going to a strip club. She sat in her car outside it and waited. A few minutes after he had gone in, he came back out with a woman. The two got in his car.
        The angry mother had seen him give her money before they got in the car. It was quite obvious that he was paying her for sex. Then they began to drive away, so the angry mother followed.
        They stopped at the hooker's house. They were unaware of the angry mother watching from across the street. The angry mother watched as the two went into the house.
        About a half-hour later, they came back out. They said goodbye to each other and the hooker went back inside. The angry mother figured that this must be the hooker's house then. At that moment a weather bulletin came over the radio. It was a tornado warning. From what they said, the tornado was headed straight for this area. The angry mother knew she had little time before the tornado would arrive.
        As the hooker went back inside her house, the angry mother reached over and opened the glove compartment in her car where she had a hand gun for protection just in case she ever needed it. She pulled out the pistol and opened the car door. Then she got out of the car and walked up behind him on the sidewalk; her car door was standing wide open.
        She tapped his shoulder. He turned around as a bolt of lightning cracked the sky behind him. It was followed by a loud, ominous, crackling roar of thunder. As the lightning flashed in her eyes, it was clear to him that she knew what was going on.
        The next flash of lightning revealed his corpse lying on the sidewalk. The angry mother went home. Minutes later the tornado arrived and the corpse was blown away.
