husband tries to leave wife, wife brutally murders husband

[vickista]

funnilly enough, while doing yr 10 english hw, i was doing a reading comprehension activity, and i read a story called -like a lamb to the slaughter- and it was about this woman who was pregnant and her husband wanted to leave her, and when he told her she killed him by hitting him in the back of the head with a leg of lamb which she was going to cook for their dinner, and once she killed him, she put the lamb in the oven and then went to the grocery store and bought some vegetables to go with the lamb and some cheesecake too as it was her husbands favourite, and then she went back home and called the police and made it out as if while she was gone he had been killed, and so the police came in and inversitgated it and she put on a pretty convincing act, and in the end she got the policemen to eat the leg of lamb, and the police are eating and sitting at the table discussing it and one of them goes "its impossible that the murderer took such a heavy weapon with him, its got to be somewhere on the premesis" and the other cop goes "yeah it must be, i bet you its right under our noses" and the wife starts laughing... and thats how it ends but it was kinda scary coz as you read it you get that "chill" sensation down ur spine, and this was at grk skool right and on the way home i fell asleep in the car and i kept seeing in my mind the wife standing over the husband with the leg of lamb and like laughing her head off , it was really creepy, i didnt realise comprehension could do that to you.

well maybe u have to actually read it for urself, but it wasnt so much what she did it was her lack of remorse which scared the bejesus outta me, i mean she didnt feel one little bit sorry.

Oh, just wait until if you're ever pregnant someday.

hehe, i can understand her worries for her child, but the husband even said he'd make sure she was well looked after etc.

She's 12. In this modern world, she's probably pregnant already.

Lamb to the slaughter is a great story. Roald Dahl i believe.
