It’s about 4:35 p.m. now. Caleb walked towards the bloody main room and turned the radio off. His sobriety was unaffected by the unsightly blood. He completely lost his temper when he stabbed a knife into his wife’s neck. There has been no study that explains how a drunk person behaves. No study has explained why ruthless beasts like him act this way over trivial things.
It all started yesterday night with drinking and falling asleep on the couch. After getting up, he asked Dorothy for a coffee to sober up. A helpless soul like her has to admit the harsh reality of having a hung-over husband who abuses her, and yet she serves him, respects him, and “loves” him. The mysterious and unpalatable ‘LOVE’ made her serve him a cup of hot coffee with extra sugar.
The bitter flavour of alcohol didn’t leave his mouth, however, so he couldn’t taste the sweetness of the coffee. Being half-hearted, he started an argument. Like most who are hung over, he was easily infuriated, and it was his fault. Although she didn’t raise her voice, he raised his hand at her, assuming she didn’t obey, respect, or treat him well. It wasn’t mundane.
