Unwrapping the present, hearing the gunshot; at the end of it all Bilo felt that in some superficial way he unleashed hell on his family.
It was the first present his biological dad had ever given him. Bilo dropped the box when the gun sounded, sending a slug through Aunt Iris’ latest husband – fifth times the charm.
Well, maybe not for Aunt Iris – her brains got mixed with the potpourri.
Bilo’s mom had salvinated for this day for 19 years, the day she never believed could happen was now in full gear, but she waited for Bilo’s dad to off the annoying relatives. THEN she came out swinging with her daddy’s axe. The axe Bilo’s grandfather had used for 49 years with the fire department.
As a little girl, Bilo’s mom once asked her fireman father if he ever wanted to use the axe on people. He replied, “Sometimes.”
“Me too,” said Bilo’s mom.
