#221 Planning the Perfect Evening- Jabari Asim
We learned from previous stories that Paul Whittier is a
drunken abusive husband. We learn here that part of his anger stems from
his money problems. He owes the wrong people, the wrong amount of money. That
is not excuse his behavior at all, abusing people is abusing people and no
amount of excuses will make up for the pain they cause. Here is one abusive
husband’s sorry reasoning behind his disgusting behavior:
“She hardly moved when he came in, her relaxed, splendidly
indifferent posture practically begging him to slap some sense into her, as if
that was possible. He rolled up his sleeves and stepped towards her without so
much as a ‘Honey, I’m home.’ Time was, a woman hopped up and made herself busy when
her man came through the door. Time was, insolence didn’t go steaming out of a
woman like sewer gas. Where was she getting this new, foul attitude?”
Pretty hard to look inside such anger and violence, but
luckily there may be relief on the horizon. The heavy lifting men he owes money
to are on there way to pay him a visit. In extreme irony, these violent men,
killers and knee-cap crackers are very nice to their woman, and nice to his as
well.
