Yelling and shouting, I heard. Oh, I don’t know about what. I just saw the truck leave the driveway shortly after. I’d heard them argue before. They scream all the time. They don’t talk. They shout.
One morning, I recall, she stomped out of the house, screaming, “I’ll kill you.” Then he came out, grabbed her, and went inside with her. The whole time, her voice shrieking, “I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you.” Oh, it was horrible.
Ah, what? His truck and body… Oh, that’s awful. Who could’ve done it? I’ve no idea.

What does nelkumi think? 
Maybe I could play detective for this crime. Good story to go with the picture.

Clearly all the screaming was normalised and it was not taken seriously, but then why would she kill him, she loved him, needed him–who else could she vent her anger on.

We only know part of the story. I like the mystery. It’s never the usual suspect.

Great story, great voice. And I have no idea either who could have done it. 😀

Perhaps the warring pair united against a third party who did the evil deed? Some people just like shouting and arguing, for its own sake.
