When his girlfriend left him for another man,
the surprise and the shock of it made him crazy.
The rage inside him burned like a flaming furnace.
Many times he imagined killing her for what she’d done.
He bought a Glock 19 pistol, learned how to use it.
He knew the hours she worked at her supermarket job
and waited for her outside one night at 9 pm in his car.
When she exited the supermarket, he jumped out of his car
and told her she was going to die until he changed his mind
and put the pistol to his head and killed himself instead.
