Hillary Chinnery returned from work late that day. This had become a regular occurrence but it should be noted that as the years went by the time he returned home had gotten later and later, as if one day he may just never return. This didn't seem like too bad a thing to happen thought his wife, who although loved her husband had grown increasingly sick of him the less she saw of him. It was already well into the evening when Hillary got in. "Where's my tea?" he mumbled before the door was even closed behind him. His wife explained that the chicken was in the oven but the frozen vegetables were not yet defrosted. Rage surged up inside Hillary and he only managed to curb it by focusing on his clenched fists and remembering that his favourite romantic movie was on tonight - running man. After a couple of medium strength lagers, watching Arnold Schwarzenegger kill off the surrounding members of the cast, Hillary felt better. Within the futuristic world he saw Arnold murder someone with a pneumatic drill and say 'screw you'. A cruel smile spread on Hilary's face and he enjoyed the idea that a brutal slaughtering required a proceeding pun. "How was work?" asked his wife from what seemed like nowhere. Hillary ignored the question. "How was work?" she repeated. Again Hillary ignored. "David came round today, asked if we had any plans for Christmas. I told him I didn't know." She said. For some reason this completely enraged Hillary. Blood rushed quickly to his face and he felt the heat burning in his cheeks. Still he said nothing to his wife. "Do you want me to get you another drink?" his wife asked. This was simply too much for the now fuming Hillary. He got up from the chair, constantly referred to as 'my chair', he walked a stiff walk to the kitchen and when he returned he was carrying the bag of not yet defrosted frozen vegetables. He then swung the bag at his wife. He knocked her down. He beat her to death. Hillary looked down at the object that was once a living thing and mumbled - "Rest in pees"
