TO DO, OR NOT TO DO

PROLOGUE

"Silence in the court of law!"
Johnny's heart was thumping so hard, he almost feared the judge could hear it over the bellowing of the court clerk. He repeated the silent prayer which he had become accustomed to since the incident and as he did so, almost chuckled out loud. Funny, he thought, that the fear of going to prison had made him believe and accept Christ... something those intrusive Jehovah Witnesses had been trying for almost a year to do. No, Johnny was not pagan. He was just a Catholic, who happened to be an occasional church goer. His Sundays had become lazy days over the years, and he spent the day golfing and drinking beer at the expensive Domaco Golf Club, where his similarly pot-bellied friends and colleagues came, in a bid to run away from their nagging wives. Of course, that was the only reason for visiting the club every Sunday and not those pretty young angels with celestially lean bodies and painted faces, who were always conveniently using the club's pool on Sundays. The girls... the reason why I am in this mess anyway, Johnny sadly thought to himself as the clerk begun to read out all the counts and charges entered against him. He religiously responded "Not Guilty" to each of them, just as his lawyer had told him to. I should have stayed home with Gladys, he thought again. Her stomach might be huge, her palms as rough as ancient sandpaper used by the carpenters of the ancient aristocratic bourgeoisie and her face may be as plain as daylight, but she was still the mother of his four sons. He spotted her dutifully sitting across the jury, chin in palms, looking on at the clerk and managing only to wipe her tears before they ruined her makeup as she listened to the facts of the case being read. He was almost ashamed of himself, but Johnny was too thickheaded to realize the serious implications this would have on him, even if acquitted.

OMG guys. What do you think? LOL okay, let me give you a gist of the story. So Johnny is a middle class worker who gets involved with a young woman, who is not his wife...oh-oh. Johnny is quite impatient and not a very lovable person, mind you. Does it surprise you then that he was found at the murder scene of the woman he was involved with? A gunshot to her head and several knife stabs!! What do you think? How did it end that way? Could Johnny have done such a dishonorable deed? If he didn't, then who did?? Haha, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you..... TO DO, OR NOT TO DO!
