My neighbour Jack was always at logger heads with his wife Jenny.At one time, he gave his better half a beating to the point of his wife being hospitalized for good ten days. Her head was swollen.She had two broken ribs.
Jack was a bag of bones with long legs like flamingo. He was workaholic and never had time for his wife. As far as he was concerned,he neither cared for her pleasure nor her leisure.
Right now, I could hear a heated argument taking place in their apartment. I was seated outside my apartment bare chest and in jungle shorts enjoying the cool night breeze. It was nine o'clock shy of sixteen minutes before getting inside to watch the news broadcast.
Breaking furniture and screaming ensued in Jack's apartment. No neighbour was ready to pour oil on their troubled water affair. Jack was a former navy seal and was well known for his violent temper. No one was ready to cross his line for whatever reason.
Their window shattered and a woman's high heeled stiletto shoe came out. No sooner had the shoe landed on the paved surface than Jenny shot out of the apartment like an arrow. She was in a nightdress and she dashed into my apartment.She almost knocked me down but in the nick of time, I managed to get out of her way. I asked myself " of all the apartments why did this woman decided to seek refuge from mine.?"
