A tragic case of paranoia and mistaken identity.
Drunken Actions
by Thesis
The author has placed a warning on this post for violence.
Travis Whitley was having a breakdown. He was depressed and drunk, agitated, and waiting for his wife to get home. She was late again. He looked out his second-floor window and saw her in a car passionately kissing another man. His anger swelled and his emotions overrode his senses.
Retrieving his handgun, he ran to confront them. Shocked at what he saw, he shot into the car, killing both.
His cell phone rang. Answering it, his wife said, “Travis my twin sister, and her boyfriend are coming over soon. I ordered takeout for dinner. I'll be home soon, Love you!”
