100 Word Story writing prompt entry

Hector's idea had grown into a plot. Since he had snagged the role of Othello, and his wife was playing the part of Desdemona, he could accidentally off her in rehearsal and get away with it.

"I've brought a weapon today, Gordo, and I'm going to improvise killing Jane."

"Yeah -- I don't think so, Hector. It presents a few problems that we're not ready for here in the community theater."

"Don't you think Desdemona has been strangled enough times? This might perk up the crowd."

"We're just killing Desdemona, Hector, not Jane. The .357 magnum revolver won't be necessary."
