Stacie bursts into her summer school dorm room dramatically. “I’m going to kill him! Jeff Wallace is a low-down two-timing rat-faced pig-dog! I’m going strangle him and cut up the pieces with a butter knife!” Her new roommate, Alexis, looks up diffidently from the book she’s reading.
“A chainsaw would be faster. Gets the job done in under an hour. Messy, though, so you should probably get some tarps. And Drain-O the bathtub drain when you’re done, otherwise there’s evidence.”
Stacie stares at her, nonplussed. “How do you know that?”
“I learned it from my dad.”
Somehow that’s not reassuring.
