Tears

She waits for him, for she loves him, and adores him dearly. Finally he arrives home after a night with another woman. She questions his whereabouts which sends him into a rage and he beats her, she cries. This happens almost everyday and all she does is cry. Finally one day he comes home and beats her till she is bloody, barely able to move. She tries to go for the phone, but before she can reach it the gun fires. She no longer cries, but realization pops into his head and he begins to cry. He does not cry for her, he cries for himself. The children come down the stairs from the noise. They see their mother lying there still, lifeless, on the floor. The son asks what's wrong with mommy while the girl begins to cry. The father looks up at them and without a second thought the gun fires twice more. Then he finally thinks to himself and asks was it worth it, the gun goes off for one last time.
