"Damn!!" He said. "Damn the damned thing!!".
A quick punch in the wall was unavoidable. He always got like this when that thing appeared, making lots of noise and disturbing his peace.
"Calm down Fred", she tried, "Or else you'll have a heart attack!".
"Now don't tell ME to calm down WOMAN! I'm perfectly healthy! SURE THING I don't need your advice!! SURE THING... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrghhhh! I... I... I... can't breathe..."
He was reaching out for her... She didn't move a muscle! Why should she? He "SURE THING" never needed her help...
The thing... Oh the thing... How the thing was smiling!
She sat on the chair and started to read again until her eyes weren't tired enough... The coffing had stopped finally! The thing had gone away! Oh the peace in that old country! The wind and the birds out there!
She just stood there... hours and hours and hours... Waiting for him to rise again... As he always did...
