THE TEXT Hi Bob,
This is Alan next door. I'm sorry buddy, but I have a confession to make
to you. I've been riddled with guilt these past few months and have been
trying to pluck up the courage to tell you to your face, but I am at
least now telling you in text as I can't live with myself a moment longer
without you knowing. The truth is, I have been sharing your wife, day
and night when you're not around. In fact, probably more than you,
particularly in the mornings after you've left for work. I haven't been
getting it at home recently, but that's no excuse I know. The temptation
was just too much....I can no longer live with the guilt and I hope you
will accept my sincerest apologies and forgive me. I promise that it
won't happen again.
Regards, Alan.


THE CONSEQUENCES

Bob, feeling anguished and betrayed, immediately went into his bedroom,
grabbed his gun, and without a word, shot his wife twice, killing her
instantly. He returned to the lounge where he poured himself a stiff
drink and sat down on the sofa. He took out his phone to respond to the
neighbour's text and saw he had another message.


THE NEW MESSAGE

Hi Bob,
This is Alan next door again. Sorry about the slight typo on my last
text, I expect you worked it out anyway, but as I'm sure you noticed, my
predictive text changed 'WiFi' To 'Wife'. Technology hey?!? Hope you
saw the funny side of that.
Regards, Alan.

SMS (text) messages have a character limit
of 160, so that was a lot of text messages
to get all that back and forth.

^^^ You're showing you own an old phone there Perry. You can almost write a novel these days.

You're right. MOTAT have made me several
offers but I've turned them all down.
