I was a mermaid in a past life

Here's my overgrown garden space!

Thought I would snap a quick pic of the books I've been saving for reading at the new apartment.

My dad's coming down to help me pack so I get to show him the apartment! He's going to go to see if he can get his phone fixed while I get some groceries.

Fall, you monster!

I'm sweating.

I'm sitting outside and this lady shouts at me from across the street like "Are you okay?" because I am sitting out here by myself. So she comes over here and sits on the bench and starts talking. She's had a bit too much to drink, I think, so I show her some pet pictures ("Is that a cat???") and let her vent because I'm not much of a talker and if she wants to vent, whatever.

So she starts rooting around in her purse and says she can't find her phone but her friend lives next door. I'm like "Okay it's just around the corner" so I start walking with her, and this woman is wobbling so I let her hold on to my rollator, and we get around the corner and there are these two guys there and they seem to know her and I'm like "Are you going to be okay here?" and she's like "Yeah, they're my friends." (Doubt) So I'm just like "Okay well I'll be just around the corner if you need me to call a cab."

Fucking. What just happened.

When you get to the new apartment, you do not have to unpack everything all at once.

He goes to jail. The pastor of his church goes to the parole board and is like "If you let him out, he'll have the support of the church community."

So he's released from jail and while he's attending church he reconnects with someone he knew from before prison: the pastor's daughter. They hit it off and get married and have two kids. She also has two kids from a previous marriage.

Abusive assholes gonna abuse and so the lady ends up filing for divorce twice (the first time they were going through it and decide to reconcile). She also tries to file a restraining order and is denied due to lack of evidence.

So she finally has enough and decides to leave him for good, and how does he respond?

By killing her children (two in front of her) and leaving her alive.

It's only then that she finds out her dad campaigned to have him released from prison and he never saw fit to inform her "Hey just so you know your boyfriend murdered his previous wife."

She's just like "I didn't talk to him for ages after that." And I'm just like: "I would have been arrested for patricide."
