A Good Deed... Leads to a Death Sentence?
My family and I have gone on a road trip.
But when I help an old lady to her feet after she suffered from a fall in the rest stop, my wife, Cindy Ford, who has been chatting animatedly with me the whole time, scowls at me instantly.
"I never knew you were this underhanded! Just the sight of you disgusts me! Get lost!"
Even my eight-year-old daughter, Tessa Hayes, glares at me disdainfully.
"I don't want someone like you as my dad!"
With an ashen face, Cindy whisks Tessa into the car immediately. Just like that, they abandon me at the rest stop.
What I don't expect is that my in-laws actually call me on the phone and insult me as a walking jinx after finding out about the incident. Now, they want Cindy to get a divorce with me as soon as possible.
Furious, I return to my childhood home and dump all of my emotional load on my parents.
But my parents, who have always doted on me, don't console me at all after they find out I've helped an old lady up. Instead, their expressions go stormy.
"How on earth did we end up having a son like you? You should just die already!"
My parents kick me out of the house right away. Dazed and disoriented, I end up getting struck and killed by an incoming truck.
Even as I breathe my last, I never understand what I've done wrong.
When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day I help the old lady up to her feet.
