“He took one last drag on his cigarette and snapped it away. Then with that faint, fleeting smile playing about his lips, he faced the firing squad; erect and motionless, proud and disdainful, Walter Mitty the Undefeated, inscrutable to the last”…
Smack! Bang! Boom! Walters wife threw pots and pans from across the room. Walter was wondering what was going. His wife smacked his cigarette out of his hand as it hit the ground in an angry matter. A flame flew up and caught his wife in flames. Walter walked away not thinking anything had happened when all of a sudden he heard screaming and yelling
“WALTER HELP! WALTER HELP!”
Walter rolled his eyes not thinking anything was actually wrong, just her voice was irritating him.
“Walter I’m on fire, please come help.”
Ms. Mitty was in distraught and didn’t think Walter would have the decency to come back for her. Walter had taken one more step forwards and stopped. He slightly turned his head knowing he was being insolent as this was his wife and he needed to help her. When he turned around he saw that she was on fire and he screamed and pushed her down to get her to roll on the ground. 2 minutes later she was clear from the fire.
“when will you understand that smoking kills, and as you can see not only you! It nearly killed me TOO. ” screamed Ms. Mitty
“My smoking cant hurt you if you let me be,” Walter exclaimed, as he lit another cigarette…
“Ms.Mitty are you coming?” said this tall man in the distance.
“Yes, hunny I’m on my way over right now.”
Walter asked his wife who that was yelling at her. She replied as if he were just a friend, yet Walter didn’t think the same as her. He asked her where she’s going and what she’s doing.
“Walter calm down I’m going out for lunch with a friend there’s nothing between us, I will be back later tonight.”
Walter somehow didn’t believe her one bit and he thought it’d be a good idea to follow them where they went. He got up and walked behind then in a camouflage outfit thinking it was a great idea and they would never notice him. Minutes later Walter had seen them behind a bush kissing.
“What is going on over here!” screamed Walter.
“Oh, my goodness Walter what a surprise I guess you needed to find out one way or another.” Proclaimed Ms. Mitty.
Walter was drowning in his own tears and knew that she had been insinuatingly this whole time. Walter never thought that something like this would happen…
“Walter, Walter, Walter.” Whispered Ms. Mitty
Walter shot up in a second and was in terror thinking it was real.
“I’m so glad you are still here! I just had a horrible dream.” Panicked Walter
And they lived somewhat of a happy life after that.
THE END
