Death by Scrabble

Short story written by: Charlie Fish
Type: crime

     Death by scrabble; a very interesting story containing a unexpected twist, It all start by a man and his wife playing scrabble, every one by his turn and in every turn the narrator (the men)  mention how much he hates his wife, wishing he could get rid of her as fast as possible.

     The story is all about the two of them playing one by one a word, realizing that every word they enter becomes reality, for instant, once he entered the word EXPLODES the air conditioning explodes, and after others similar situations, the men realize  it all happens and words become reality, that's when he decided to test it by entering the word FLY, wishing that he could find himself flying in the middle of nowhere, but instead he abruptly found a fly on the game board, that's when he decided to chose a unambiguous word helping him to kill his wife. 

    After several turns the man spells QUACK, and suddenly the world start trembling and everything starts falling, that's when his wife spelled the word DEATH and there was her husband lying on the floor dead by a Bee stuck in his throat.

Moral in the story: Don't  ever wish something bad on someone because it will come around to you instead.
