She Ordered a Dirt-Nap, But What She Got... [42-Words]

Theme: Noir
She took an endless drag of her Camel, snuffing it in day-old Lo Mein, before she spoke, “What’s this pansy bullshit? You got no respect for family, Mick.”

​Mick was flummoxed. He’d followed protocol, sending her husband to sleep with the fishes.
