There he sat in his car, many emotions displayed upon his face. But if only one could be chosen, you'd probably say: Anger.
The man stared through the windshield of his car, not moving, not making any noise. He simply sat.
All of a sudden, the man backed the car down the road. And then he emerged. He walked over to a room. It appeared to be a lobby.
He grabbed a key off the wall and began to pace away quickly back toward his car. He got back into the car and sped off in the other direction, then stopped.
He emerged from the car once more, taking the key with him. The man paused in front of a door. He shoved the key into the lock and turned the knob--
The man was Mort Corso, with a sneaking suspicion that his wife had been cheating on him for quite a while now. But tonight, Mort decided that he'd had enough. He needed to know if it was true. And he was about to find out--
Mort marched into the dark room. There was his wife. And there was another man. Mort almost began to cry. He wanted to. But he didn't. Instead, at a loss for words, all he could utter was a long painful scream of anguish. His life was over.
