The doctor vs. the lawyer vs. the battered woman

By GRETCHEN ELSNER

THE Doctor and the Woman lived together happily and then in the winter a new neighbour moved in to their building. It was obvious that he was a Lawyer and the two men in suits became fast friends. The Doctor made cookies for The Lawyer. The Lawyer would return home from work each night, smoke cocaine and remodel his apartment. The Woman got on well with The Lawyer’s Chilean lady-friend. One evening in the spring, the woman met The Lawyer at the foot of the terminal. The Lawyer invited her for a drink and not thinking much of it, she agreed. The Lawyer drugged The Woman‘s drink and led her home. There he made such loud, loose sport with her that the downstairs neighbour’s child awoke with nightmares. The Doctor, missing the return of his woman, went to investigate. Upon finding his woman upstairs he had a few hard words with The Lawyer and escorted The Woman back home. In his devastating rage and fatigue he bound, beat, and assaulted The Woman for days, and tormented The Lawyer with his rage. The Doctor had in his acquaintance a Can Collector whom he took into his confidence. The Can Collector persuaded The Doctor that the most efficient thing to do to resolve the situation was to hire a junkie to attack The Lawyer. Seeing how tempestuous the situation had become, The Woman, using a cast iron frying pan, corralled the three to discuss it, and in their discourse they all agreed that the very best thing to do to end their dispute was to have a cream pie fight.
