Hit by Lightning Page #9

Synopsis: When Ricky Miller, a single, quiet 40-year old aspiring writer and manager of Debbie's (think Denny's) and probably the last person you'd notice in a crowd is 'hit by lightning' and meets the love of his life, the beautiful Danita on E-Happily.com, he is catapulted into a relationship online but it's a lot more than what he bargained for - this includes being asked to kill! Hounded by his best friend Seth who thinks no "10" would even go out with a guy like Ricky unless she had ulterior motives (or needed glasses), Ricky starts to get skeptical himself. Turns out, Danita confesses she's actually married to a handsome affable crime novelist and former Rabbi, Ben Jacobs. Is Danita telling Ricky the truth when she says wants to leave her husband but fears for her life if she does? Will Ricky go through with the plan to kill him so he and Danita can live happily ever after?

That's a little excessive, cuz.

Holly sh*t.

You again, God?

Oh that was so sweet... and a

little sick.

Why would you let an innocent,

um...

serial killer get punished for

something I did?

My life is over anyway.

You like "Lost in America" too?

Oh my god.

You must have hated me.

You must have thought I ran away

and that I'd never come back.

Yeah, it kind of crossed my

mind.

The police were starting to

suspect me, more and more,

so I ditched my phone, any

record of you and...

I knew we wouldn't be able to

stay away from each other.

So I got on a plane and flew

half way around the world and

just kept of flying and kept on

running...

and then... I heard something on

the news about a killer

that was arrested back in

America

for the murder of Ben Jacobs.

I'm pretty sure he's innocent.

Me too.

The police seem to believe him

though.

It's crazy... how could this

happen...

I pray to a deranged deity.

I'm so sorry, Ricky.

You must have thought I was one

of those... you know,

'movie b*tches, ' like Seth kept

warning you about...

No, no, I could never think you're

one of those b*tches, never.

Okay, maybe a few, times, okay,

several times,

in my, smallest, darkest

moments...

oh my god, I love you.

I love you more, plus infinity.

I love you more, plus double

infinity.

I love you more, plus triple...

oh, Holy sh*t-balls, you win.

I was a... widow,

and I thought it was too late to

meet a soulmate,

that I'd have a better chance of

getting hit by lightning,

and then one day, the perfect

guy appeared.

I used to work here, but then I

met Danita, my inspiration,

my, my muse, and a, now I've

written two best-sellers and

one of them might even be made

into a movie...

with Ashton Kutcher.

And he's gotten me to start

painting again too.

We both love cats and hockey and

Albert Brooks and

going out to romantic places...

Though, we do tend to disagree

from time to time...

About... who loves who more.

F*** you, Ricky and Danita.
