Lethal Relations

By Amanda Delgado

LETHAL RELATIONS is a collection of three short stories consisting of drama and suspense.

"Forever." is the story of a young, reckless woman named Phoebe, who has recently lost one of her best friends. As she and her remaining friend, Sherry share a grief-ridden night together filled with drinking and dancing, Phoebe finds that she has been feeling more and more guilt with each passing day. In order for Phoebe to find peace, she must confess to Sherry that she may have been the cause of their friend’s death.

"All Part of the Plan" follows two lovers, Julie and Don as they plot to somehow end the abusive marriage that Julie is in. As they fumble through their plan against Julie's husband, Lenny, it becomes increasingly clear that Julie and Don both don’t know what they’re doing. As their "plan" crumbles before their eyes, Don tries in vain to convince himself that every obstacle that they are suddenly presented with, is easy to get over.

"Goodbye, Mama," tells the story of a beauty pageant contestant, Ellie, and her descent into complete madness after she gets into a car accident. She wakes up in a hospital bed to an unsympathetic mother who blames Ellie for wrecking her car, as well as suffers a head injury that helps her along to the moment of finally snapping. Ellie weeps at night as her mother sleeps soundly beside her and suddenly starts hearing a voice in her head that is telling her to do unspeakable things in order for her to be free of her mother's abuse.

About the Author

Forever.

I’m sorry, I wanted to say, I am so sorry. Please forgive me. It’s my fault. Instead, I said, Whoa, Sherry! Walk much?

She said, You were supposed to hold me, you idiot! She sounded mad, and her words were hilariously slurred, but she was smiling at me in a way that made my heart stop. I thought to myself; I don’t deserve your kind smile. I don’t deserve to hold you. I don’t deserve the trust you have for me.
