He fumbled with his house key trying to open the squeaky back door, cursing himself for not having sprayed more WD-40. He prayed she would already be asleep, so he could maneuver his way into the bathroom for a quick shower before climbing into bed without waking her.

He smiled with relief as she pulled the trigger.
Perfect!
That’s one way to get rid of a pest! Nicely done. I liked it!
Another great surprising story.Loved it!
