Back at The Sternellis' home, Zelda Sternelli was busy murdering her husband.
"You let that bird get out," she said sternly to Frederico Sternelli as she duct taped his mouth, using the roll of tape to wrap more tightly around and around his fat head. He sat in his wheelchair facing the television where Wheel of Fortune was playing, but he wasn't going anywhere -- Zelda had stabbed arrows through his hands and slashed his legs and feet using a machete. His hands were going next.
She raised her machete high in the air and chopped off those big Italian mitts of his. He screamed in agony through his duct tape. Now he wouldn't be able to maneuver his wheelchair.
Zelda reached down and picked up his severed hands, which she dangled in front of his face as she smiled the biggest smile she had ever made.
"See these?" she said, wiggling them. She tossed them across the room into a fireplace. Frederico did not see them go in.
Now for the head.
"I'm bored," Zelda said. She swung the machete and chopped Frederico's head clean off. It rolled on the ground like an old, beat up soccer ball fixed up with duct tape.
Blood came spraying up from Frederico's neck like a fountain. Zelda washed her machete with the blood -- her grandmother had once said that blood was purifying and washed away sins.
Zelda, fed up with the fact that her ******* husband's body was still with her, pushed the wheelchair containing the rest of him down to the ground where it emptied the rest of the contents of Frederico Sternelli's body. Zelda smiled again. No more sass for her. No more errors. No more demands. No more violence. She was a free woman once again.
She spit at Frederico's corpse and told it that dinner was almost ready. When dinner was finally ready -- missing the bird, of course, since it got away -- she brought a tray of food to Frederico's body and spilled it all over what was left of him.
"Go pick up your head and go retrieve your hands, Frederico. Supper's ready!"
She ate alone in the dining room. No TV. No voices. Just pure, wonderful silence. That bird was gone, too. She was in heaven.
