Leftovers
A women attending a dinner party in Belgium decided to be nice and help out the host. So she went to put away the leftovers in the freezer. Whereupon, she found that the freezer was already full of leftovers. It seems the man had stored his wife and his stepson in there.
The woman went to the police after discovering the 46-year-old woman and her 11-year-old son and officers arrested the man in the town of Verviers, near Liege in east Belgium, on Wednesday.
"She went to the freezer and that is what she saw. She then alerted the police," said Georges Lahaye of the local public prosecutors' office. Prosecutors want the suspect, aged 43, to be remanded in custody to allow more time for an investigation into the deaths.
Lahaye said the suspect had not made a confession. He added that the couple argued a lot.
We have no desire whatsoever to know what was on the menu at the party.

The awkward bit of time between her discovery of the bodies and her hasty-as-possible departure from the house (”No, no, I can’t stay. It’s been lovely but I must go.”) would offer a multitude of opportunities to a writer.

Re Menu: Gaius, he surely wasn’t serving peasant under glass was he? Nah…. couldn’t have been.

The thought crossed my mind. As to that awkward moment, Lars, think about the few moments it took the woman to realize what she was seeing in the freezer. And then having the presence of mind not to scream in horror.
Yep, a writer could have a real good time with this one!
