Here is the opening paragraph of my next novel "Just and Equitable"



Chapter 1

The Affair

Be what you would seem to be - or, if you'd like it put more simply - never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be otherwise.  ~Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

14 February 2011
With a shout of ‘oh my god’, ‘how could you’, followed by ‘you fucking bitch’, ‘slut’, and ‘if I see that prick here again,’ and then running across the hallway, down the stairs his feet, usually light and nimble, now clumsy and struggling to get traction on the polished marble, more like a fish out of water then someone trying to run, arms flailing, leaving behind a trail of destruction as expensive china, vases and little ornaments met their end, a combination of anger and being out of control, Melvin fled the scene.

As his large right hand grabbed the front door handle and turned it with such force he ripped the brass knob clean off, but not before opening the ornate door far enough to get through and listen to the clang, clang, clang, of the knob as it rolled through the hallway, having been carelessly thrown over his shoulder as he took off and left chaos and destruction behind him. As he ran past the garage, his feet having regained some control, his arms having stopped waving, and his body more under control than a few minute earlier, he slowed down, his thoughts racing a million miles an hour horrified at the scene just witnessed.

What had just happened? Had that really been…., no he could not bare to relive the image. How could she, that bitch? His wife, his Melanie with Fred… and…and… in his bed and…? It beggared believe. And…and….and? What was he to make of it all? What should he do?


To be continued..........
