“I’ve heard of Jews swallowing valuables during World War II,” Jill said, indicating the x-rays displayed on the light boards, “but I’ve never actually seen it done.”

“Yeah,” Leon sighed, “the husband wanted to pawn her wedding ring to pay some gambling debts. She refused and swallowed it. So he beat her to death with a tire iron and calls it a crime of passion.”

“Sounds more like greed to me,” Jill snorted, shaking her head. “Why does it always boil down to money?”

“Because love may or may not conquer all,” Leon replied sourly, “But money rules the world.”

Cynical, but true! Great drabble.

Thanks. I'm cynical by nature... especially in anything to do with love.

[tigersilver.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Can't agree more, both with Leon and bluestocking!

Thanks!

Mmm, this made me think a lot. Is it the money, or the power and control you can buy with it?

Did he kill her for depriving him of money, or of that control?

*is probably thinking too much* ;D
