How I DIDN'T kill Herman Mildew



Donuts are the silent killer. No really, they are. I’ve seen it happen. This one time, I was getting some Dunkin and this one guy started choking. We couldn’t get to him in time. It was very tragic. Another time, I heard this one story of this one dude who choked on the cap of an eye drops bottle. Herman Mildew always used eye drops; maybe that’s how he died. But I didn’t kill him. Or at least never got the chance to. Maybe he swallowed a toothpick or crashed his really expensive black convertible after a bird flew into his face. It happens. Maybe he was trying to be cool like his homies and snorted Epsom salts. Or Smell-goods as the people on the street call them. You know I heard this one story of this woman who committed suicide, but she ended up landing on top of this guy. Killed the guy. She survived. Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe that’s how he was killed. You know my brother’s friend’s friend’s friend tried heating up a lava lamp on his stove and it exploded. Just like that. Lava juice EVERYWHERE. He died instantly.

            You know, Herman always had this really bizarre fear of sheep, so who knows? Maybe he was mauled by a group of angry sheep. Baa-ing at him, attacking him. These things happen. Maybe he was going for a nice walk through the park, whistling show tunes to himself, but was suddenly attacked by a flying squirrel. Those bastards come out of nowhere. Let me tell you. They’re hardcore. I didn’t even know flying squirrels existed until I got hooked on Animal Planet. Seriously the animals they find on that show. Wow. Maybe one day they’ll find a mix between a pig and a fish and call it Baconius. I don’t know. Maybe he was spontaneously in the mood to drink something with a bendy straw. Those freaking things are hazardous. So maybe he got so excited, stuck the straw too far in his mouth and choked. That happened to my best friend once. She didn’t die, but she was never quite the same. He used to go to the Hershey factory on weekends, and he used to talk about this tour where the workers would take the group up really high and they could look down at the massive bowls of chocolate. Maybe he went up there and got too caught up in the chocolate-y goodness, leaned over the railing too far and fell in. I bet he watched Twilight too many times and died because of its horrible acting and plot.  He used to say that it was a romantic story filled with romance. This statement was followed by #YOLO. Now you understand even more why I wanted to kill him.

Yeah, sure, maybe I wanted him to die. He was obnoxious; he never liked any of my work. Did I mention that one time he tried to sneak into my house to steal my wax figure of Doctor Who? Specifically, the tenth doctor. He literally climbed through the window, but because he was so fat, he got stuck. I had to help him out. Don’t worry; he never got my Doctor Who figure. The dude was evil and weird, but would I kill him? Of course I would. Did I ever get the chance? Of course. Did I ever plan to? YES. But did I? No. Because I have moral values. I’m a good person.
