More of Us to the West (Adrift #1)

by Trinity Dunn

“I waited. Two years after, Stephen Bass bought a gorgeous five-million-dollar house on Long Island right after he got engaged. And I paid a significant amount of money to a friend to drop off a few little packages for me.” I tilted my head. “Packages?” “Do you know what a milk-chicken bomb is?” I laughed. “No! But it sounds dreadful!” “It is. You take a glass jar and you stuff it with raw chicken and milk that’s already started to go bad. You fill that jar to the brim and you seal it. Then you stick it in the air ducts and you wait. Over time, after repeated exposure to heat and pressure, the glass will eventually break or the top will pop off. After that, every single time the heat kicks on, the most vile stench you’ll ever smell gets released throughout the entire house. It gets worse and worse until the home becomes unlivable.” She beamed innocently. “And poor Stephen Bass ended up having to sell that house far below what he paid for it just four short months later.” I curled over in laughter. “Oh Lilly, this is the greatest revenge story I’ve ever heard! Serves him right!”
