Daily Drabble – Lawyer

When He moved his mistress in he threw his wife into the gutter with a broken wrist and the clothes on her back.
But He miscalculated, and she used her secret savings account to hire herself a lawyer. Who skinned His ass.
He retaliated with the oldest lie of all.
‘Heiress sleeping with lawyer’ – the headlines screamed.
She didn’t care. Truthfully, if it had been a possibility, the chiselled beauty of her barrister troubled her dreams now and then.
But. It was an impossibility – him being constructed of plasteel and wire with a computer inside his head. And no penis.
