I was meandering through the old Spark files and found this little gem.

Interesting side note, this story reminded me of an incident that happened at the bank I work a few years ago. This girl came charging into the branch, sobbing, tears still crawling down her cheeks. In between violent fits of sobbing, she asked to withdraw some money and went on to explain that she had to buy a new mattress because she'd burned her old one after finding her now ex-boyfriend in it with another woman. Not wanting to sleep in the evidence of her ex's betrayal, she dragged it out into the backyard and set it AFLAME! We all managed to get her calmed down -- mostly by abusing her ex -- we even managed to get a laugh out of her. I still wonder if that new mattress worked out...
(This almost sounds like it should be a fic. Hmmm...)
Anyway, this fic reminded me of that surreal moment. Hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!
