A man convinces his son to help him in murdering his wife after she proposes moving off the family homestead. The story is distilled, pure, [[It Gets Worse]].
Line 12 ⟶ 27:
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: Wilfred uses this to explain how murdering someone is an act of good. To elaborate, they're murdering the wife because, in his eyes, she's a terrible person and a sinner. Thus, by killing her before she can redeem herself, it gets her into Heaven automatically because she was never given the chance.
* [[Swarm of Rats]] - And how.
* [[Shout
* [[Teen Pregnancy]] - Wilfred's son gets the neighbor's daughter pregnant. It doesn't go well. For anyone.
* [[Trauma Conga Line]]
* [[Unreliable Narrator]] - Perhaps.
After being violated and left for dead, a mystery writer uses her detective skills and plots her revenge.
Line 28 ⟶ 43:
* [[Scary Librarian]] - {{spoiler|Ramona, who deliberately sent Tess off the beaten path so she would get raped and murdered by her son.}}
A man makes a [[Deal
* [[Asshole Victim]] - Played with. The reader is made to hate Tom Goodhugh, (he stole Dave's girlfriend, got rich off an idea that Dave helped implement, etc) but it's hard not to feel sorry for him when his life turns to shit.
Line 39 ⟶ 54:
* [[Trauma Conga Line]] - Tom Goodhugh's life after Dave's deal.
A middle-aged wife discovers that her husband is hiding a dark secret.
Line 52 ⟶ 67:
