I don't have a good excuse

When I was 17/18, I met a guy named Teddie via mutual friends.  We hung out together in group situations and we made out a few times.

I moved to Knoxville and didn't see him again.

3 years ago, he shows up at the bar I work at. We talk, he knows a lot of the bar regulars, all is seemingly well.

He comes into the bar a few times over the next couple of years.

This past August, Mindy and I are just hanging out on our couch. I glance over to see Mindy reading the local news. "Wait, I know that guy. What did he do?"















He beat his ex stepdad and his new bride to death with a hammer. Then, he set their house on fire to destroy the evidence.He did this to get their pills and some money.

I have made out with a murderer. What the hell guys?

In my defense, he was way cuter when we were younger. He had cute, long hair and was very fun.

I felt so dirty for a month after this. Gross.

    4. I'm pretty sure you can also catch gay, so that would have been a fun swap.

  2. Very scary. I suppose he was nicer then too. It's amazing the changes people go through over time.

    1. It was and still is really weird. Drugs make people do stupid things.

    1. The last time I saw him was like 2 months before this happened. Totally normal. Now I question everyone I know's sanity.

  4. All is not bad. Maybe this is where your love of taxidermy started...?

  6. I know a few felons, but no murderers. That I know of...maybe I should read the local paper more often, just to be sure.

    1. Google the 24 hour arrest list for your area. Mindy and I check ours all the time.

  7. He was married? Of course, all the good ones are taken. Well, I suppose, actually, that it has been taken care of. Sign me up!

    1. He is married and has a kid. I have no idea what happened in his life to make him do something so horrible.
