Dillon's Story

Dillon's Story

Dillon was age 27 and had been married since age 21. His wife Jezebel was also age 27. They had no children yet but had been trying. They lived in the city in a small house, 2 bedroom and 2 baths. He had recently paid off the mortgage by working 8 hours of overtime every week over the years and applying that to the principal. The house was no mansion and it was only in the middle class area but at least it was paid for. Jezebel was saying they needed a better place and Dillon assured her that it was just a “starter” house and as he earned more, they would upgrade to a bigger place in a more affluent area. He worked at a food warehouse while she is a stay at home wife. She was the envy of her friends, not having to work and owning their own home free and clear at their age. He worked hard at the warehouse as an order filler which meant he picked the cases of food and stacked them on a pallet to be shipped to the store. He lifted tons of food every day so he was very muscular from that.

While he worked, Jezebel often volunteered at different charities and church ministries. The church they attended was a big church with 20,000 members and Jezebel had been the one to pick it. They were a “progressive” church having several preachers that liked others of the same sex, some didn't know what gender they were and some were women. It was a fast growing church because of their policies and the preachers taught the health and wealth gospel, so people flocked in. Everyone wanted to be part of that successful church.

Dillon's parents and his sister lived in the same city. Jezebel's parents also lived in the same city, she was an only child. Everyone would meet at church on Sunday for the hour long service, then networking after the service and then gather for an afternoon of the men watching the sports on TV and the women gossiping. None of them paid any attention to any news, it was too “depressing” and of no concern to them.

Every day Dillon tells his wife Jezebel how much he loves her and how beautiful she is. As he walks by her, he always caresses her hair or cheek. He often buys her flowers and other gifts. With Dillon having worked at the food warehouse since he turned 18, he is well known there. Every year the company holds a large dinner for all the employees. 4 years ago at the dinner, they both see a guy there named Chad, Dillon tells his wife that he is a womanizing bad boy. The women were all over him and at work during breaks or lunch, both single and married women were hanging around him vying for his attention. At the warehouse there were 100 women working there and he had 3 of them pregnant at the same time and the women were still chasing after him for his attention. Dillon had no idea what women saw in him. Jezebel said she detested men like that, how could all those women hanging around him actually like him, had they no shame? Dillon was so happy that he married such a great woman with morals as his wife Jezebel.

Dillon had an old 1975 Ford Pinto for driving to work. It was cheap on gas and even though it had a bad reputation, it served his needs for transportation to work. He had bought a new 2023 Honda SUV for their use outside of work but Jezebel had basically claimed it as her own. He still had $40,000 to pay on the loan for it, probably 2 more years of payment since the house was now paid off and he could apply the old mortgage money to the SUV. He was getting a $1 an hour pay raise at work which would help out. He had a good health insurance plan at work with the company paying ½ the cost.

Dillon took Jezebel out on a date night at least once a week, to woo her like before they were married. They also had takeout 3 nights a week, 2 nights a week they “cooked” at home which consisted of popping some frozen meals into the microwave. Sunday's meal was BBQ that the men made on the grill in the backyard, usually hamburgers, hot dogs, etc. Something easy and quick. Every year Dillon took her on a 1 week vacation to the Bahamas.

One evening they went shopping at the mall, rather Jezebel went shopping and dragged Dillon along to carry the bags and pay for the purchases. On the way home he stopped for gas. Inside he picked up some sandwiches and paid for the gas. The overhead screen showed the night's lottery was up to $10,000,000. He had the employee behind the counter do a computer generated number ticket. His wife laughed at him for buying a ticket, she reminded him that the odds of winning were astronomical and that he had bought tickets before and never won a single dollar. Dillon thought “oh well” he spent more than the cost of the ticket every day at work on coffee.

oh I see trouble ahead; make that TROUBLE!!!!

[gipsy]

Keep going please

[cashless1]

If it starts with the Lottery, it can't end well.

[223shootersc]

The lottery could be a problem, having a wife named Jezebel is where the bell starts ringing for me. But, what do I know?

[feralferret]

Iamnobody, thank you for the new story. Moar, please.

Later that evening they were laying in bed watching TV, a Hallmark romance movie on the Hallmark Channel. A romance story about some man following his “true love” as she moved around the country and worked her way up the corporate ladder and her having different boyfriends over the years while she kept the man in the background and she finally sees the light that the “good man” was standing right behind her the whole time and they live happily ever after. Anyways, the daily lottery numbers were being drawn for the $10,000,000. Dillon got out of bed and fumbled with his pants hanging over a chair near the bed, finally getting his wallet out. He pulled the ticket out and brought it with him, sat on the edge of the bed as he compared the numbers on the ticket to the ones on the TV screen. She told him to at least put on his underwear so that he didn't dirty the bedspread with his naked backside. Jezebel told him that she was right, he wasted the money again on a stupid ticket.

As Dillon sat there not saying anything, she asked him if he was too stupid to at least apologize to her for wasting the money. Finally he looks at her and in a faint voice she barely hears and says “we won.” She grabs the ticket out of his hands, almost tearing it, checks the numbers twice and then yells “I am rich!” Dillon said that we are rich and she said he was right. She asked him when would they get the money so that she could start buying things. He told her it would be best to find a lawyer to represent them getting the winnings and not tell anyone. That also it would be wise to invest most of the money and earn interest.

They went to bed and he tried cuddling but she said she was too stressed from winning to do that. The next morning he got up and went to work like normal. He wouldn't believe the money was theirs until it was in their hands or rather in their bank account. He spent his break times doing searches for a lawyer to represent them. That evening the news had it that there was only 1 winning ticket, they were the only winner. He tried his normal caressing her hair or cheek in passing but she told him he was being too clingy and touchy with her and she didn't like it. Over the next 2 days he continued looking for a lawyer, finally finding one with good reviews. He scheduled a meeting for them the following Monday, he would need to schedule a day off work for the meeting.

Finally Monday rolled around. Dillon had spent his time checking out different investment ideas while Jezebel was on the computer looking up all kinds of extravagant, expensive things. Monday at 1PM sharp found them sitting in the lawyer's office sipping lattes ready to listen to the lawyer. Jezebel jumped right in before the lawyer could say a word, asking how soon she could get her money.

The lawyer said it normally takes about 8 weeks from the day the ticket is submitted to the lottery officials, they will verify the numbers and ticket, then pay it via electronic transfer to their bank account. He told them there were 2 options, $10,000,000 in equal payments over 10 years which would mean a lower tax or take a cash option of $8,000,000 immediately and a bigger tax bite. They both started talking at the same time, Dillon saying the 10 year pay out and Jezebel saying the cash option. Jezebel looked at Dillon and said she wanted the money NOW, she wasn't waiting. After a moment Dillon shrugged and said the $8,000,000 then. Jezebel settled back and was smiling.

Back home Jezebel was already saying what she was going to buy. Dillon cautioned her not to go hog wild and to remember not to tell anyone. The next evening when he got home from work, the cleaning lady was just finishing up. He had hired a cleaning service years ago to come in once a week and clean the place so that she had an easier life. After the maid left, Jezebel told him they should get the maid to come in every day now. Also she told him that she had went to the doctor that morning and said she had female problems and was not to have any intimate relations with him for at least 8 weeks. She told Dillon that he should hire a woman to service his needs while she was indisposed. He vigorously shook his head no and said that he would never do that to her, that his vow to her was in sickness and health and he would wait til she was better.

8 weeks later to the day, they were sitting in the lawyer's office to finish the paperwork for the lottery winnings. They signed the papers and then watched as the electronic transfer took place and saw their bank account numbers reflect the amount. Dillon was in awe seeing the numbers in front of his eyes. Jezebel asked if every thing was finished and the lawyer said yes, that it was now all theirs. She smiled and said thank you. Then the lawyer's door opened and another lawyer walked in. The new lawyer said his name was Mr. Slick of Slick and Sleazeball Law Firm LLC and he was representing Ms. Jezebel in her divorce case against Dillon.

They say that 1 in 8 people have a STD - that's like playing Russian roulette.

They say that 3 STDs can be caught just by kissing.

They say 4 STDs are incurable.

The sad truth is  IF  I would ever become romantically involved with a woman again, I would require STD testing for both her and I before even kissing because you can't tell by looking at a woman (or man) whether they have a STD. And from what I am seeing in local women, that is a VERY big if.

In a fog of disbelief, Dillon left the lawyer's office and took an Uber to his parent's home because they had driven the SUV and she had taken that when she left. At his parent's he tried explaining what had happened but both his mom and dad told him to shut up. Jezebel had told them how abusive he was and filed for divorce. They told him he couldn't stay there, they weren't tolerating an abuser like him. His sister screamed at him that he was an abuser, she no longer considered him as her brother. He tried using his debit card to pay for a cheap motel but it was declined, no longer valid. The same with a credit card. Jezebel on her lawyer's recommendation had moved the money and canceled all cards. He searched through his jacket in the pile of clothes she had delivered to his parents. He had kept money in the pocket that he used to buy her flowers and other presents, how ironic.

She had sent the Pinto with his clothes packed inside. The next day when he got to work, he changed his paycheck deposit to a different bank and took her off his life insurance and other benefits through the company. He couldn't change the health insurance without a divorce judgment. Throughout the shift he saw Chad and all the women hanging around him wanting his attention. Asking himself how a guy like that gets the women.

The court hearing for his divorce was within 5 weeks. He was there with a lawyer he was able to afford. His lawyer had told him up front that the judge hearing the case was very liberal and always ruled in favor of the “poor abused” wife. Also the Slick / Sleazeball law firm were just like their name and got the wife huge settlements. Of course there was a policeman standing at Dillon's side because of the restraining order, to prevent him from trying to attack Jezebel. They even had his right hand cuffed to the table as an added safety precaution. She sat there in the hearing with her lawyer Mr Slick. She was smirking at Dillon across the tables during the whole hearing.

Well, as his lawyer said, she basically got everything. She got the house and the new SUV. She had even wanted the Pinto too but the judge did refuse her that. But then the judge ruled on the finances.

The judge awarded the lottery winnings split with Dillon paying all the taxes owed on it.
$8,000,000 minus 30% tax = $5,600,000 left.
But the judge awarded her the full $4,000,000 as her ½ of it, leaving him $1,600,000.
Then the judge awards her ½ of that because she by law was entitled to it in a divorce.
Then the judge orders Dillon to pay the court costs, also his and her lawyer fees which was another $50,000 – leaving him with $750,000.
He ended up losing 90% of the winnings, it was almost to the point that he would of ended up owing money on the winnings.

On her way out of the court room, she told the policeman not to free him til she left the courthouse because she feared him trying to attack her. So Dillon had to sit there 30 minutes after the hearing before his hand was freed. Everyone had left, the judge, secretary, even his lawyer. Then the policeman took the cuff off him and warned him not to go near Jezebel, that he despised abusers and he would be keeping an eye on Dillon.

The next day he went back to his job. He showed the people in the personnel office his official divorce papers and had Jezebel removed from his health insurance. All during the shift he kept seeing Chad looking his way and smirking. The next day was a repeat, he couldn't figure it out. The 3rd day everyone at work was laughing when they thought he wasn't looking. Finally another guy told him to look at his ex wife's Facebook page. That evening when he got back to the cheap motel room, he checked her social media page.

It showed Jezebel and Chad all snuggled up to each other. They are laughing at him and rubbing it in his face that they are now a couple. She had been cheating with Chad behind Dillon's back since meeting him at the party years ago. Now he knows why Chad was always taking days off or leaving work early. Now they were living in the house he paid for, driving the new SUV and partying every night on the lottery winnings. Jezebel says that Dillon was just the “nice guy” she married to pay the bills. Now that she was divorced from a loser like him, she could get off birth control pills and have a baby with a real man like Chad. Dillon scheduled a STD test ASAP. The results came back a few days later and now he knew why Jezebel wanted no sex for 8 weeks. It took 3 shots in his bare backside to cure it. The needles felt like they was 2 feet long as they went in. They hurt!

All his so called friends ostracized him because he is an abuser and a loser. His parents side with ex wife, saying that he had to of been mean to her and she was entitled to what the judge gave her. The preachers at the church said Dillon was in the wrong and needed to repent of his sin. And also right away he needed to give the church his tithe of 10% of the $8,000,000 which would be $800,000. They accept checks but would prefer he pay with a debit card.

Dillon had enough. He quit his job, he cuts all contact with his so called family and so called friends and the church – he never wanted anything more to do with them.

He learned the saying was true:
She's not yours, it was just your turn to be with her.

[feralferret]

Too close to reality in so many ways, unfortunately.

Thank you for the story.

Dillon sat in his motel room every day for several weeks, stewing in his misery. Why did this happen to him? He had treated his wife with respect and took care of her. Then she divorces him for money and claims false abuse charges against him. Then his family, friends and co workers believe it to. There was no proof against him, just her say so and now he was the bad guy. And she had been committing adultery for years. His days and evenings consisted of Twinkies, Nachos and Mountain Dew. Followed by nights of tossing and turning in fitful sleep. The only time he left the room was for a short time each day for housekeeping to clean the room. He grabbed his junk food during that time and then back into the room.

After several weeks his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and saw it was Granny. That was Granny from his dad's side. She called and talked with him every several months. He answered the call and caught her up to date on what happened. When she found out he was out of work and living in a cheap motel room, she offered for him to come live with her in exchange for him to do chores around the place. Dillon knew she lived way back in the Appalachia at the end of a long dirt road. Among the family she was known as Crazy Granny because of the way she lived and her beliefs. He told her he would think about it and they ended the call.

He did think about it. She didn't automatically think he was the bad guy and right now his life was going nowhere. She was age 80 and lived in an old 1960 mobile home on a piece of land. Her husband had died several years ago at age 83 in an accident when he was cutting a tree for firewood. Dillon had never actually been to Granny's place but he calls her up and agrees because he is tired of all the drama of his ex wife and parents. Maybe if he distanced himself from them and the area, things would get better.

What few things he had were still in the Pinto. Gassed up and driving down the highway he looked like many other down on his luck person heading who knew where. The easy part was the highway, then off onto secondary roads that slowed him down. The last gas station and convenience store in the small town was 20 miles behind him. He was on the last leg of his trip, it was a 10 mile long dirt road that was barely wide enough for a vehicle on it. Looking out the window at the passing scenery, he saw rundown homes with old cars and trucks setting in the yards.

When he arrived at Granny's, he had passed the last neighbor 2 miles back. Her place was the last 1 at the end of this dirt road. A few times he had to do some serious navigating around ruts in the road or risk knocking something loose under the car. There was an old woman sitting on a rocker on the porch waving at him. He saw an old 1960 mobile home with some fields around it that needed tended. Weeds and a few small bushes were growing in them. He got out of the car, asking himself of what he had got himself into and this was definitely a change of things for him. She gave him a hug, surprising him at the strength of her arms. She invited him inside.

The inside was like stepping into one of those old hillbilly sitcoms he had seen on TV. It was a 1 bedroom, 1 bath, a small living room and kitchen. She had a pot of pinto beans simmering on the stove and a pan of cornbread on the table. She ladled a bowl of beans into a bowl and put it on the table in front of him. Getting herself a bowlful, she sat down and bowed her head in thanksgiving to God. Dillon looked at the bowl of beans, seeing what looked like onions and maybe a piece of bacon in it. He cautiously tasted it, it wasn't his normal Twinkies but the flavor was good. Nibbling on a buttered chunk of cornbread, it was a whole new experience for him.

After the meal Granny took him outside to show him around and lock the livestock in their pens for the night. Dillon followed her around, watching as she put 3 chickens into the coop and lock the door. Then over for a last feeding of a pig in its pen. Looking around she told him that this place used to be a thriving homestead complete with cows, beef, hogs, fields and garden. Now with her husband gone and her age, she wasn't able to keep up with things. That if he wanted to stay until he sorted his life out he could, he would sleep on the couch and do chores for her. Dillon had never seen country life before except for movies. Now he was going to live it for awhile.

He again had a fitful night of sleep. Morning came all too soon and Granny was up. He looked at his watch and saw it was 5:30AM and the windows showed a tinge of daylight on the horizon. He groaned as he sat up, saying this was too early for him. Granny laughed and said “come on, daylight's a wasting.” A trip to the bathroom and then she grabbed his arm and dragged him outside. She had him open the chicken coop door to let the chickens out. Then he had to mix up the “slop” to feed the pig. “Slop” was a blend of bagged feed and water to make a mushy oatmeal blend. She also threw in some kitchen scraps leftover from supper the night before. He poured it into the pig trough and the pig sure seemed to like it. Then inside where she made some oatmeal for breakfast.

Finished they were sitting outside on the porch steps with cups of hot tea. He was just staring off into space and she asked what was wrong. He just kept staring at nothing. Granny said she knew he didn't get a good night's rest. She heard him tossing and turning all night and him mumbling. She asked if it was because of “that adulterous harlot.” He jolted at her using those words but then realized she was right. It was adultery, no matter whether a woman or a man did it. He slowly shook his head yes and then said that he keeps wondering what he did wrong to make her be unfaithful and what was wrong with him that caused her to do it? What is wrong with him that his wife would toss him aside in favor of the bad boy sleazeball? He had treated her the best he could and it meant nothing to her. She had been with a scumbag man for years. And now he was divorced, labeled as an abuser and had lost all those millions and out of a job and that she was the only person who didn't turn him out.

Granny said that she remembered him saying about attending a church over the years, she was getting her bible to show him some things. The 1st thing she showed him was about Eve not being satisfied with being in paradise. She listened to the serpent “Satan / the bad boy” that she could do better. She wasn't happy with a husband, everything being perfect and God talking with Adam every day.

Then she showed him this in the bible:
Proverbs 31:10-12 KJV

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, So that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. 

Granny points out that God says “who can find” meaning that a good woman is hard to find, that there are a lot of bad women out there, that a man may have a wife but that doesn't mean she is a virtuous woman. With her age she had seen a lot of women that had did dirt to their husbands with disrespect and adultery, and also men that were evil to their wife. She said adultery, infidelity and other names for it are listed many times in the bible so it has always been a problem since mankind started. It was not a new thing. He said he had never heard of any of this preached in the church he had went to for years. She said that sadly most churches do not preach God's word anymore. Nothing is sin and everyone gets to go to Heaven. She said she had an extra KJV bible he could have to read himself.

She went on to say that concerning his loneliness, look in the bible about Joseph before he became the Pharaoh's 2nd in command and how he was sold by his brothers into slavery, then accused of “attacking” his master's wife and thrown into prison. Also the story about Job in the bible, how he lost everything to Satan, his wife and friends turned against him. And not to forget the verse:

Mathew 10:25 KJV - And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 

His own wife and his parents had betrayed him. Granny told him that she believed that he was not guilty of abusing Jezebel. That accusing the husband or boyfriend of physical abuse was one of the oldest and most used tricks in the book that women use against their exes. Sure, there were dirtball men that did abuse their wife and deserved the punishment they got but there should be proof it was done, not just a say so.

As for losing all that money, yeah, that stank and he was basically robbed by her and the court system. But she points out that he still has $750,000 and considering that most people in the country on average, only gross 1-2 million dollars during a lifetime of work, and that was before taxes were taken out. So if he didn't spend it on expensive worthless baubles, he had at least 30+ years of money to live on. She let that sink into his brain and then asked him if he had noticed that lately there had been a lot of lotteries worth 100's of millions of dollars and even several that were in the billions? That it seems to happen right around the time the government needs people distracted from other things that were happening?

Dillon sat there and thought about it. Come to think of it, Granny was right, there were a lot of huge lotteries lately. But why would the government want to distract people and what would they want people distracted from? She said that the government was not there to take care of the people but to rule over the people. He sat there thinking, maybe Crazy Granny wasn't so crazy after all.

Gotta love Granny!

Thanks for the new chapter.

Dillon had showed up at Granny's in late July. His parents and ex had heard that he was living with Crazy Granny and they made fun of him on social media for sinking so low and living with a crazy person and as a backwoods hick. For 2 weeks he was dragging every morning. Granny had them in bed by 10PM when it was dark but she also had them up by 5-5:30AM when it was light out. By the 3rd week he was getting used to the routine. In the morning it was tending the chickens and pig, followed by a quick breakfast and then a cup of tea on the porch. The porch time tea was served with lots of talk with Granny.

Slowly Dillon was seeing what Granny was talking about. Most of it was the complete opposite of what he had been taught in his life. Public school, his parents, church, corporations – Granny was showing him in the bible that what they were teaching people was contrary to what God said was right. Dillon was dumbfounded at what he was learning and couldn't believe he had so easily believed the lies. Granny told him even when shown the truth, most people would rather believe the lie. At nights he would read the bible on his own and then would have many questions for Granny.

During the day it would be working in the garden or making repairs on the trailer. There was a lot of work to do. He re-tarred the roof, cleaned windows, fixed the skirting around the bottom, fixed metal siding that was coming loose. Then he was using an old chainsaw to cut down bushes and trees that had started growing up in the fields. The chicken coop and pig pen were cleaned out. The bedding and manure were placed on the area that Granny was planning on expanding on her garden plot. He worked on the old tractor she had. Also the old flatbed truck with the removable side pieces on the bed which allowed it to carry loads. Mostly it was a matter of changing the oil, putting in new gas, charging the batteries and then a shot of Ether in the carburetor.

About 2 weeks into his stay with her, he started feeling physically sick. He couldn't figure out where he would of got sick. She was healthy and he hadn't been at any stores to encounter any sick people. Granny said it was from eating her healthy food, his body was detoxing from all the toxins from junk food in his body. That he would have flu like symptoms for a few days while the poisons were leaving his body. That passed in a few days and he was feeling better.

Then she told him it was time to get rid of the worms and parasites in his body. He laughed and said he didn't have any worms, he always washed his hands and etc. She laughed and told him he shouldn't resist drinking the tea she had made for him then, holding a cup out to him. He asked what was in it, wormwood and walnut tincture. She said she put some honey in it to make it easier to drink. He looked at it, smelled it, then chugged it down with a laugh. He drinks the wormer tea morning and evening for 3 days, each day telling her that he had no worms. The 4th day he comes in from using the outhouse, while out there when he was finished with his business, he had seen several 6 inch long tapeworms. When he came in, she saw his face and chuckled then saying that the vast majority of people had worms no matter how clean they were, they just didn't know it. She said that is why people felt so rundown and “lifeless” a lot. Most doctors wouldn't mention it because the patient would leave and never do business with them again.

He talks with her about going to town with him and he would buy her food. He starts listing off some things and she stops him, saying “why would I want all those fake foods.” He looked at her and asked what she meant by them being fake foods. She said most food nowadays listed in the ingredients said “bio engineered.” That if she wanted fake food, she would become a Star Trekkie and eat from a food replicator. She asked if he hadn't noticed he felt healthier and more full after eating her meals. That he wasn't so quickly feeling hungry because the food was real and not that fake bio engineered garbage.

 oh so true, keep going
