One of them put an end to the marriage, until the other came back for revenge.

The swamp outside Tampa, late summer. A single galvanized bucket of bullheads circles the dock. Susan and her paramour lace the stew with puffer-fish toxin, leave it where the husband will find it. Midnight, they slip back to watch the body surface. Ten days later the husband reappears at her door, pale as creek water, grinning.
