Tim.

"Hey, child molester. I'm just here to warn you. I've heard Megan has moved into the area. You better leave your fingers off her, understand?"

"Or what?"

"Or... well... I'm a lot smarter than you. I will make your life hell. Everybody still suspects you anyway. It will be easy to forge some eviden... Oh, hi Megan, honey. Good to see you." Amazing. He had changed his tone in mid-sentence from unsuccessfully trying to sound menacing to overly corny.

"Tim, what kind of nonsense are you babbling here? Forge evidences? Well, I almost hope you're dumb enough to do it, so you find your ugly ass in prison quickly. And by the way - I'm not your honey. Never was, never will be. Stop dreaming."

"Come on, we're engaged."

"Yeah, I´ll soon be engaged to kick your balls, slime ball."

"Megan... honey..."

"Tim, I think nobody gives a shit about your little schemes any more. Or about you," I said. "Maybe it´s a good idea if you leave now. Quickly. Permanently."

"Ah, our old child abuser has something to contribute." To my surprise, he took up a threatening stance. I mean, he was maybe 5´10" and his most notable sports activity was lifting a ring binder. I was well over 6´ and would have had no problem to clean his clock thoroughly. "So come on, big man, let's fight over her. You're too soft and wimpy for it. Face it, Curt."

"Megan?"

"I don't care about the little shit. I won´t object if you beat him to a bloody pulp. Hell, I´d probably even applaud and take some pictures."

Tim looked at her incredulously, as if awakening from a long dream. Which was probably quite close to the truth. Then he just turned and ran down my driveway, not omitting to stumble and fall once for our entertainment.

We both laughed.

"Well, that was sure some nice evening entertainment," Megan remarked.

"Yeah, who'd have thought that the little shit was good for something in the end?"

We turned around, closed the door and closed this unfortunate chapter of our lives in silence.

That was five years ago. I proposed Megan three months after they moved into my house while Lara was present. It nearly took her breath away. Both of my girls were testing new waterworks productivity limits afterwards. And it was no real surprise that Megan accepted. Well, she did when she was finally able to talk again. Which was preceded by rigorous nodding. It was a scene I would never forget and quite moving too.

We got married in a small ceremony with Karen and Lara as witnesses. And yes, Alan, Jane and my parents were present. We had finally re-connected. Neither of us had ever heard of Tim again, luckily.

And let me tell you - my life was a dream afterwards. We traveled a lot. Sometimes we took Karen with us until she got engaged to a nice guy and was too busy to accompany us. Sometimes we took Lara with us, sometimes both. Sometimes we traveled alone.

I think what counts is the end result. I live with the only woman I love and that loves me. Okay, her behavior will never be forgotten. But why should the past stop me from having a happy future?

A little difficult to like a story where everybody is a piece of shit. Well, Karen excepted.

Considering how obvious it was that he actually was there as a plumber, it wouldn’t just be lawsuits against the media. He would have a case against the police for wrongful arrest, and against the prosecutors for malicious prosecution. By the time his lawyers were done, the residents of that county would be looking at increased taxes for twenty years to cover the payments.

I would have stayed in the town, and used my money to make everyone’s life HELL!!! Tim would be tortured until he went insane, and then left crippled in front of the hospital. His so called family and friends would be manipulated into losing jobs, homes, and all support. I want them slowly starving under a bridge! The idiot police lose their jobs, and possibly go to prison. Back a candidate to run against the prosecutor in the next election. The pretty news anchor who sneered at him, is now begging to do ANYTHING to keep her job since he bought the local television station.

You decided that I’m evil, so I’m going to be evil to you. Just not the way you falsely accused me.

Yeah, I can't swallow this. If something like this happened to ANYONE I cared about, not to mentioned loved- esp my spouse- I would at the VERY least hear them out completely. Sadly for this MC, the past will taint his future. How can it not?

Ok, I know the police can be really incompetent and biased against an innocent person but checking his phone logs, the time he received the call for the plumbing Emergency, and the time of the last job that he had been on that day, should have clued in the Police to the accuracy and veracity of his claim that he was just the plumber. That in itself should’ve given him more credibility and the police should’ve done further investigation. He should never have been left rotting in jail for many months.

So, I had an uncle once that was arrested for this kind of crime and pretty much just like the people in this story, including his own parents and children, they more or less disowned him. The difference, I guess, is that he was guilty so no one felt bad about it. However, in this case - I don't know. It's complicated. I'd imagine if I was in Megan's shoes here - she's horrified by what everyone is saying her husband has done, everyone in her community is taunting her and treating her like a criminal, her daughter is being bullied at school, etc. It has to be traumatizing and the natural response would be exactly like the one she had and the one my family had - cut all ties as soon as possible. However, in Megan's case - she finds out later it was all a lie and everyone ELSE gets to go back to their lives as normal, except for her and Curt and their daughter. That's pretty brutal. In this way, I think her feeling of powerlessness at that point would be identical the feeling Curt had in prison. Sure, there are differences in the circumstances, but that feeling of loss would be almost the same. Personally I think this is a good theme and a good story, the only problem I have with it is the same problem I have with a lot of this guys stories - he can't write dialog to save his life. I'm guessing he might be a foreign language speaker or something based on the way he constructs his sentences to convey concise meaning, but without any of the accoutrements that people normally put in their phrasing which give it personality, subtleness, hidden context, etc. Still, a good story 5/5
