~The Gossip by Mark Tulin~
Mel knew that Larry was a gossip. Up until now, Mel thought Larry’s blabbering was innocent. But everything changed once Mel became the subject of Larry’s malicious rumors.
“I thought I told you not to tell anyone about my triple-bypass, Larry. That’s private.”
“Oh, sorry, Mel. I thought it was common knowledge.”
The next day, Mel discovered that Larry had spread rumors that he was having marital problems.
Mel was furious.
Dave, another notorious gossip, asked Mel if it were true that Larry had erectile dysfunction.
Mel pondered the tantalizing question for a moment but knew that revenge wouldn’t be sweet.
