Blog Love Omega Glee: One Last Snowangel Before You Go (18 November 2012)

First, the maintenance man stole the snowblower.

Second, the landlord was too cheap to buy another one.

Third, the snow came back.

Fourth, the few remaining residents of the apartment building complained that the walks weren't shoveled.

Fifth, Joanne, the property manager, sick of the calls, got out a snow shovel, lit a cigarette, and started shoveling, starting with the sidewalk in the courtyard.

Sixth, her middle-aged heart gave out on her tiny frame.

Seventh, she fell backwards into the snow, her shovel stuck in one last drift, her body stuck in one last snowangel.

Eighth, it continued to snow.

Ninth, Chris kept calling the property manager's cell phone, complaining about the uncleared walks.

Tenth, after nothing was done, the other Chris called the landlord directly and complained, and they fought again about the lease.

Eleventh, the landlord dripped some more greed, but finally got his lazy ass over to the property where he found his manager buried in the snow.

Twelfth, he never told any of the residents, who for the next week kept calling the dead woman's cell phone.

Thirteenth, Chris called the landlord to complain about something else and was told that Joanne was dead.

Fourteenth, touched, she hung a sign announcing the tragedy in the lobby.

Fifteenth, someone crumpled up the sign and threw it in the corner.

Sixteenth, both Chrises tell Francine and Jake the story in Purgatory.

Seventeenth, the snow melted.

Eighteenth, someone somewhere is getting hired to work for a greedy shitforheart like the landlord.

Nineteenth, whenever he feels guilty, the landlord blames the property manager's death on cigarettes.

Twentieth, if we're lucky, hell exists, and someday the landlord will be there shoveling unending piles of shit in the middle of a shitstorm, while a demon runs a snowblower up his asshole.
