.....Older people have a dark side also......
The Way up to Heaven
by Roald Dahl.
"The Way up to Heaven" is a shocking suspense, about an old couple with a few problems in their marriage. Mrs.Foster has always been worried about being late for about everything, and her husband Mr.Foster has always made it worse for her. Mrs. Foster decides to leave her elderly husband stuck in her house elevator for six weeks, with no food or water, while she go's on a vacation to go to Paris and see her daughter, and finally be free from her husband driving her insane. When the six weeks of freedom came to and end, at home she notices a strange smell but smiles anyway and calls a man to fix the elevator. there were many times she could have went back, but she never did. this story had no red herrings to confuse the reader it kept everything in line. when the investigators came to discover the reason for Mr.Fosters death, they couldn't place Mrs. Foster as the murderer. this story of a elderly couple was very messed up, to make it more interesting and it succeeded.
