As he pulled into the drive, he sighed. It had been a long hard day. All he wanted was a nice, cold beer, to take his shoes off and fire gaze in front of the TV for an hour or two.1
Knowing she would still be at work and the kids were away on holidays, it would be perfect.2
He got out of the car and slowly walked up to the front door. Looked at the mailbox and thought “ Nah. She can check that later”3
He walked into the house and headed straight for the kitchen. 4
“Nice,” he thought, “quiet and peaceful.”5
He went straight to the fridge and pulled out two beers.6
He turned around to look out the window7
“Sunsets are so great here.” He thought8
Then he saw it, just lying there on the kitchen table.9
“What the hell was this doing here?” he mumbled to himself10
He was sure he had put it away the night before.11
He sat down at the table and tried to recollect the night before.12
They had argued. Nothing unusual. They argued all the time.13
This one had been a bit more physical though. They had both pushed and shoved.14
She had slapped him and he had run after her through the house.15
Yelling and screaming at each other.16
The neighbours would have once again closed their windows and blinds pretending to hear or see nothing.17
He had chased her into the bedroom. He remembered telling her he was going to do it this time. She had screamed. Lashed out at him as he threw her onto the bed. Her nails had dug in hard. Once his arm came to close to her mouth and she had sunk her teeth into his skin making it bleed.18
Her clothes had been ripped from her. Tears had welled in her eyes. And a soft plea had come from her lips. “No. Please. Don’t do it. You love me.”19
He held her down. Binding her arms to the bed post. Avoiding the lashes from her legs. He had managed to bind her feet to the legs of the bed. But not before he had copped a foot in his face.20
And then 21
As he sat there he remembered what he had done and why this was in the kitchen.22
“Oh my God.” He thought.23
He picked it up and ran into the bedroom.24
His body was shaking 25
How could he have done this.26
She was there. Still tied to the bed. Her body was not moving.27
He went over to her leaned in close, still holding it in his hand.28
As he bent forward to her, 29
Her eyes opened.30
She licked her swollen lips.31
And softly asked. “Did you replace the batteries?”32

This is really entertaining ... A tale with a difference. Reading it I thought, Oh yeah, another blood and guts story, but no, it was one with a great twist at the end.
Bravo!
Good luck in the contest,
