His wife, Lila, wants a more exciting life, though, and she conspires with big, handsome Howie to murder Andrew, casting it as a suicide. After the deed is done, Howie and Lila are walking through town and Lila spies a monkey in a pet store. On a lark, they buy it and bring it home. As time wears on, Howie starts discovering proof that Lila is cheating on him. It all comes to a head when an enraged Howie murders Lila and is carted off to jail. The story ends with the monkey sitting in a chair, smoking a pipe, and reading poetry.
