Plot[]
Debby, a housewife, often spent her days conversing with her confidante, Nancy Green, via telephone. Today, she recounted to her friend every humiliating aspect of her marital life, keeping herself entertained by moving about her residence throughout the call. When answering the door, she was surprised to find her swinger friend bearing a bouquet of flowers. What she doesn't realize, the phone's cord had wound itself around her neck in the process. Forgetting to shut the door completely, a gust of wind slammed it shut, pulling the cord taut and constricting her neck. After choking and an extended period of diminished blood flow, Debby dies, thus sending this bitch to hell.
