Synopsis for "Easel Kill Ya!"Edit

The man walked along in the rain to a bridge, a bridge he intended to jump from to his death at age 29. He was a lonely, unappreciated artist who was going to end it all when a car slammed into a barrier and from the crumpled wreck a woman staggered out. Inspired, he ran home to paint the scene, and later sold it to a wealthy man. But then the inspiration disappeared and he became forlorn again and began to walk the streets...until he saw another accident and he got inspiration to paint once again. And once more he sold it to the same gentleman, who wanted yet more of the sadistic scenes he painted. Then one day a beautiful girl knocked on his door, fixed her leaky pipes, and then used her to paint softer scenes. They fell in love and were going to be married, until he received a message saying she'd been critically injured in an accident, and it would cost $3000 for the operation that only one surgeon could perform. He went back to the bridge he'd nearly jumped from and horribly killed a man and painted the scene....but this time, the wealthy man wouldn't pay the price, so he killed him and took the money. Rushing to the hospital, he threw the money at them and demanded the operation be done. Unfortunately, the man the artist had brutally killed on the bridge was THAT doctor who was to perform the operation.....so the artist sat down, dejected, and waited for his true love's life to ebb away forever!

Finally one night, as she ate a peach, he killed her, buried her in the garden and destroyed all of her possessions, giving the impression she had left him. The problem was that she has swallowed the peach pit, and from that pit, a peach tree began to grow. Seven years passed by and finally the tree bore fruit.....Lt. Dolan came by the house, hoping to trap Lane into admitting the act he suspected him of. Then as they walked into the garden, Lane reached for a peach and bit into it....quickly spitting it out.
