A young man goes to his mailbox and finds an airmail letter from his girlfriend, vacationing in Spain. His face goes blank when he realizes he’s been dumped. Despondent, he goes to the store to buy the equipment necessary to kill himself. He considers shooting himself, then poisoning himself, then electrocution. He returns home, ready to act. After some last minute soul searching, he plugs one end of an extension cord into the kitchen wall and another end into the toaster. He walks toward the bathroom. Time seems to stand still as he makes his last, long walk. But when he finally gets to his destination, he magically manages to kill his now ex-girlfriend rather than himself.
