Hope you don't mind that this story made me giggle, kgr - the image of the neighbourhood men chasing down an escaped cult sacrifice! Just an average weekday afternoon, eh?
You're obviously 100% justified in your anger against your ignorant racist neighbours. Horrible to realise that some parts of your community make assumptions about your husband. But you were also 100% brilliant not to let that anger lead you to drink - that would've been a win for them, in a way.
But we're all waiting to hear... What's happened to the goat?!
