Black Stories II ~ Case 33: Cursed Vacation

[Spidere]

But crash test dummies do not sleep.

They're sleeping all the time!

[Thaws]

Did the person fill the car with cement for:
retaliation?
entertainment?
losing a bet?

Is how that person didn't see the man inside the car relevant?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Was this man a crash dummy?

Hm, metaphors, eh? Unfortunately, NO.

Did the person fill the car with cement for:
retaliation?

YES

entertainment?

NO

losing a bet?

NO

Is how that person didn't see the man inside the car relevant?

NO

[Edible]

Revenge for parking in front of someone's house?

[Thaws]

NO-WAY-THIS-WILL-BE-CORRECT THEORY: A construction worker(uhh is this the occupation of the people who pave roads, etc?) has just finished smoothing the still not dry concrete floor when some guy drove his car pass by, ruining his work. The worker is so angry he poured cement into his car when he saw him park his car after he smoothed the floor again, not aware that the man's still inside.

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Revenge for parking in front of someone's house?

I'd say NO, as the parking itself is not the reason. It has to do with 'in front of someone's house', though

NO-WAY-THIS-WILL-BE-CORRECT

YES  :V
This theory was completely off, sorry. Well, except for the man being a construction worker/ cement mixer driver, but you already knew that.

[E-Nazrin]

Was it retaliation for financial reasons? Sexual/romantic? Jealousy? Factional (political parties, generalized social classes, etc)? Other social factors (angry coworker, spurned friend, upset neighbor, etc)? Or not relevant?

[Dead Princess Sakana]

Sexual/romantic?

YES

Jealousy?
Factional (political parties, generalized social classes, etc)?
Other social factors (angry coworker, spurned friend, upset neighbor, etc)?
Or not relevant?
Was it retaliation for financial reasons?

NO, NO, NO, NO and NO

[E-Nazrin]

A man seduced/won/stole/whatever a construction worker's crush/wife/girlfriend, who wanted to retaliate: When he saw his car parked on the side of the road, he took the opportunity to fill it with cement. He didn't realize that the owner was still inside, though it's debatable whether he cared.

[Dead Princess Sakana]
