Throw Momma from the Train 1987

This transmission concerns two human males connected by dissatisfaction and poor judgment. The first, Larry, is a writing instructor plagued by creative stagnation and a deep resentment toward his ex-spouse. The second, Owen, is a student who lives with his mother — a shouting, immovable force of domestic oppression.

Larry encourages Owen to “eliminate clutter” from his writing. Owen interprets this as permission to eliminate his mother. The misunderstanding is somehow both absurd and inevitable. Owen, inspired by a mystery film involving reciprocal murder, assumes that if he kills Larry’s problem, Larry will kill his.

No one communicates clearly. This seems to be a running theme in Earth criminal conspiracies. Owen botches his half of the bargain by only attempting murder, while Larry — unaware of the plan entirely — becomes implicated by proximity and incoherent shouting.

Their relationship deepens through shared stress, legal avoidance, and increasingly strange behavior. Owen sees Larry as a friend and father figure. Larry sees Owen as a threat, a burden, and eventually a collaborator. Their bond is forged through the mutual failure to kill anyone successfully.

In the end, no one is murdered (on purpose), and the two publish a bestselling book about their ordeal. This is treated as a triumph. The mother, somehow, remains unconquered.

Conclusion: On Earth, even failed criminal plots can lead to friendship, fame, and financial success — provided no one dies and someone has publishing connections. Intent appears to matter less than marketable chaos.

This record confirms that humans are capable of planning murder, abandoning murder, and monetizing the attempt. Nebulon may exploit this by distributing vague advice to emotionally unstable writers. The rest will unfold organically — or end up on the bestseller list.
