I entered into the room and looked at the window. I knew he was going to paint there soon. I climbed the bed, moved the newspaper on the bed aside and crawled to the window. He had to die. He was a home wrecker and I couldn’t let him destroy my family. I opened the little net at the bottom of the window that was used to open the window from inside. It slid open with a small noise. I swallowed and rubbed my sweaty hands on my shorts. I had to man up, this was for my family and people will think it was an accident.

He heard the noise and moved down to look inside. He looked surprised to see me and then frowned.

I didn’t wait for him to talk; I stuck my hand through the burglary and pushed him with my might, the headboard of the bed digging into my stomach. He staggered and then fell, the sound of his body making contact with the fence and then the ground going to my core. It was for my family, I repeated in my head. It was my mantra. He had been warned but he didn’t listen. I had to leave; no one would know it is me. They might think it is an accident or even if they know it is murder they won’t find out the truth. I turned to go until I saw the ladder. Without thinking, I pushed my hand through the burglary and pushed it. A scream echoed outside, pain evident in it. I turned and grabbed the newspaper and what I needed off the bed before leaving the room.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

So you had a look into the mind of the killer. What do you think? Do you have an idea who it is now?

I have heard that threats work better than asking politely so I am going to try it. Vote and comment after reading or else...I am not sure what I am going to do but I am sure I can think of something...Ha ha Just joking. But seriously speaking voters are special cause I don't get notifications when anyone reads but I get them when someone votes so I know who it is and I appreciate it cos I know your names but I don't know your name if you just read and don't vote...(pauses to take a deep breath) I am sure you get the gist.
