Playing Detective
February 22, 2013
The clues led me to a place
I walked in
It was dark
But not scary, not at first
The words on the wall meant nothing
The blood on the floor was wiped out
I wondered why he wanted me here
I wanted him to want me here
I wasn’t sure if he was still around
I heard a noise, turned around
He was at the doorway
He asked if I’d liked the book he had given me
I asked him who he had killed
I never came out of that room
But neither did he
His next victim didn’t exist
Not anymore
