She stares into the mirror and then down at the knife in the sink. She sighs and turns on the water, switches to hot, and the water turns red the second it falls on the knife. He deserved it, she tells herself.
Earlier tonight, she found him kissing a girl on the driveway. Rage and jealousy immediately boiled in her chest. What has she got that I haven’t got? She thought.
She rushed and grabbed the knife. As blood squirted from his chest and he lie there like a stone, she suddenly realized she’d done the unthinkable. What happens now?

What does happen I wonder?

Hmm, I do not know, call the cops and play innocent? Or get in the car and drive far away and never come back?

What happens now is she cleans off the knife–better to get rid of it entirely. I hope she had the foresight to stab the girl too, though that does mean one more body to take care of. And then the bloodstains. Crimes of passion are so messy. Maybe she better just head for Ecuador.

She goes to jail for being a murderer, all over some cheating loser.

Dear Yinglan, Good story and very well written although I disagree, about the murder. She will spend her remaining days in jail for a loser!

A crime of passion, Yinglan. I think she must have regrets. So sad she loses since she will probably be alone now.

Dear Yinglan,
What happens next is she goes to prison for the murder of a worthless, insignificant other. Good one.
shalom,

Yinglan, Next will come the trial followed by the verdict. From watching TV, I’d guess it would be manslaughter and not murder in the first degree as it wasn’t planned. She needs to find a good lawyer, fast. Well written. 🙂 —Susan
