He’d done it. He smiled at the perfect job. He’d left her lying across the bed with the pill bottle in her hand. And she hadn’t even suspected that he’d doctored her drink.
She did love to drink, and that had made it so easy. He smiled again as he leaned back in his easy chair savoring his success. Leaving the lone candle burning was an artistic touch. And his fake alibi was so tight, he’d never be suspected.
Now, to call Bernard and report his success. Reaching into his pocket, he froze. Where the hell was his cell phone?

perfection is rare
There’s always that one tiny detail that gives the murderer away. Nicely done.
Thank you.
Not quite the perfect crime after all…
Oops. Love the voice in this – he thought he’d been so clever….
Thank you. I just happened to notice an item lying on that table that looked like either a compact or a flip cell phone. It’s probably neither. But that’s what birthed the idea.
Dear Sandra,
So much for his scathing success. We can be sure his sin will find him out. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks, Rochelle.
Hah! He’s not gonna feel too clever once the Police finds his phone. Well crafted suspense here, Sandra. I enjoyed reading it. Cheers, Varad
Thank you very much.
Smug bastard – serves him right!
Ha! Foiled again! Karma is a…blessing 🙂
It’s those finishing touches, or lack of them, that generally give gives the game away. Nicely done.
Thanks, Sandra.
