The Perfect Murder - Original Writing

Where am I? Was the first thought that shot through my mind.

Everything was different. There were four unfamiliar faces in the

room. The sunlight glazing warmly upon my face through the open

windows. I could see my reflection in the life size mirror next to me.

I didn’t recognise myself as my black hair looked like the dead

against my pale face. Sharp pains struck my arm as I noticed the

needles sticking into it.

“Mr Jonathan Russell?”

My pounding hard hammered hard against my chest. Was I going to die?

“Your blood results came back, you somehow got rat poison into your

blood stream but it has been taken care off.”

The strange voice continued.

“Oh” I murmured, unknowingly of what was going on.

“So you just have to sign the release forms then you may go.”

Two chubby cheerful doctors turned and walked away. Still confused I

leaped out of bed, packed my ancient red suitcase and marched over to

the bustling reception desk to sign my release forms.

Whilst I stood in amazement on the polluted pavement waiting for a

taxi to take me home in went into a trance. There is only one person

who would want to kill me. She is hiding something from me and now she

is trying to stop me from finding out. Then it came to me… Can it be?

Nervous and uneasy I kept telling myself that she would have told me.

There is only one way to find out. Confront her. I can still smell the

fresh perfume she wore that night.

“Hey babes, are we still on for tonight?” Claudia asked me excitedly.”

“Yes, yes of course and remember dress up.” I said trying to sound

sexy.

A few hours later there was a knock on the door. When I opened it I

couldn’t believe my eyes. Standing in front of me was the most

magnificent girl I have ever seen. Her long blond hair hung smoothly

against her shoulders as soft as velvet.
