(Woman enters, dictating into machine)
(Thinking, deep breath) I met the woman who killed me in a jacuzzi.
Well, that sentence might be a bit unclear.
It implies she killed me in a jacuzzi, but if I wrote it like this -
'In a jacuzzi, I met the woman who killed me' .....I think it is not as flowing a sentence. Commas slow down the mind.
So I'll leave it like that.
For now.
Because you are probably wondering how I could write something like this at all if I were still alive.
Can't.
Am writing it now, while I am still alive because I know she is going to kill me.
How?
It was a feeling, so strong that I couldn't ignore it. In the jacuzzi.
No, mind you, I do not always have feelings like that. I tend to like people. In my whole life, I can only think of a very few times, maybe the fingers of one hand, where I was actually physically afraid of someone......okay, maybe I should have been afraid more, but you know what I mean.
This was different.
This had....hate to say it, but....evil.
Or at least a very sick person, who was drunk, and who wanted to do something bad to me.
I did not turn my back.
I did not let them see I was afraid.....just like with an animal, a person like this can feel fear.
So.....I played it cool, and swam for awhile.....then I looked around. Where had they gone....
(Frightened, swiveling head)
There....there they were..........did I have to defend myself?
Or did I die and you are seeing a ghost doing a monologue.....
(Turns to leave, stops, looks back)
Or....did I get it wrong? Were they not out to kill me? Maybe.....I killed them....
(Exits to next chapter)
