Not As It Seems

If I've learned anything it's that nothing is as it seems. I know what this must look like and it's not what you think. Based on the body here at my feet and my hands that have been stained oh so red, you probably have come to the conclusion that I killed her. Well, for your information I did not "kill" her. You're just not looking at things from the right perspective that's all, because it's not as it seems. If you see as I do you'd understand that she isn't dead at all. You'd see that I have merely freed her, I've allowed her to transcend our physical world, into a higher form of consciousness. She begged and pleaded, but it was for her own good. You could call it a favor from the goodness of my own heart, because I would consider myself a generous man. So take a seat, have a drink, and stay a while I do insist, because as I said this isn't what it seems.

Great piece. Lots of potential.
Thank you for entering my recent contest "Without you".
I can imagine Vincent Price performing this. :-)
This was a difficult piece to deliberate over.
Also, many factors come in to play when considering a work for short film adaptation: production means and limitations; interpretative appeal for the other artists (photographers/voice-over actors) onboard etc.

This is in my reading list. I hope you work on it and keep in touch; I am interested in reading more of this to see how you write it out story and character wise.. Peace.
