The night before

The night before

A Story by Linear
"

A very short story, a who done it maybe, or not as the case maybe

"
Sitting on the edge of my bed
head bowed, trying hard to remember
the night before.

Had we fought?
eyes sore, I looked down at the floor
strewn with empty beer cans and cigerettes.

Carpet stained, with red puddles
a knife I hold in my hand
dropping it, it clatters on the floor
splatters bloodstains up the wall.

A tear runs down my cheek
footsteps approach my door
loud

Knock Knock

Arrested now, bound in chains
if only I could remember
the night before.

That wonderful picture sent me here. Couldn't resist. But I should have read this one first and the other last. Hopefully it was just a couple of giant rats you killed and it's PETA putting under arrest. (Sorry animal lovers :0) but if not, boy oh boy oh boy are you in trouble. Such a sad story.
