The man walked away and life returned to my face. I hope he sees my fear as a reason to not suspect me. My small figure might have helped this time. No one would expect that someone like me could kill three 6-foot seniors.

Nothing more notable happened. We talked, had fun and finished all the food. Mom seemed to be having fun but there were those times of sadness. I can’t help but feel kind of bad that Alyson left so early.
