Alice
Alice. That was her
name. Everyone loved her and would describe her as full of life, sweet, smart
girl. Nobody expected to find her in the middle of the road in town square, on
one of these days. Nobody ever expected anything like this. Not in this quiet, small
town. Not here, not today. Of all the people it was Alice. Beautiful, very
smart girl. She aced high school, great career prospects and lots of friends. Why?Who?How?
It was a cold day
and lately it’s been raining a lot. It seemed like it will be a cold wet autumn
this year, more so than usual. The crowd started to gather around. Crowd of
horrified and disturbed faces. You could clearly see the anger in some and fear
in the others. This has never happened. Who would do such a thing and will it
happen again?
Was it random or cold and calculated? The air was cold that
day, clouds gathered and many feared that worst is yet to come. Even though
people in this town knew each other well and were close, now everyone was wary
and everyone was a suspect. The atmosphere was tense and heavy.
There she lied, alone,
helpless and dead. Her red dress was matching the colour of her blood, the same
blood which enveloped her beautiful, dark, charcoal hair. She was a slim
fragile girl and you can see marks clearly around her wrists. She was tied
down, and then shot in the head. It was cold, seemed calculated and it
frightened the whole town.
It started to rain.
Police showed up and even they were surprised with what they saw. A murder, in
this town. It’s Alice, how could anyone do this. Everyone heard she was
planning to move to the big city. “New life! The big dream”-she used to say, people
who knew her wished her the best, and only were excited for her. Seems like,
not everyone agreed and she was destined to never leave this town.
Police gathered
around the scene of the crime, investigation has been launched and people were sent
home. Multiple police officers asked people not to panic or speculate and the
crowd headed home. Who would do such a thing and will it happen again?
The worst was yet to come.
