Tonight's Victim Was Kathleen
by Gungalo
There's a chill in the air but he doesn't care ...
She stood in the glow
of the lightning strewn skies,
staring out the window to the east.
Deep in thought she noticed not
the coming of him into the room
from shadows that danced on the walls.
Thunderous booming from the night's storm
drowned out any sound from his feet
across the white marble tiles.
When he was merely a hair's breath away
she turned suddenly and gasped ...
it was the last breath she'd ever take.
Piano wire about her neck garrote style
while he held her until she slid silent
onto the floor at his feet.
Laughing he removed the wire quickly
arranged her body in a sexy pose
then turned and left the way he entered.
Outside in the rain he looked skyward
felt the cool drops upon his warmed cheeks
and calmly strolled down the walk to home.
He loved the sound his shoes made
how the water squished beneath his feet.
He smiled each time and continued on.
Known as the Alphabet Killer
tonight's victim was Kathleen,
tomorrow night he would visit Lizzy.
