The Accident

Jenny trembled as she hid under weeks of foul garbage. Silently sobbing, she prayed for her life. The man in the alley had been following her since she left Gwen’s house. The gun he was carrying clued her in to his purpose. Patroling the alley, he man carefully manuevered the area around the dumpster looking for any indication of her whereabouts. Perplexed by her apparent disappearance, the man contacted his associates.
“Not more!” she thought to herself.
How could she have been so stupid? He had been watching her the whole time at Gwen’s house.
She grimaced as she accidentally bumped her head on the dumpster wall causing an audible thump.
The man immediately noticed and progressed towards her hiding location. “I’m sorry,â€? she whispered as she turned to face Gwen’s body, “I’m so sorry. I just got so jealous when he left me for you. How could I have done this?”
The sound of sirens filled the alley as police officers joined their friend in the search for the beleaguered girl.
