I knew my life would never be the same once I had to leave. Everything I knew and loved was at this beach and because of unforeseen circumstances, I could no longer stay. I knew it was partially my fault, but I also knew that if Steve hadn’t reacted the way he did, I would not be in this situation. I began to form a plan – if I could just get rid of Steve I could stay. He was the only one who knew I was responsible for the murder in the first place. If only he hadn’t interrupted me.

Nothing like compounding the crime. Do you think Steve had a back up?

Steve is in a bit of danger. I wonder if he realises…! Good one.

Could you perhaps change the font size on your page. It’s soo small I can’t read it. Wish I could.

Sorry, I don’t think there is a way for me to enlarge the font size on my end.

I have a feeling she’ll be staying, sorry Steve!

Once you’ve killed once, it’s probably not that hard to just let Steve have a little accident with a cliff, no is it? Nice mystery here. I hope Steve is forewarned and already at the police station!

I think it’s already too late. If s/he expected a different reaction from Steve, he’s probably already told someone. There’s a lot of story here, I love it.

I feel the foreshadowing of a double homicide…

Yikes! Sounds like there might be another murder in the midst!

It’s all Steve’s fault then. Some people just can’t resist telling others off when they murder people.
