"Mae Song was discovered in front of her apartment complex a couple of nights ago. The police are investigating whether it was suicide or homicide. If anyone has any information, please contact the police department."

I watch the news in the airport with a grimace on my face. That night wasn't as exciting as I had hoped. I staked outside the Loosey Goosey bar for my next victim. I didn't even have to enter the bar to try picking anybody up.

Mae Song tapped on the window of my car right when I parked. Her long brown hair blew in the wind as the red cocktail dress curved her body. She asked if I could be so kind as to give her a ride. Not wanting to waste such an opportunity, I unlocked the door and gestured for her to enter.

Being as intoxicated as she was, I was playing the part of a gentleman, and helped her up to her apartment. Well, it was dragging her heavy ass up there. When we entered, she pushed me down onto the floor. "Let's have some fun." She slurred before licking my cheek.

I slapped her away in disgust. "You're no fun." She tugging on my shirt. "C'mon. Don't be shy." I pushed her away with flushed cheeks. And she kept coming onto me as I reject her advances. She finally slapped me, and left a red mark. "Get out, you buzz kill." She threatened.

"Gladly." I said as she waddled to the balcony to light a cigarette, but is fighting with the strong breeze and can't get it to light. "C'mon stupid thing." that's when she twisted in an attempt to get the breeze blowing the opposite direction and lost her footing. She fell off the railing and plummeted to her death.

I ran and peeked out to see where her body landed and where the blood is before high-tailing it out of there. Thank god no one spotted me leaving the scene. Last night's kill wasn't as satisfying as the others. Maybe it's because I didn't end her life. She did it herself.

My sulking was cut short when my grandma is pinching my cheeks from behind. "Are you ready for some family fun, honey?" I look at my mom and grandpa smiling at the scene in front of them, and that's when our flight number is announced on the intercom. Grandma let go of my face, and we join the other passengers heading to Miami, Florida.
