As I was washing the blood from my hands, I noticed the open window. When I was done, I climbed out of the window and began to walk towards the part of the city with stores and malls at every street corner.

As I was walking, something caught my eye. It was a group of people surrounding a TV inside a store. I went inside to see what was going on. It was on commercial break when I first walked inside.

The news finally came back on. The reporter started to say something I couldn't understand because everyone was talking.

All of a sudden, the "breaking news" headline came up on the screen.

The reporter said, "Breaking news. An eighteen year old girl named Anna, aka 'Crazy Girl', has recently escaped the local psychiatric ward. She has shoulder-length brown hair, green eyes, and is about five feet eleven inches tall. If anyone sees anyone that looks like the description, or has any suspicions or clues that may lead to the finding of her, please call the police. She may be armed. She has murdered people before, so she probably isn't afraid to do it again."

I had to get out of there fast. Sure, I had cut my hair shorter with a pair of scissors I had managed to take from the psychiatric ward before I escaped, but I had to get out of there before anyone noticed me.
