SIXTEEN

Expecting to be
fascinated
excited
lustful
as she watched the prostitute die

Jets of ruby liquid
sprayed from the gash on her neck
soaking her clothes
and the hand which tried to hold back the blood
to no avail

Gurgles and strangled cries
exited the prostitute's bleeding mouth
her limbs shaking
uncontrollably

The floor began to fill up
with the blood

In a few minutes
the prostitute was dead
slumped against the wall
drenched in crimson waves
