"Jacky, your rent payments are overdue by a month. You must pay me, today or tomorrow, or you will be greeted by a eviction notice!" The landlord stomped off. I slammed the door and sat back down on the couch. I stared down at my hands as stress filled my head. I didn't know how I was gonna pay.

She gasped as a knife cut into her stomach. She collapsed and screamed. I covered her mouth tightly with my hand and I repeatedly stabbed her, until she was out of it. My hands and sleeves were drenched in her blood, like her clothes. I reached into her jacket pocket and grabbed her wallet.

"You better have my rent-"

"Yes, sir." I held out the money. Money I had got from my little treasure hunt.
