Her Shadows

~ A World Painted Grey: Book 1 ~

Already incapacitated, I drag his limp body toward the smoking car. Fastening him back into his seat, seatbelt back in place. Then I grip his skull with my glove-clad hands and ram his head into the steering wheel.

Over and over and over again.

Eventually the breathing stops, and his weakened pulse slows to a halt. Dead in my hands I throw his head against the wheel once more. Reaching past his limp body, I grab the manila folder.

For a moment I watch his corpse. Supposing I should feel even a twinge of guilt.

But I never do.

Not anymore.

Instead, with no feeling in my cold heart, I turn my back to him and walk away.

The car bursting into flames behind me.
