I’ve been coming here for two years now.

Betty, behind the bar, knows more about me than most of my friends. She knows my favorite drink, the time of night I usually come in, and the fact I am always alone.

There are things Betty does not know about me. My darkest thoughts, the dangerous things I have done, the people I have killed. Only three so far but I have plans for many more.

I’m a good planner. I love details. I do a lot of research on the habits of my victims.

Tonight I am studying Betty.

  1. Poor Betty. It sounds like he’s getting rid of witnesses. Betty would make a good witness if he’s brought to court on the other killings. Her job’s more dangerous than working in a convenience store. Good story and writing, Danny. —- Suzanne
