My friend Anna

My phone was going to die and I had called Anna a thousand times without a reply or a single message. She was supposed to be there three hours ago.

She was the one who told me to hurry here. She said she was coming straight from her place. The last time I spoke to her she seemed wobbly as if something alarming had occurred. At first, I assumed she broke up with her boyfriend once again, but the more I thought about it the more uneasy I felt.

I finally requested the server for the receipt and decided to visit her apartment to see if she forgot about me.

I was one block away when I saw the ambulance and police cars down the building.

"Don't approach!" An officer demanded.

I stood frozen when they were carrying a body covered with a white fabric stained with blood.

I swallowed my saliva. The blue and red lights and noises seemed unreal.

"Anna?" I whispered when I saw her in handcuffs with two female officers holding her arms.

She killed him. Finally!

I chuckled with ease.
