The Big Three-Oh.
Thirty.
Am I having a party, you ask?
No.
No party for moi.
I've found a new way to celebrate
this special milestone.
I'm going to prison.
For murder.
I'm afraid.
Sure I am.
When the fear gets too large I claw my thoughts back
To Zack.
To what we had.
What we shared before we did IT.
I wish he were here with me.
I would find strength and love in just one look from him.
But I've never been a logical person have I?
If Zack were with me
I wouldn't be in this fix.
He's the reason I'm going to prison.
They say I murdered him.
There's no such thing as 'mercy killing' in this state.
My 'mercy' has come back to sting me - hard.
The rest of my life will be a nightmare.
I'll have plenty of time
to think about what I've done.
But I'd do it all again.
For Zack.
Tell me what you think...

Cool story! I wonder what really happened. Why did she kill him? Would be interesting to know. I'm sure it truly was a mercy killing...in her mind, anyway.
Wow Denise, this is Powerful! That's all I can think to say...
Creepy story Denise, the narrator sounds slightly unhinged, was Zack a zombie?
Well I've got some of you thinking.
Mystery, romance, tension . . this has it all Denise. Loved the tone and pacing.
.......dhole
Donna: You're too kind.

Thirty is relatively young, so assuming Zack was anywhere near the same age, his "Mercy" killing could be debateable. I'm curious to know the rest of the story. Is she a saint or a loon? Interesting stuff so far!
Tension and suspense...writing that evokes strong emotions. Well done!
