"A Perfect Crime" by Jelena Vencl Ohlrogge

[6S Express!]

You said I was perfect for you; isn't it amazing how you could feel that after knowing me for only an hour we've spent together in the moving car? I talk a lot and I am not used to people actually listening, but you do; and I usually feel so lonely but no, not now when I am with you, isn't that amazing? No, I have no friends or family, no, I have no one; there are seldom days when I do not feel like the most miserable person on Earth, and here you came, being so kind and talking to me with such a genuine warmth in your voice. Why are we stopping in the middle of the forest, did something break? Is that a gun in your hand? But, you said I was perfect...

Oh my, I knew she was saying too much, and could feel it coming, but it doesn't make me feel any better for anticipating. Good writing will take you into the darkest places. I went there.

Nice twist!

I actually didn't see the sting in the tail until the end - which is unusual for me. I like the monologue style; very distinctive and accessible.

this is a brilliant piece, the heading caught me as well. the ending is sad but the twisted perspective and questions are great, the ending also made everything click.
wonderfull!

Oh wow, I really enjoyed this! I was feeling bored and decided to drop into 6S and your title caught my eye. Cleverly written, aspecially as I was sucked in to the female's perspective and then it all made sense. Perfect!
