This is Steven James' short story that you can download on the Kindle. Pretty sure it was a writing exercise that he felt his fans would enjoy. it doesn't disappoint. Just wish it was part of a larger story....

“Murder never goes as planned.”
“Love is a dark thing, you realize, to move someone to such extreme measures.”
“Death and death and death.”
A quick and enjoyable short story from the amazing Steven James. While I would have preferred a longer story, he makes the most of the 16 pages. I enjoyed the ending, which is sometimes lacking in a short story.

I knew this was a short story, but it didn't have a conclusion.
