A wisp of paranoia whizzed
through her mind as she
read his cryptic message on
the napkin.
She had to search her
memory for the reasons this
could be false, but the
blood drops on the table
confused her.
She heard water running, past
the window behind her. She
turned and saw the hosepipe
had been turned on.
She took a swig of
beer from the bottle next
to the napkin.
She tried to steel her
energy for what she knew
would be a fight.
His big, bold, laughter came
bursting in from the next room.
“A joke!”, he yelled, as
he continued laughing. That’s when
she knew that wisp of
paranoia had been right.
