  1. Cold blood murder

    Thomas came home to his wife, Rebecca, like on any other day. The sun was calmly coming trough the window through the curtains on this lovely afternoon.
    He sat down on the armchair he loved with a whisky on the rocks looking around the room and accepting it was his property. He thought about it for a moment and then he watched his beautiful pregnant wife preparing to take a bath. He had beautiful black curls and pale skin and her tummy was carrying…a bastard.
    He waited for her to get in. Calmly he pulled a chair next to her. He was serious… He told her he knew it wasn’t his child. Rebecca turned at him terrified. He pressed her hands around her neck and pushed her head beneath the water. She struggled, wanting to live for her baby but it was useless. He put his badge and weapon on the table, turned round to look at his wife’s white eyeballs… she was a beautiful corpse, but a cheating one… she deserved her death…
    He would call it in as an accident, who wouldn’t believe the most honored cop in the region?

  2. Kirov Park Meeting


    ....and suddenly, Vladimir's phone starts ringing. He hesitates for a couple of seconds, but then decides to answer the phone. After finishing his conversation, Vladimir told me to get ready to go because he had some business. I didn't know what he was up to, I only noticed that he was nervous. It was a cold winter night in St. Petersburg, nothing out of the ordinary, except Vladimir's strange behavior after talking on the phone. We arrived in Kirov park at 01.00 AM. Vladimir told me to wait in the car, but I was too curious, so i followed him into the park, where something incredible happened. He was talking to a known Russian crime boss, when suddenly Vladimir took out his gun and shot him in the head. After killing the gangster, Vladimir turned around and saw me, and that was the day I died. The end.

  3. Sympathy for the devil
    While Caroline was playing with Mike,her 3 years old sun,she saw something unusual in the tub. It was something like a black hole that then disappeared. Caroline was terrified and she called her husband but he didn`t hear her scream. Caroline decided to stay calm and she tought that it`s only her imagination because of the stress and because the trip that has taken made her tired.But after a while,when she looked again in the tub,closely , the black hole reappeared. When she saw it again,the hole seemed bigger and very,very scary.
    In that moment,Caroline ran at her husband who was in the kitchen and yelled at him to help her. When John saw her in that way,he hold she in his arms and tried to calm her but it was useless. Caroline told John all that she saw in the bathroom,then they ran there to see what happened with Mike,because he remained there this whole time.
    When they arrived there,Mike was gone,and the only thing that went out of the water was a duck made of plastic,Mike`s duck. Caroline and John were scared as dead and they began to search Mike in all the house,but nothing,Mike was nowhere. They called the police,told them all that happened,and they told them that something supernatural happened in their house,but it was unbelievable and nobody believed them.
    After a week,they find Mike dead in the garden in an unthinkable and terrible way. It was a drama,the drama of the city they were live into, a drama that nobody is sure what was about,if there was something supernatural or not. So, do you believe in supernatural events? It`s a question you are free to answer at. Why not to try to do it?

  5. ....She had been watching them for a long time. She knew what they were doing every minute of everyday. She watched them go to sleep, she watched them get up, always waiting for that dreadful day to come. In the morning the father left the house ,a thing which he would probably always regret deeply. She went inside the house, reaching quietly for the bedroom's doorknob. You could hear a soft humming coming from inside. The nanny was giving the little boy a bath. The woman got inside and reaching for the gun she said:' If you can't be mine, then you will not be anyone's child'.

  6. It was a lovely Sunday afternoon in the funfair.The summer breeze was delighting the kids sun-kissed skin and there was an explosion of all these different smells:candyfloss,popcorn,freshly ground spices.
    In all this hustle and bustle of enthusiastic visitors,you could hardly have noticed this strange boy in striped overalls with a shabby bear in his hands standing beside the merry-go-round ,with sad soft eyes and a awkward grin.He was in his early teens,orphan,the only one that knew his name was Carols,and this only happend when he had a new delivery to do.He came to the funfair once a month,to watch the young couples playing with their children,and his presence there was always ignored,almost phantomatic.A shadow appeared on his face he thought:'Tonight we're going to have a decent meal,mr.Bear!Carlos said I should pick a healthy looking child for that organs delivery!
    ---Later in the evening---
    'Incredible!It's the 4th kidnapping this year!said sheriff Jefferson.'It won't be long until it gets on the front pages!You'd better come up with a good explication why we don't know anything,cadet!

  10. An unusual night

    Hearing the bedroom door close very loudly,Tom woke up.It was midnight.There was a storm outside,so he thought that was the reason for the door closing.Surprised,he looked at the windows.They were shut so the wind couldn't have closed the door.Tom turned on the lights,took his baseball bat,and slowly opened the door.Everything seemed normal.However,there was a dripping noise coming from the bathroom.Opening the bathroom door,he noticed that the lights were on and the bathtub was full of water.While looking surprised at the bathtub,a rubber duck surfaced from under the water.Taking a better look at the water,Tom noticed that there was something in the bathtub.Looking closer,he saw a face coldly staring at him.Soon,he realized it was a dead body.Panicking,he quickly ran to the phone to call the police,but saw the phone on the floor,smashed to bits.Next to it,there was something written on the floor with a red,blood-like color.Reading it,Tom paralyzed.The text said:"You're next!".Before he made any move,he heard someone violently knocking on his door.He quickly realized that it couldn't have been the same person that dumped the body in the bathtub;if the murderer wanted something from Tom he wouldn't have exited his flat.Then he heard a very angry voice from the door saying:"OPEN THE DOOR OR I'LL FORCE IT OPEN!!!".Tom wanted to run but his flat was at the 8th floor of the building.What was he going to do?...

  17. .. It was a chilly night and only the moon lit up Mary's garden. Out of nowhere, two dark eyes appeared. He was just sitting there in the bushes, carefully watching her every move. She had no idea what was going to happen. Without suspecting a thing, she went out for a walk to clear her mind but little did she know what was going to happen. After hearing a strange sound, she became frightened and hastened the pace. It was to late tho, he was already on her trail. She panicked and started running but she didn't notice that she was heading for a dead end. There, he got to her and revealed his face. It was the ex husband, who apparently couldn't get over the thought that she had rebuild her life with someone else. He brutally stabbed her several times and then hid her body in a trashcan. The next day her body was found and the police started an investigation but with no result. No one had seen or heard anything so later, because of the lack of evidence the police had to case the close. The killed got away.. this time..

  21. After midnight

    Dr. Constantine, has determinate that the crime has occurred between midnight and two o' clock in the morning. The suicide is ruled out because the victim was stabbed ten - fifteen times.The window was left opened , but Mr. C thinks the this was done purposefully to make someone think the murderer escaped out the window. If the murderer has escaped on the window he would have left footprint's in the snow.The door was locked and chained on the inside.It appears that the murderer is still on the train ....
