Not pretty anymore

Pretty she was
Not pretty anymore
Food on a plate
Not begging anymore...

Picking the most vague lines are my best choice, I concluded. “You’re standing with a knife,” I said, thinking carefully of every ...
“My name’s Deborah,” I said, my voice shaking a little. I was trying my best to appear calm but I knew my face was betraying me, “my friends call me Debbie, you can call me Debbie, if you want.” God, why was this happening to me? I’m a good woman! “I have two kids,” the tears were coming down, “a girl and a boy. Grant, he loves soccer, and my little Harper. She does dance, she wants to be a baller...
“I can tell already that you want to kill me. I know this is the part where I’m supposed to beg for my life. I know I should list all the reasons i have to live to convince you not to kill me; a family, a passion, a spouse.”

Stuff like this wasn’t supposed to happen to people like me. I was good. I kept my nose out of business that wasn’t mine. I didn’t do drugs, I didn’t hurt anybody, and I certainly didn’t make friends with psychopaths.
But there I was, little Frannie Marlowe, facing down some poor demented soul who couldn’t tell right from wrong. I was top of my class in highschool. I was going to be top of my cl...
