The dinner is over and although I enjoyed it , I forgot I have to now clean up. I look around and all I can do is shake my head. I go to put the last of the dishes in the sink and that where I saw it under another dish. A bloody knife. At first I didn’t even know what I was looking at. You know how you see something but trying to convince yourself it’s not what it looks like.That was me standing there looking and not wanting to touch it. It’s looked like dried blood so I know it was blood and not the sauce I used for the food. I wonder how long was it in there and why was it in there.

I put the dishes i had in my hand in the sink and got my brown towel out of the drawer and pick up the knife. I folded it up in the towel for later. After cleaning the kitchen. I called my husband to ask him about the knife.

A few days ago

“Baby , you have to work late again that’s every night this week”.Every night at midnight, he gets up to leave for work.

“You ask me this every time I get up to leave”

“I’m just saying it’s getting dangerous out with all these women getting killed and missing I get afraid to stay here all night by myself”

He kisses my forehead and look me in the eyes and tell me I will be alright.

That didn’t help at all.I lay back down and go to sleep. I wake up it’s morning and there he is sleeping right next to me. Like clockwork I turn on the news and the first story on the news is a woman going missing and they found blood in her apartment.

“This is so crazy”I whispered

“Good morning my husband kisses me”

“Good morning how was work”

“It was good , did you sleep well”

“Yes but I missed you”

“I missed you too”

Thinking about a few a days ago…could it be his?

“ Honey, can you come here a minute?

Ken comes in the kitchen

“Yes, honey”

Umm, I found something and I was wondering where it came from? I turn around and open the towel and pick up the knife with the towel of course.I turn around and he looks at the knife and start shaking his head.

“You just couldn’t wash it and put it away. How can you be so stupid”

I looked at him surprised. I didn’t even recognize my husband anymore.

He comes towards me and grabs my arm.

“Give me the knife”

My hand and arm gets week and I drop the knife. While he bends down to pick it up I turn to run.I don’t know where I was going but I wanted to get away from him. I run to the front and just as I opened it he came up from behind me and closed the door

“Where do you think your going ?”

“Get off of me”

I still don’t understand why he’s acting like this. I pulled away from him and run to the phone. I grab the phone and say to him

“If you come closer I will call 911”

He starts laughing and say “just like all those women did right before I killed them”

“Oh my god ,you?”

“Yes ,me they were weak women who couldn’t mind their business so I had to shut them up just like I am going to do to you.”

I looked quick while he charged at me and I grabbed the vase off of the dresser and hit him with it. It knocked him out so I immediately called 911 and went outside to wait for them.

The cops came and I tell them what happened and that he’s inside. They go inside and come out and says

“Ma’am , there’s no one inside”. I looked at him and said

“Yes, yes he’s on the living room floor”

Ok they go back inside but before he does he’s stopped by another officer

He comes over to me and tells me “ma’am ,there’s no one in there” I looked at him with wide eyes.

“What do you mean?” I pushed past them to go where I knew I left him and he’s gone. I gasped and started looking for him.”This can’t be ,he has to be here.”

“It’s ok, we will find him.”
