The Confession Loop
sci-fi◐ Mature5 contributors · 4 paragraphs deep
A second cop, Reyes from her own precinct, slips up the stairs. Mara almost calls out, relieved. Then she sees the syringe in his gloved hand and the way he tests the door. Her own partner is the killer. She raises her gun.
She fires too late. Reyes is already through the door and the lights cut at 11:59 like always. But this time she follows the syringe, not the man, and finds Elias breathing, only drugged. She drags him out the window into the rain. The loop holds, but for once he's alive. It resets anyway.
