The Confession Loop
sci-fi◐ Mature5 contributors · 5 paragraphs deep
Mara shoots Reyes in the leg before he reaches the door. He goes down cursing, syringe rolling away. She cuffs him to the stair rail. 'Why him?' she demands. Reyes laughs. 'Because Voss saw what you did, Mara. You just don't remember yet.' The clock reads 11:58.
'I saw nothing,' Mara snaps, but Reyes just grins from the rail. 'Voss filmed you, that first night. The bribe. The body you dumped. The loop's been hiding it for you.' The clock hits 11:59 and the memory floods back, all of it true. She sinks to the stairs as the lights die, finally knowing the killer was her all along. The rain starts again at 11:04.
