The Confession Loop
sci-fi◐ Mature5 contributors · 3 paragraphs deep
Instead of saving Elias, Mara decides to catch the killer in the act. She slips into the alley behind the laundromat and waits in the shadows, gun drawn, watching the back stairs for whoever comes to do the deed.
No one comes to the back stairs at all. Mara waits the whole hour in the cold, gun shaking, and at 11:59 the lights in the apartment die. She races up to find Elias already gone, no killer, no exit. The alley was the wrong choice. The rain starts again at 11:04.
