Final Lines

Original- The vanishing rays of the sun’s warmth slowly creep below the horizon, allowing the cold to steal through the darkened streets. The bright lights of the city try to replicate the luminescence of the sun, but their feeble attempts leave too many shadows. And on the edge of these shadows lies a shoulder bag. On top of the shoulder bag is a pair of headphones. They don’t work anymore. The shadows cover up everything else, but the stench of the place is unmistakable with a bar next door, the alley clearly smells of vomit and urine. The neon signs of the bar highlight the shoulder bag’s profile against the pavement. But the signs don’t light up the shoe next to the bag, or the foot and cold body within the shoe.

2. Bryan Anderson visited his girlfriend at work shortly before the most important event of his life occured. To describe this event would assume that one has an indepth knowledge of the human anatomy, as there is no other way to aptly describe in any amount of detail the various injuries that led to his homicide.

3. Some people in life will tell you that knowledge is power. Shea McKenna was a vicious killer that knew what he wanted. In many ways, that knowledge only rendered him more dangerous. So, knowledge did empower him, but only to increase the danger that he posed to the rest of society.

4. "Hey Theresa, I'm really sorry about what happened to Bryan, and if there's anything that i can do , just let me know," Tony said. He couldn't help but feel bad for the girl, she had gone out on her smoking break and discovered a body that looked far too familiar. It was her boyfriend Bryan, who had visited her at work not even a half-hour before the body was found.

5. If there was anything that scared him, it was dark alleys. He knew that for the most part, all of the stuff in the movies was fake. But there was some deep part of his imagination that kept telling him that something was amiss in that alley, and that he should continue on his way home. However, his dilemma was that he had promised his girlfriend that he was going to visit her at work. He took the shortcut to the bar where she worked, and thought he saw a shadow dancing on the wall behind him. His fears were coming true.
