A Sweet Murder
“Who knew buttons could be so loud? There were screams on both sides of the glass. The screams on the other side were not heard but they could be seen. Grace watched hopelessly as the white-coated people dropped test tubes and glass bottles all around the room. As one, the people behind the glass turned to look at whoever had caused the noise. Grace hung her head in shame and gave herself away. She clutched her open blouse together and raised her head. The wild fury on Della’s face caused Grace’...s heart to miss a beat.
No one on Grace’s side on the glass wall spoke although Grace could feel their eyes boring into her. She looked at the floor again and muttered, “Sorry, so sorry.” With her head bowed she retraced her steps out of the room. She would have run but she was afraid the last two buttons on her blouse would give up the ghost too.
Once through the doors Grace felt the sting of tears. She blinked. It was an accident, that’s all. Accidents happened all the time.
Fear came rushing towards Grace.MoreLess
