New Fiction: Cain’s Knife
By Lou Antonelli
The Detective sat down heavily opposite the suspect.
“We know you did it, we have a witness who saw you throw the knife into the reservoir,” said the Detective. “Why did you do it?”
“Toss the knife into the reservoir? Because it’s dangerous and I thought it was a good idea.”
The Detective frowned. “No, kill Joe Markham.”
The suspect scratched an eyebrow.
“I have no idea what you are talking about.”
“You killed Joe Markham in the alley next to the Western Auto store last night.”
