The Birds of Prey
Alicia was running. From what? Well, she harassed a homeless man, who threatened to kill her.
Where will I hide?
In an alley?
The shadow of the old man appeared before her.
She ran to a dead end.
He walked up close to her face.
Breathed on it, causing her to somewhat vomit.
"Missy, you messed up."
"I know, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
"This is what you get when you mess with the birds of prey."
TWO WEEKS LATER.
"Hello, and welcome to 5 news. We regret to inform you of the ghastly conclusion to the Alicia Waterstein case. She was found, dead, outside her home. She bled to death from an apparent stab wound. We will inform you on more when the details unfold."
***AUTHORS NOTE***
ONCE AGAIN, I WANTED TO DO A DARKER SHORT STORY. THIS IS COMPLETELY FICTIONAL, NAMES MATCHING ANYONE OR NEWS CHANNELS IS UNINTENTIONAL.
