Who Did It?

The year was 1958 as we all gathered for a special little party.
The women were dressed in fine clothing, wearing diamonds, and having a little girl talk while the men all dressed alike wearing their fedoras and slacks while laughing loudly.
Everyone was drinking and smoking, having such a good time.
There at the party was first Betsy, she was wearing a slinky, silky red strapless dress,
Her hair was short and curly and had quite a curvaceous figure on her as she resembled somewhat of Marilyn Monroe with that big, pretty smile of hers.
She was of course the younger one of the group, had been married four times and was still looking for her knight in shinning armour. However, half of the women in the room were threatened by her as it gave them an excuse to make up rumors about her.
Now over on the left wearing a green conservative dress with pearls around her neck with her hair in the shape of a beehive was none other than Sefra, Sefra was considered the queen bee type, she could get you to do the things you didn't want to because she gets what she wants.
And over on the right of Sefra wearing a cocktail dress with full cherry lips and fair skin was Annie.
Annie, was prone to have anxiety attacks over the littlest things, O.C.D if you may and on the right of Annie wearing a fedora and pantsuit was me. I hate conversating with gossiping women, but tonight might as well as use it to my advantage.
Now the men, there was Johny.
He was a cop, but seemed to always jump to conclusions too soon. His hair was slicked back, his beard was rugged and untrimmed, and his body was slim.
Then there was Tommy, Tommy was quite the Playboy as his hair was full, had such flare and charm it was so deadly to be that handsome. He wore his suit and tie with a black feathered fedora, he looked like quite the catch.
And finally there next to Tommy wearing glasses, a turtle neck, and jeans was James, he was very smart and well educated. James seemed to be very quiet too.
As we were talking and having a good time the power went out as thunder and lightning roared outside then as the power turned back on Sefra was dead on the floor with a knife in her back.
All the men and women screamed as Johny knelt down next to Sefra and said " she was murdered!"
Everyone gasped in shock as we gathered around asking how could this have happen,
Johny looked around and said " someone in this room must've done it when the lights cut off!"
We looked at each other with mere suspicion while standing apart from each other as Johny then asks " well think who here hated Sefra the most?"
The whole room became silent as we wondered for a second then our eyes quickly met to Betsy who started to panic
She breathed heavily as she begged for us to not accuse her so quickly, but Tommy said " You know you wanted her dead admit it!"
Betsy's heart was pounding as she was sweating up a storm then she said while getting on her knees whimpering " please believe me I would never take a life!".
I laughed in amusement as I said " no, but you did take her last husband didn't you?"
Betsy cried while not admitting to her infidelity as she said " no that's a lie!"
Suddenly the power went out again for a quick second then when it turned back on Betsy's throat was slit open as blood spilled down from her neck while she collapsed face first on the floor.
Everybody screamed in horror while witnessing yet another homicide.
Johny, stared at Betsy's lifeless body in utter shock then he tried to calm everyone down as he was unsure of who exactly was doing this.
Annie was the first to panic and say " we should leave right now before we all die!"
but then Johny says " but we don't even know why or who is doing this!"
Annie then screamed " I DON'T CARE I WANT OUT OF HERE!"
She sat down in the corner heaving and breathing heavily as she started to cry, James went to her and held her as she was starting to have a panic attack.
James then said " well who else could've done it?"
As the room became silent for a few moments of pondering I then turned my attention to Tommy and said " didn't you and Sefra fight last night?”
Tommy's eyes widened and said " look I didn't kill her if that's what you're saying!" I smirked and said " I didn't even ask if you did!" Johny then went up to Tommy and asked calmly " what happened last night, did you two fight?"
Tommy, paced back and forth and then said " ok yes but it was nothing serious!"
Then I said " Sefra told me you wanted to get back together and if you couldn't have her no one could!". Johny raised his eye brow in suspicion as he then asked " Tommy, did you kill her?"
Tommy then yelled " No I didn’t I swear!”.
Feeling us getting hot on judgement he had his back against the wall as he looked at us with fear in his eyes.
Johny then tried to grab Tommy to sit down and talk, but Tommy stole Johny's gun from his belt and pointed it at him and said " No! I didn't kill her did you hear me!".
Everyone gasped as Tommy asked us to back up as he pointed the gun at us.
Fearing he had the blood lust to kill yet again we did nothing, but stood still until he pointed his gun at his temple and with a shiver of his breath he pulled the trigger then pow!
blood splattered all across the room, Annie cried and Johny stared in shock as he said
" oh my god".
Johny shook his head and said " I can't believe he went that far to get away from prison".
He kelt down as he closed his eyes then he looked through his pockets and said " there's no knife on him...he's innocent!". Everyone gasped as James then asked " If Tommy didn't do it and Betsy didn't do it then who did?"
Scared and confused they started to attack each other with accusations as they couldn’t figure out who was the real criminal.
Everyone started to yell and scream at each other while throwing things and fighting each other meanwhile yelling “ YOU DID IT!!! YOU DID IT!! YOU KILLED THEM!!!” during the entire time as everyone was just accusing each other and not even trying to solve the mystery at this point the lights shut off again and this time everyone stood still as Annie gasped and yelled “ WHAT’S GOING ON?!? “ suddenly screams filled the room as the lights turned back on and Annie and James’s throats were slit ear to ear, their stomachs were stabbed multiple times as all their intestines were tied together in a knot. However the only one that wasn’t tied to James and Annie was Johny as he was stabbed in the thigh and he was down on floor bleeding heavily a figure in a pantsuit with high heeled stilettos came up to Johny as he looked up said softly “ it was...youuu...” the woman kicked him in the chin then stabbed his throat with her heel. As he took his last breath she smiled at the massacre she had caused so she put her sunglasses on and struck a match and poured some alcohol all over the bodies and set them and the house on fire and left.
