I was simply going on another midnight walk, when I heard a frightening scream originating from a nearby alley. I entered to investigate, only to discover the body of an elderly woman. A large knife was sticking out of her stomach. I checked to see if she was still alive, but she was not. Worse, I ended up getting her blood on my clothes. I ran home following that event, as that woman’s murderer was surely nearby. As I ran, I heard a gunshot ring out from behind me. I do not know if it was aimed towards myself, or to make sure the woman was dead, or if it was unrelated. I must make sure to consider all options, as the thought of it being intended to end my life is… concerning. I brought home the blood stained knife.
