Murder Under The Name Of Beth

The girl froze when she saw the sight that greeted her. The bag that she carries slipped from her finger. Her eyes were wides open in shock, and she drew her hands high towards her face. She places both hands on her cheeks, opens her mouth wide, and screams with all her might. The scream causes her teeth to be visible. Her eyebrows are raised high up to her hairline, which creates a crease on her forehead. Her back is hunched as if protecting herself and her shoulders are tense like a bowstring.

She tried calling for help, but there was a lump in her throat, and the only voice that came out was a small whimper. Her feet were frozen in place. Across from her lay her brother's lifeless body. There is a trail of blood seeping from his forehead. It falls into his nose and drips on the hardwood floor. His brother's eyes were wide open and glassy. The horror across her is too much to bear, and she feels her legs buckle up beneath her. She tries to regain her balance by leaning on a tall wooden cabinet. But, even so, she couldn't stifle the sob that escaped her mouth. She had just lost her only brother, Sam. Somebody had murdered her brother.
