9. Coroner’s inquest
Not coming off that easy after all. Betrayal in the last line of the chapter

8. To make it look like a proper accident

Hell could have opened for me then, and it wouldn’t have made any difference. I had to have her, if I hung for it.
I had her.

My voice sounded queer, like it was coming out of a tin phonograph.
‘And this you don’t know how you got.’
I hauled off and hit her in the eye as hard as I could. She went down. She was right down there at my feet, her eyes shining, her breasts trembling, drawn up in tight points and pointing right at me.

See? Love and desire, I tell you 🤦‍♂️
