I am scared

"I am scared," she said.

"Scared? Why should you be scared?"

"Well, shouldn't I be?"

"I don't know what you are talking about."

The young woman took a deep breath. "That night. The body. This… This thing..."

"Which body? Which night?"

"You were there. I remember you were there."

"You are talking nonsense."

"It is the truth! I swear! He is after us, he will kill us all…"

"Nobody is trying to kill you."

"I am scared. I am so scared." And the woman said nothing more, but decided to close her eyes, so the murderer would not recognise her.
