torn dead

" I told you, that this shouldn't get out. I did it out of self-defense. But no they had to go and spin it."

" Veronica you were the one who roped me the fuck into this mess."

"You're the one who said, 'yeah sure ill help you hide the body of your toxic ex. Then after we can go by ice cream and Starbucks."

I rolled my eyes and said, " Listen here smart ass- you could have said no but you said yes I will help. I dont even know how I got into this citation my brain is going into a blackout or something.:

Distant low coughing comes from the floor. " God- I got a killer headache. Wait what's going on?"

" veronica what do we do?"

I started to panic and in a haste, I grabbed the shovel and off went his head. " I can't believe I just did that. God what did I do- what did I do- we need to bury him god I dont want-"

" Roni listen to me, take a deep breath in-"

We both did, " let it out."

" once more."

" good. Now we will need to bury the remains and make sure no one saw us- worse comes to worst we can say it was self-defense cuz earlier he did try to you know-"

I shivered, "I know. But wait we dont have to we only have to bury the shovel. We can throw the body in the lake"

" bingo- and the lake has been at a record high so that's perfect and it will clean off any fingerprints and we both got a clean record ( till now)."

As we drug his body through the woods we made sure no one was following us and we made sure to cover our footprints... soon we got to the lake and went into the water and made a hole and buried him in the deep end.
