Go back in time, a century of two, and dive into these short stories.
Would you have gotten away like they did with murder ? What would you have done in their place?
Olivia sent Elijah back out and told him to go to work. Elijah told her that he was thinking about what they did and that it started to haunt him. Olivia reassured him and told him that it was just the rain and that he probably did not see who it really was. He kissed her then left under the pouring rain. Olivia went back up the stairs and sat on one of the chairs in the upstairs living room. She started thinking out loud. Saying that she could not let him ruin all that she has done because he saw John and that he started regretting killing him and Freyah. She started thinking about what he could do, tell the police what they have done and finished her life in prison? No, that was out of the question. She then thought that she would murder Elijah, so their secret could be safe. She went downstairs to the office room where the phone was and called the information service to send her a pianist for that evening. She only had a few hours to come up with the perfect murder. She wanted it to be something classy like she read in a book once. She then remembered that she had bought a poisonous herb from Broadway market that time she went to Hackney in London. She thought she could make a romantic dinner, with a pianist, candlelight and his favourite: tomato soup. It was perfect! No one would guess that he was poisoned and the pianist would be a great witness so that she would not get accused of assassination. It was close to 5 pm and she only had an hour left to get everything ready for dinner.
She was in the kitchen getting the soup ready when the doorbell rang. It was a man, a pianist. She told him to come in, but she did not pay any attention to his face. He was wearing a long black coat and was dripping with water because of the storm outside. She then said: " the piano is in the dining room on your left. Make yourself comfortable while I finish dinner". She rushed back to the kitchen. The clock rang 6 pm and Elijah was just in time as per usual. Olivia greeted him with a kiss and a smile and said that she had prepared them a romantic dinner.
The piano was playing "right here waiting" when they came into the room. They sat at the table and she served him the soup with the poison in it. The pianist changed track and began playing "marriage d'amour". Elijah took a spoonful and dropped dead, his head fell in his bowl. Olivia had a smile of relief when all of a sudden the music stopped. A slow clapping started, she turned around and saw walking out behind the piano her late husband, John. She said :
"You! It can't be! You are dead!" John replied: "oh but it is I! I did not perish that day of March 15th 1873.
-Elijah was right, you are alive but how?
- I swam to the edge of the canal where the bushes were and I waited until you left. I then ran to the old house of Sunnyside on the hill and stayed there. I followed you seeking revenge..."
He then walked straight to Olivia and took out of his pocket a dagger. He stabbed her three times. She did not see it coming. She only had the time to ask him one question "why?" and gave her last breath.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, or in this case with a bowl of soup and a side order of betrayal.
The end.
