Things She Left Behind

“Evelyn?”

“Yes.”

“What are you doing?”

“Listening.”

“But I haven’t said a word.”

Evelyn Alma Wilson was seventeen years old when she was charged with first-degree murder of her own brother.

Proved guilty, but mentally ill... But is she?

Out of Jealousy?

Out of Passion?

Or out of ignorance?

Only Evelyn knew the truth.

But the truth doesn’t always come out clean.

Sometimes, a moment comes when the good one gets tired of being good all the time.

It is then, we should fear them the most.
