    Breathe- Chapter 10

    He closed his eyes remembering the feel of the sticky ink between his fingers.

    The waiting was the hard part.

    Picking stories that lived alone was smart, but sometimes it took days for his work to be discovered.

    And even though he took deadlines into consideration when drafting his schedule, he could never control when his work reached the masses.

    He even thought of calling 9-1-1 early in the morning and reporting the crime himself, but he knew they recorded all the calls. Like all good journalists he had to be patient and let the story come to him.

    His third story had been the most frustrating. It had taken three days and then the family finally had the police break in, but not until 3:30 in the afternoon.

    He curled his lip as if the memory left a bad taste in his mouth. All the TV and radio stations had consumed and digested the story before any print hit the streets.

    If broadcast had it before the papers, he learned, the print reporters backed way off. Whereas a breaking story may cover 30 column inches and have a stacked headline, a story that has already been devoured and stripped of its meat by television and radio garnered little more than a paragraph in the “while you were sleeping” section.

    That’s why he decided to try a story with a roommate. He knew it was more complex, so he spent more time waiting, watching, studying.

    Whereas his notes on the comings and goings of his first stories filled one notebook, the deep background research on the two roommates filled almost three.

    He knew everything. He had even done a dry run the week before, hiding in her bedroom at the exact same time his outline called for.

    He had watched her from the deep recesses of her closet through a small hole drilled in the sheetrock. One thing he appreciated about modern apartment construction, it was so easy to drill and patch holes.

    Even though he wouldn’t have had the chance to calm her, he had almost gone ahead and filed his story that day. As she took off her silk blouse, he saw her bare skin and he had wiped the sweat from his eye just in time to see her pulling a casual T-shirt shirt over her bare *****.

    3. damm, this is fucking awesome, so he kills for his stories gotta love it, surprised he didn’t follow them to the house, I hope bette has some high tech things at her house.

    4. This is an amazing story. I love the dreamlike feel and the heightened emotions, both B and T slightly out of control, falling in love surrounded by dark circumstances. It’s romantic and dangerous. Really wonderful fic.

    5. Sox I have finally caught up with all of the chapters.This is a great story.I love mysteries myself.Glad to see you post here.I lurk over at TWOP and I enjoy your coments.Keep up the great work.

    6. I most definitely have to agree with Hopeful . this is, without a doubt, page turning book material. Even though
      you work in education (I think) you could have a career in this field if you wanted one … thanx for this great story –

    7. Really like this story and am eagerly awaiting the next chapters. Are you from Seattle? I am also in the aea and it is fun to have familiar names in the story.

    8. I have been reading your story from the beginning and I must say that it is very compelling. This particular POV is both chilling and insightful. Very foreboding. The details that you provide from the investigative , victim’s and the killer’s side is done perfectly, not too much information to muddy things up.

      I guess what does not kill them will only make them stronger?

    9. soxy this is damn good stuff. stories that lived alone. wow what a freak. wonder what those things are he needs to do *wringing hands*. going off to read next one.

    10. So its a guy. And to think T.K was so close to be being killed, creepy to think he was in her room. Again Sox, you are a super talented writer and thanks for sharing you skill with us.
