I like you

I like to write modern poetry and sci-fi. I am not very good. One day about five years ago I decided to try a murder mystery. I had the outline, the basic idea for the three acts, but needed a perfect murder. I was stumped for a year. Then I came up with a murder, so simple, so clean, so easy and so totally unsolvable that I will never, ever write it down. It's because I like people. It would start a tsunami of murders, I kid you not.

There has been a tsunami of murders taking place for thousands of years on this Planet of the Apes. But you do sound credible so thanx for your discretion in not making it worse.

Entertaining though.

I despise the behaviors of a lot to some. Our peer group I am a part of is a gang of total animals pretty like 60%. I do not wish to be grouped into this stupid group because they are too dumb to see but I do and guess now I see you too Opps!

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Is that so?

Do you really think that many people are only not killing someone because they’re afraid of being caught? I think a lot of murders (or most) happen because someone just lost it in the heat of the moment, and not because they’ve meticulously planned it
