I guess, we just never really know the truth . . . at least, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. LOL. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. ................

Welcome Faith,
his is a fully told story about killing in self-defense because of living in an abusive relationship. She seemed to have kept this well hidden from her friends and the cops. It seems she is still safe from detection right now;
Congrats on placing second in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Joan

This flash story has all the elements of a good suspense story: empathy concerns and escalating tension of internal conflicts. The death occurred before the story begins and the character is compelling. The perfect crime, without evidence or eyewitnesses.

So she ran him over. You hear about a woman staying in an abusive relationship, and people question why she stays. Little do they know how afraid she was of the man who claimed to love her. If she had not killed him, he would have probably killed her. Thank you for sharing.
