The dirt on my hands is thick, black, mucky and rancid. I have buried her with my bare hands scrapping the dirt to cover the lifeless body. I look at my hands the only witness to my crime as they stare at me but I don't feel remorse, its the third or forth time that I have done this.

The lifeless body is beneath me, rotting away as I stand on it and she was beautiful and I like my other prey charmed her with my tails of fame not that I have had any. But the young women always seem to believe me as they say I am handsome, I am called ' pretty boy' as they can't seem to resist my black hair and tall stride that I have. I have that natural look which makes me seem vulnerable and I lure them like a cheese on a mouse trap to their end.

These hands will be washed, with no tale or mark neither with the girl who is now beneath me, all the newspapers say is 'another girl has gone missing' but they never discover why or how as I don't look the part of what they call a 'killer'. I work as a community support officer in my spare time so I am at no where considered a suspect.

The dirt smells on my hands of deterioration but I feel control, that power of taking a life away and doing it slowly so I can stare at the eyes of my victim. Another one below me in the depths of the bosom of the Earth, now I will again seek my next target.

The Evil Step Mother’s Point of View - Cinderella

 ‘I hate you, you old bag’ she screamed as she threw the bowl across the room. I had made her favourite dish soup, which I had spent ages cooking in the kitchen. Her father had told me that it was going to be hard to be accepted as her new mother, but this was much harder than I had imaged. ‘Mum we have tried, I offered to give her my new dress’ said Gemma. ‘I said that I would take her to the ball with us’ said Louisa. ‘What can we do? She calls us UGLY sisters, it’s so cruel cried Pamela.    I hugged my three daughters closely, I wanted Cinderalla to accept us as we had with her. But she hated us, calling me a ‘wicked stepmother’ and slamming doors. She would cry and portray us as ogres. With the arrival of the Prince inviting us to go to the ball, I even tried to invite her but she was spoilt and rude. ‘I don’t want to go, you old bag, GET LOST’ she shouted. ‘I will get there myself’ she stormed off as usual to her room. ‘I miss my mum, you marrie...

Dining Table

Empty table, empty chairs, candles unlit and vacant promise of what could be a sign of fragrant, but just isn't there. Empty table, empty chairs, table cloth and a beautiful room promise of what could be a bloom of people hustle and bustle, but in reality it isn't there.

Is It?

Is it some magic trick performance that vanishes into a smoke, puff huff and it relishes into nothing. Is it a wish from a some dandelions from her hands into a smoke, puff huff and they disappear? Is it something burning some twigs holding into smoke, puff and huff that fade away like a sphere of smoke? Whatever it is in her hands, she holds the power and control to erase, puff and huff and watch that steam go into the wind and to perish and become distinct and embrace the new beginnings of her life.
