Save Riley(45)

I heard a whimper and a snap and then Riley’s body pitched forward and fell over the balcony. I ... I had killed her.

What have I done? I thought frantically to myself. I looked over the side of my house and saw her body had landed at an odd angle. Her eyes, her beautiful haunting blue eyes were staring up at me vacantly. Her head rested on her shoulder and a small trickle of blood poured from the side of her mouth.

The one moment I considered us equals, the one moment I wanted to tell her that I loved her was gone now.

I would never have a chance to love her again, to feel her warm body in my hands. I had just murdered the one person I honestly loved.

Any ounce of sanity I had was finally gone.
