Clocks

by

He stares at the clock on his dashboard, glowing in the dark.

3:54 am.

He must arrive before sunrise. It's imperative no one sees him.

He churns the events of the last two days over in his mind. It was a major blow discovering his new bride was unfaithful, with his best friend.

4:04 am.

Almost there.

4:14 am.

It'll be light soon. He backs his car up to the edge of the cliff. He looks down at the ocean below.

He pops the trunk and removes the two bodies, throwing them off the cliff for a burial at sea.

    Thanks, guys. If this were Alfred Hitchcock Presents ole' Alfie would have to come on at the end and say that he was caught at the border trying to sneak into Mexico, because on TV at that time they weren't allowed to let people get away with a crime. Hitchcock got around that by making the episode exactly like he wanted and then just saying they got caught when he did his wrap up at the end of the episode. (But in my mind the guy gets away with it!)
