The Body

The Inheritance | Episode One

Battered and bruised the body remained on the wooden floor of the silence echoing mansion. Panic defined the eyes of the young woman as she stared at the decaying body before her. All was said. All was done. They’re was no turning back now, no undo, no reset button. But none of that matters in that silence stricken minute. Only what she did next mattered.

Slowly the woman stepped away from the body. Assessing the scene, her mind buzzed. “What to do?” the question played on repeat in her mind. Call an ambulance? No, he was dead. Call the police? They’ll believe she killed him, and there would be no one to say otherwise. Call the cleaners? That seemed like the only option.

These were no ordinary cleaners. They were the type who cleaned up after a lethal mess. The cleaners weren’t going to ask any questions, suspect anything. They would merely do their job; clean the scene. But no, this would create too many questions for this would create too many questions for her.
