He walked in washing his hands
The clock chimed
12:00am
He chuckled
If he had calculated right, she would be dead in 10 minutes
That will put him safe asleep
With his dog Willard

She had been amusing to take down
Other men in the firm said she never slept with anyone
But it only took seven methodically placed glances
To take her clothes off

She had trusted him with her body
So she then trusted him with her coffee

Slipping thallium to her for the past month had been the easy part
Keeping relations with her was
Not

He hated the naked body
Despised it
He thought it demeaning and
Petty that a persons weakness was so readily accessed

But he did enjoy
Taking the
stoic
confident
reserved
Vice President
And turning her into a
wailing
bleeding
12:10 -- now dead
heap on the forest floor
