Final Song

Murder is always dangerous

They tend to investigate murders

Now accidents

They tend to happen

Randomly

So, an accident it had to be then

She liked her bubble bath

Liked to listen to her music while relaxing

Seemed the obviously way then

Now all was needed was the execution

But more importantly

The alibi

He would be abroad when it happened

The simple rise in water as she entered the bath

The final song as she switched her music on

The extra hidden wire just to make sure

He would have that look of devastation

The breakdown

But the money would ease the pain

They would investigate

Of Course they would

They wouldn’t find anything

Eventually they would pay out

Something troubled him though

Just that niggling doubt

Kept nagging at him

What the hell was her final song.
