"Binders Full of Women"
(With apologies to Edwin Gorey)
by tina
It
is child's play. The three dart boards sit side by side on the beige
wall to the left of my desk. The first dart picks the letter. The
twenty-six letters are randomly spaced. Of course the letter "X" is
omitted. "R" for Rachel appears more than "U" for Ursela. I have
included one "Q" on the off chance that I should meet a victim with a
name starting with that letter. Some poor British wench might be named
"Queen" for all I know and just because.
The second board is
similarly lettered. "A" is easy as it stands mainly for asphyxiation
and provides wide lattitude. Rachel might be strangled with a cord or
Bunny might be suffocated with a bag. "S" is for strangle or suffocate
(see Rachel and Bunny above). I abhor "G". Guns or gutted always
results in a bloody awful mess. I'm not a tidy person but I do like to
clean up after myself.
The last dart board has numbers. So if I
throw "D", "A", and "10" then the lady whose bio appears tenth in he
binder with a name starting with "D" will be assissinated via
asphyxiation.
I add and subtract to my binders full of women on a
regular basis. Women reading this may want to check the popularity of
their name. Of course my aim with the darts is probably of more import.
Abagail is found strangled with a scarf in her sitting room. She is (or was) second in the binder full of "A" names.
