Her Name Was Melody

She whistled a tune as she got up and began to clean herself up in the en suite.


I broke my own post-coital bliss when I recognised it.


I quickly ran through the possibilities. She had said she was a painter, maybe that meant she was also a music writer?


Or maybe she'd heard it in some obscure compilation on YouTube?


...


No, that can't be it. It wasn't a song, it was just a tune the man who killed a lot of people I cared about would hum a lot.


I pulled a gun and fired a second too late.
