The Apex

“One may smile, and smile, and be a villain”

- William Shakespeare (Hamlet)

"I'm surprised by how you're not even the slightest bit regretful for what you've done, Ayven. If this an important person and if someone reported him missing and if the police send an official search party, we're done for if we get caught." Faith was nervously fidgeting while we heaved the body into mom's trunk."

"God, that smells like feces and rotten flesh. What did this man have for dinner?" Elwyn scrunched his nose in disgust while carefully holding the plastic cover we used to wrap the body in, to prevent bacteria from invading our skin.

"It's not the food that makes this body smell. It's decomposition. His body is rotting." I corrected him.

Just then, a police car came into our sight and my mom dropped to the ground.

"Psst, Blaine, Faith, start panicking!" She whispered and shut her eyes.

"This act better be convincing." Saying that, Faith began sobbing and shaking my mom's body.
