Wordle #1098 – PAINT
“If you help me, I won’t get caught.”
I know I’m being manipulative, and I feel especially guilty considering how Kevin has already stuck his neck out for me, but I don’t see any other option.
“I don’t know…” He hems and haws some more, unusually indecisive. As difficult as it is for me to restrain myself, I decide not to push.
Kevin reaches slowly for another piece of pork, so I help myself to an egg tart.
I’m about to take a bite when I feel a prickly sensation tripping along the back of my neck, like someone’s watching me. Hushed giggling comes from somewhere over my shoulder, and when I turn to look, the laughter escalates into melodramatic gasps.
Sure enough, there’s a table of young, well-dressed women, all of them with their phones trained brazenly on me.
I wonder how social media will paint the scene as something scandalous…
“Crypto Killer Cozies up to Victim’s BFF.” Or maybe, “Crypto Killer Murders Ex—and Dim Sum.”
