Spiral: A collection of thrillers

By: Harper, Kylie

An anthology of ThrillersUnhappily married Alan has a one-night stand with a woman he meets in a seedy bar. When he returns home, he finds that his wife has been murdered and that he is the primary suspect...Eleven months had passed since he last sat down on the court bench, testifying before a jury. Nobody believed him. The evidence was so compelling there was really no way of changing people's minds. They slaughtered him the moment he took the stand; his eyes wavered back and forth, staring into each of the juror's eyes. They seemed so distant, so different; he knew their minds had already been made. He gave his testimony and watched as the DA tore him apart. His only alibi seemed like a lie. He didn't have her name, and everyone who saw them together suddenly fell under a spell of amnesia.His sentence for being accused of his wife's death was the death penalty. Because of the policy of the state, he would be hung in one year max. He only had eighteen days left. What good was all the money he made as a successful businessman worth? At that moment, besides hiring the best attorney, pretty much nothing. He sat on the cold metal bench and stared out the cell into the bigger prison outside. Enclosed between steel and concrete, laid walls and more walls that held everyone inside the prison in an endless eternal purgatory. He freaked out when the guard interrupted him with his loud grunts. "You have a visitor Alan, make your stuff and head out," the old, grumpy detention officer yelled. Years of working the prison had made their effect on him, turning him from a positive humanitarian man into an old, spiteful beast. Alan put on his red jumpsuit, grabbed the file of paperwork underneath the bunk bed and headed out the cell into the main corridor. Below on the first level were the rest of demons, a few dozens of killers and despicable human beings, awaiting for their time at the slaughterhouse. A few of them claimed to be innocent, just like him, but the others didn't even show the slightest hint of remorse. Most bragged about what they did. He walked down the flight of stairs and proceeded to the gates. The guards searched him, handcuffed him and placed ankle cuffs on him, just in case....
