Mystery – January 1

“It was like someone else was doing it. I remember I’m looking down at her just before I bring it down and I’m looking at her face . . . she’s so scared . . . but it’s like I had nothing to do with it. It’s like I’m a million miles away.”
– Judith Rossner, who was inspired to write Looking For Mr. Goodbar by a crime that occurred on this date in 1973.

Writing prompt: Write a scene in which your protagonist encounters a crime so pointless and tragic that just s/he gives up.
