Opening Lines - Ten Chapters Contest
The Senator's Mistress?
by fionageorge
The Senator's Mistress?
Chapter 1:
I sense rather than hear the presence of someone in the room, yet I don’t feel fear, just indignation that someone’s inside my home.
Chapter 2:
The doctor removes the stitches and says, “Georgia, have the police found your attacker yet?”
Chapter 3:
“Get on the floor now and don’t look up,” he says menacingly, holding a knife against my neck.
Chapter 4:
I crawl under the fence, knowing this is a risk I have to take; it’s his life or mine.
Chapter 5:
“You say it was self defence, yet you were on the Senator’s property?” the officer asks in disbelief.
Chapter 6:
I look straight ahead as I’m led into court; my wrists cuffed and an officer on either side of me.
Chapter 7:
“Your Honour, I object to the prosecution’s questions in relation to my client’s sexual preferences, which are totally irrelevant to this case,” my lawyer shouts, his face red.
Chapter 8:
“I’m not willing to make a deal, not now, not ever; I am innocent, it was self-defence,” I say defiantly, knowing it may mean I’ll spend the rest of my life in jail.
Chapter 9:
The Senator’s widow jumps up and yells, “You bitch, you might think you got away with murder, but I’m not finished with you!”
Chapter 10:
“Georgia, now that their appeal has been denied, will you finally tell me what really happened that night?”
