Your twist at the end is inspired. Two of me--are we dealing with a split personality or schizophrenia? I sense some sort of mental illness and you delve into the characters mind with great detail and horror.

    Either or. Schizophrenia is one form of split personality. Each personality is unaware of the others. So the murderer thought he was innocent until he discovered his second personality and realized he killed the guy. So the main guy really was innocent. But he shared a body with the murderer. Thank you for the great review

I think it was Jack Ketch the famous British executioner who maintained that he had never hanged a guilty man as they had all claimed to be innocent. But it must be absolutely awful to be accused of a murder you really did not commit.

I enjoyed the story the poem told. It had me interested to the point that I had no clue how it would end. Until I see evidence why the guy was being questioned, I stayed with him. To learn that he was possibly guilty shocked me.

Pam girl you high now this is very intriguing story and from what I'm gathering this person had a dual personality one that was good and no that was bad and then the good one do you not remember what the bet when did at the time that the murder was being done. But then after sitting in the pain for awhile it all comes back to mine that the bad guy part of him did do the murder. How's clever

In my opinion, this was certainly a startling write - the surprise ending was totally unexpected and therefore, compelling in conclusion. They rhyming rhythm was even and moved easily in the narration, smooth in flow and movement...

    Thank you Susan. Well it is a mystery but I have inside information that it is about a schizophrenic. Thank you for your nice review

Nice, I like this, great rhyming and meter on this. Sometimes I think criminals have to many rights in this country, I also believe crime and murder in this country is the highest than anywhere in the world. Thanks for the share and have a great day

    Hi William. Thank you for your nice review. Actually the murder capitals of the world are those Central American countries from which asylum seekers come to our Southern borders. Their rate is far higher than ours.
