I froze, they were silver with a narrow, black slit down the middle. A predator’s eyes. I was seen and made. Panic welled up in my throat as the cre...ture closed in.Try as I might to look away, the eyes held me, unblinking. Then, that velvet voice filled my ears, “How do you think I killed her?”My mind reeled at the question. I recalled the woman not answering and being in pain. How could questions kill?
