“Let’s
play a game,” Alturis said.
“Let’s,”
Megan answered.
“We’ll ask each other questions.”
“Great.”
“I’ll start,” Alturis told her, and
leaned forward. “So tell me, Megan
Cooper. What part of yourself would you
most like to kill?”
Megan had the feeling he asked all of
his victims this before he killed them.
Even so, she answered honestly, “My memory.”
Alturis sat back in his
chair. “That would be too bad,” he replied. “Because your memory is the only thing in
life you own.”
“I’ll sell it to you for cheap.”
“Fine. Sell it to me. Tell me why I would want it.”
“Because it might amuse you in
between murders?”
“But surely I must have a sample
first, correct?” Alturis said. “For
instance, when did you first realize you were in love with your neighbor?”
Megan shrugged. “I never was.”
“Then why do you look longingly
at his house?”
“Just remembering,” she
answered. “That’s all.”
