My first activity in Vancouver

2 weeks ago, Jane told us that playing bowling on wednesday. I hadn't played bowling for ages.
after morning class I went to our class room. there were some students waiting for Jane. few minute later, We started to the Lanes.
when I arrived the Lanes, I was very surprised because balls are small and pins are just 5. I had never played. and Lights were like a club. so dark and some stage lighting.
I was mesmerizing my self. 'Just for fun. don't panic'
in the end I had a good time.

It was early morning. I was driving all night to get to Sheila before she could leave for South America.

I got to the hotel at 6 a.m. I checked that Sheila hadn't returned from the nightclub and I went up to her room.

As I was going upstairs, I heard someone else going to the desk.
I wondered if someone had followed me to the hotel. I waited to see who it was, but after a few words with the clerk, they just left again.

When I was sure they had gone, I slipped into Sheila's room. As she wasn't there, I had plenty of time to prepare

When Sheila came in, I was waiting for her.

She didn't look surprised when she saw me. Someone had told her to expect me.

She gave me a drink. I drank it. I felt a pain in my stomach and fell on the floor.


'Now you'll never tell anyone that I killed Floosie Moore,' she said. But it wasn't important; she had confessed and I had hidden microphones all over the room.
