Fear is a liar, don’t listen to it.

I head into the bar after cleaning the second floor. It was a complete mess which makes me wonder if they had a party last night I wasn’t privy to. Everyone knows to clean up after themselves, and they’re old enough to be held accountable for their actions or lack thereof. I’m getting to the point where I wanna put anyone who isn’t doing their damn job in a chokehold

I’m a clubwhore, not a damn maid. It’s about time everyone around here realized this shit. Guess I should be grateful for Iris and Faith, though. These two southern belles just wanna help wherever they can. Sometimes, they get stepped on in the process.

I head straight up to the bar, sitting on one of our seriously outdated barstools. It’s so hard my ass feels like I’m sitting on a rock. Faith comes over with a glass of vodka. I don’t need anything fancy. Hell, most of the time, I don’t even want ice in it. I’d drink it straight from the bottle if it wasn’t frowned upon.

“Have you heard? Another pour soul was found,” she says, looking to the TV in the corner of the room where subtitles are coming up about the series of murders.

“Same place?”

“No, this time it was that small marina right off Grand Central Parkway,” Faith tells me, and I know the place she’s talking about. It has a really small beach, and it’s in a really nice area too. So, whoever is doing this is now changing the location of where they’re dropping their victims' bodies.

“Do the police not have a single lead? I don’t understand what the fuck they’re doing.”

“To be honest, I don’t think so. They keep asking for the public’s help in identifying who’s behind this, but the news station said today a group of individuals is doing this. They read the letter they received over the air before they turned it over to the police.”

“Wait, what happened?” I inquire, taking a sip of my drink.

“They got a letter in the mail yesterday and aired it on the news last night. Every now and again they replay it. To sum it up, a group of individuals is determined to wash away the sinful women who are creating our overpopulation problem.”

I stare at Faith for a second, trying to wrap my head around what she’s just said. “So, overpopulation is suddenly being blamed solely on women?”

“Yep, cause you know, women are the only ones it takes to have a baby.”

Rolling my eyes, I say, “Fucking ridiculous.”

“Yeah, it sounds to me like this is a group of extremists finding an excuse to murder innocent women. Think about it, these girls are walking alone at night, usually from the club or a bar. That’s how these people grab them. All of the women, who they’ve grabbed, have been unmarried, so it looks to me like they’re picking whomever they deem to be slutty from the side of the streets.”

I shake my head, baffled at this shit.
