“This doesn’t seem like the work of a human," commented the investigating officer, wiping the beads of perspiration from his forehead.
“Haven’t heard of any wild animals in the area,” said his mate.
Both exchanged a silent stare.
They were at the scene of the crime. The victim, a seventeen year old boy, had been discharged that very evening from a remand home for juvenile delinquents. Within a couple of hours, his mangled body had been discovered in the woods behind his house, stark naked, eyeballs upturned, entrails out.
A few blocks away, a paraplegic Mrs D’Souza chortled...for the first time since her daughter had been raped to death seven months ago, in the same woods.
Justice had been finally served!
