[00:12.90]A Preface to Murder

[00:15.63]Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. 

[00:21.43]Sometimes life deals us a bad hand. 

[00:25.26]Sometimes it is hard to go on. 

[00:28.98]Sometimes evil triumphs over good.

[00:32.80]Nancy sighed heavily as 

[00:35.98]she pulled her daughter’s 

[00:37.51]diary from the drawer. 

[00:38.93]She leaned forward to 

[00:41.01]examine the familiar writing. 

[00:42.87]A postcard with a colored sketch 

[00:45.71]fell onto the floor from the book. 

[00:48.45]The drawing was a picture 

[00:50.75]of a long curved sandy beach 

[00:53.15]on a tropical island; 

[00:54.90]of course it would be Montserrat. 

[00:57.65]She felt clumsy as 

[01:00.71]she knelt to retrieve¹ the picture. 

[01:03.22]Under no circumstances could 

[01:06.18]she forgive or forget the criminals 

[01:08.47]who tortured her beautiful Megan. 

[01:10.77]It was difficult not to 

[01:14.49]feel bitter about the events 

[01:16.24]of the preceding year. 

[01:17.88]She grabbed a tissue to 

[01:20.61]wipe away the tears that 

[01:22.15]came to her eyes. 

[01:23.57]She had shed so many tears 

[01:26.19]in the past year 

[01:28.39]since her daughter’s murder. 

[01:29.59]Nancy recognized that she was 

[01:32.43]suffering from psychological problems 

[01:34.73]and had really become indifferent 

[01:37.46]to the events in her daily life. 

[01:40.42]She began to shake 

[01:42.82]and then to weep. 

[01:44.36]When would there be an answer 

[01:46.44]to this damn nightmare?
