August Drabble Challenge: MURDER!
Tell me a story using good, solid prose in exactly 100 words. This month, tie it in to MURDER. Not necessarily the act itself, but that'll be fine, too; use your imagination. I want a super short story somehow related to doin' murder. No need to tag me, I'll read all the entries in September and select a winner.

The Inevitable
*buzz* *buzz*
I woke up to a call. A caller who had called many times before. She would call to offer to get dinner, or sometimes just to say ‘hello’. But tonight, the call was frantic. It had been dialed quickly. She was out of breath.
“It was an accident.” She said when I arrived.
Her apartment reeked of bleach and blood, and I didn’t know what to say. She had been my best friend. But now lying on her kitchen floor was her boyfriend bleeding out from the head.
Why had she called me? What help could I be?
