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.

I’m Sorry
They walked in and found me standing next to the body. A phone and the knife in one hand. A baby hitched on my hip in the other hand. They knew where to find me because I called them before and after. The problem was, they wouldn't come before.
Everything in my life is separated by this one instance. The before I was a murderer and the after. The lives of so many altered by that instant. The cuffs were big and kept slipping down my hands. I kept pushing them back into place. I knew what I had become.
