Conscience – personal creative writing

He was dressed in a sluggish grey-green coat with dull checks. It reflected his character wish a murky pond and the apologue he was feeding me smelt the same. I didnt like his attitude. The way he leered at me with his nicotine yellow teeth and thin sharp lips. It made me feel really uncomfortable. Like I shouldnt be there. Id forgotten, as familiar that I wasnt invited. I noticed that as he repeated himself his gnarled fingers were ever whitening at the knuckles. His hair was greased back mangle his establishment as if hed put a vat full phase of the moon of chip fat on it. It made him look slimy and servicemanipulating.If hed been a well dressed man with a polite attitude I would not have given a second mentation to his wifes suicide. The man in front of me was showing no sign of remorse, not even the slightest bit of sadness. The emotions that float in the air catching normal mickle unawares must either bounce off his highly polished forehead or slide d profess the nape of his neck. The flat was quite puffy with a private elevator at the back. A desk sat in the middle of the room. It was an old fast(a) oak desk with two top draws and ink stains on the blotting paper.The worn out typewriter had the last written lyric of Mrs. Harrison stuck in it and sat there like a smug omen. People from forensics were buzzing about dusting this and capture up that. They made the place look like an ant colony. It is very distracting to have someone descry for the minutest thing out of the corner of your eye. I went to have a look round myself. All the furniture, as far as I could see was dating back to the late 1930s yet it was all in impeccable condition. Scattered on the shelves were objects and ornaments the couple had gathered from their short married life.China dogs, vulgar things, littered up the iron fire surround. On the mantelpiece slept two speakers, dusty with neglect. Something caught my eye. Two brass bookends. uncomplete of them particularly ae sthetic yet that wasnt what drew me to them. One was brown with dirt and grime, however the other was bracing as the day it as bought. I called everyplace Pete, a friend of mine in the forensics team. We were at college to botherher until I went over to the dark side as he would say. Pete is the type of guy you could quite comfortably fall in love with, if you allow yourself. His hair is tight and curly.The colour of midnight. Granted, his nose may be slightly out of proportion but the ocean blue colour of his eyes Deep, full with attention yet not deep enough to hide his soul. He told me he would take the bookends off for dusting and get back to me. I couldnt help but stare as he swaggered away in his own original style. The swagger that leaves all girls stranded Waking my self up I walked back to the beetling red settee where Mr Harrison was lounging. I was sitting on the arm of the chair, trying to spot an intelligent remonstrate from the ones reflected in his mirror forehe ad.I persuaded him to tell me a bit about his wife appearance. According to him she was of strength height, hourglass figure and full it the face. He got out a photo of her. She was really pretty. Her hair was sandy and vanish away with dark brown eyes and full lips. The complete opposite of her husband. That then began to arouse my suspicions of her vie away. I didnt address this issue straight away I felt it wasnt wise but I did ask what the professional relationship was between he and his wife. At this comment his attitude got blacker in one case more. He spoke bitterly of how she was clever and outgoing.She had been working as his accountant when they met and slowly weaved her way up to the administrator managers position. It was the way he said it that made your blood chill like an ice cube had adept been shoved down your back on a freezing winter day. There was certainly some jealousy going on. I could not fathom why a pretty intelligent girl could take to end her life s o suddenly and tragically. Couldnt she have just settled for divorce? Was he wakeless her? One thing was for sure this was no ordinary suicide. I had to find out what really happened prior that night.I bid good day to Mr Harrison and went to the front elevator. As I waited I tried to muzzle the sense out of this scene like the heavy contraption heaving itself up to the 18th floor. With the bing of the upbringing the cold air hit my face once more. The streets of LA are awesome. Especially at night. The rainfall pattered down as it had been threatening to do all day making the pavement shine like liquid silver. The starlight filled the roadside trees with a magical light like a thousand faeries having a party. A newspaper tickled my feet then went on its way to the next obstacle.Out of the corner of my eye I saw a crumpled heap, slumped in the doorway of a closed down chemists. It was partly well-lighted by the street light. The other part shadowy and ghost like yet remarkably there. It churns my nub to see these things. From somewhere in amongst the churning it became clear that this fellow might know something. I strolled over as casually as I could muster in the below zero temperature and crouched down beside him. His face was like a canvas of war his eyes hollow and lifeless. This guy didnt have a wiz dream or hope left to hang on to in the great pendulum of life.Hed let go just waiting for it to hit him on its inevitable return swing. He showed an utter disgust towards me once Id told him I was a detective. It made my job really hard. I had started off with a gentle maternal tone but I soon lost it to the wind. What is the point in trying to give these people respect if they judge you on face value and smell of dustbins and public toilets. He assured me that he was awake at the time I quoted and heard no scream. I hurried away as quickly as I could leaving him to mutter under his breath.
