Michel leiris, la gorge coupée
I knew that something was wrong. Mrs. Barbara lives here since six years and I can tell you that I never see her, she never gets out from her house ! Personally, I live here since ten years with my husband and my children, and she has always seemed to us strange. Look, Barbara is all along the day standing in front of the window, examining the neighbour’s life and the passers. Once, six years ago, she rang at the door. I opened, and she asked me if I could land her a saw. It was really suspicious, because she had nothing to saw, no trees, no wood !
I told her that I couldn't because my husband still needed it. Besides, it was weird, and even terrifying ! So she thanked me, with her usual large smile, and she's gone. Three days later, I hear the sound of a saw in one of the bedrooms ! I admit it scared me...
But the most bizarre track dates three years ago... Someone, a young man who seemed to be in his twenties, rang at her door, after looking at the small notice on which it's written Break & Breakfast, in capital letters, which strangely attracted, and even hypnotized him.
On the first second he pressed the bell, Barbara appeared, like a jack-in-the-box, as if she knew that someone would ring. The most terrifying is that no one has ever seen him. Missing. Anyway, he appeared in the newspaper. I knew, I knew that it was her... That it was Barbara who killed him. I knew it. How dumb I am
