'Nobody Even Guessed': A Poegle

Whatever the case, nobody even guessed that she could be dead. I was introduced as her niece, Allisa – I was anything but the young lady I presented. Her bloated, lifeless body was discovered six months ago.

Another ‘mass suicide’; thirty-nine dead bodies discovered by police in an antiseptic community. Two months in the compartments poisoned with mercury vapours. Obscure scenes. A town shocked.

He came over for dinner. He was definitely not stupid; spoke German without a trace of an accent. But I was an expert at masking it – nobody ever found out it was a real knife.

Still unsolved. And nobody even guessed.

This is me having a go at a poegle, a concept introduced to me by the lovey Terradoll. I used the phrase 'nobody even guessed', and was rather surprised when I ended up taking on the persona of a homicidal maniac... Interesting.
