The Secret Killer
by Donovan Wilson
- Text source is from CRAM.
CRACK! The flaming hot bullet hit Jenna Harrison in the back of her head. Her head was pushed forward from the impact of the bullet as the gunman shoved her to the ground forcefully. Reaching behind him, the killer took the blade from out of his pants back pocket and started to go to work on the body. The blade forcefully ripped inside the body 9 times until the killer was satisfied. Red velvet colored blood was pouring from Jenna Harrison’s back as the killer wiped the blood off the knife onto Jenna’s shirt and placed it back in his back pocket.
Of course, the killer felt bad for what he was doing, but he didn’t have any other option. The killer started to scan the area making sure there weren’t anyone coming or looking out their window just yet. The killer began to evaluate the murder scene, the victim had on a Target uniform obviously because she was going to work. Her hair looked out of place and her uniform shirt was a cherry Kool-Aid color from the stab wound in her back. Also, Jenna Harrison had car keys in her hand. The killer assumed she was heading for her cool colored 1996 Nissan Altima.
The killer smoothly took the car keys out of Jenna Harrison’s hands without noticeably moving her fingers. The killer rushed to the Nissan and opened the doors. Shakily, the killer shoved the keys in the ignition without breaking them. With a sound similar to a vacuum the car started and he sped out of the development without hesitation.

Evidence of Evolution
There are two ways of estimating the age of fossils – relative dating absolute dating. For relative dating, the deeper the rock layer, the older the rock and the older the rock layers within the rock. Younger fossils are found in the more recent upper layers of the rock formations. Depending on the depth the rocks are found in the rock layers, scientists can estimate the relative period during which these organisms lived. This method of fossil dating is best used with undisturbed rock layers. If a geologist can determine the age of the layers above and below the fossil, a relative date range can be made.
