Someone’s knee pressed forcefully on her spine and pressed her to the floor, her face suddenly seemed to be burned by something light and airy, this light and airy thing slid onto her neck and formed a noose... The noose began to tighten, suffocation squeezed her chest, Alechka wheezed , began to convulse, stretched out in a string and fell silent - the noose loosened, the silk scarf with a slight rustle seemed to flow from her throat. Hasty steps followed towards the exit from the apartment, the front door slammed, and everything became silent. Alya coughed convulsively, took several deep, hasty, hoarse breaths, rolled over on her back and stared blankly at the ceiling, unable to believe that her dubious role was useful to her not in the movies, but in reality. It seems that today she played her best role - the killer believed her and left!
