Ethan Evans was lost in a daze, the strong smell of blood filling his nostrils, the image of a young girl lying on the operating table and the pools of blood on the floor still fresh in his mind.
Memories he had intentionally forgotten came flooding back.
She was his first girlfriend, back when they were in high school. He was always playful, never giving much importance to love affairs. If he liked a girl, he would pursue her, and after getting her into bed, he would abandon her.
He would then make the girls take pills to avoid unwanted consequences.
But pills are not always effective, and unintended consequences were inevitable at times.
They were both students, without any money, and were too afraid to tell their parents.
The girl was crying dreadfully, which made him feel annoyed.
"Ethan, maybe we should tell our parents. I'm really scared. If it comes to worse, we can just have the baby," she suggested.
