(If you guys don't mind, I'll move myself to the next day)

A day later

Saturday, 8:32 p.m.

I walked down the path flanked by level grass on either sides. I could hear the birds in the trees in the small wood nearby singing, and it seemed to be a nice day.

After a while, I sat on a bench located a few meters ahead. My legs needed a breather; I had been walking ever since I had entered this park about fifteen minutes ago. Apparently, it was for a morning walk (and some exercise, though I hadn't seriously considered it) and for some other things. I was going to muse over my affairs for the next few days. We'd be finishing the portions in a week or two, then the exams would come and I wouldn't be able to go out.

Maybe I could go and see my family in between. It had been long since I had seen them, and it would be really nice if -

My eyes caught the sight of a woman in the trees far ahead of me. I could see her face, and it seemed so familiar for a moment. Then the next moment she disappeared.

I casually shrugged it off. Then I stood up, and walked away from the area - I felt that something wasn't right.

I returned home quite earlier than I expected. Then I went over to my laptop, and opened the web browser. I searched the web for a particular article, and clicked on. Within seconds the webpage opened, I read the headline to make sure I was in the right place.

"Married Couple Found Dead, Allegedly Murdered by Only Daughter."

I cringed a bit. What a damn mind the journalists have. Nevertheless, I scrolled down, and found the photos of the three above-mentioned - the woman, the man, and the child.

My eyes widened. My heart seemingly skipped a beat or two. I leaned back in my office chair, bewildered.

If that was the woman I saw in the park, then how come she's still alive?
