Words blurred in and out of Delia’s focus. She slammed the book into her lap and glared towards the younger woman bound by ropes in the backseat.
“See, this is our problem. You never shut up.”
The woman blinked as the statement hit her but the gag prevented her from responding.
“Even now I can just hear you whining.”
The woman stared towards the slouching fabric above her despondently.
“I thought we were friends.” Delia mocked. “You know you can’t have friends in this business.”
The woman sighed.
“Whatever. It doesn’t matter. Tomorrow I’ll pretend I never knew your name.”

Delia is a madwoman, she couldn’t be friends with anyone in any business. Scary story and such a sad fate for the younger woman.
Very true. Thank you for reading and commenting
You just never know when someone might get pushed too far!

You’ve described a sociopath quite well. Not all of them turn to violence–in fact, most do not. But the lack of empathy, the coldness, the despite for a weaker person, are all so typical of the sociopath. Chilling, this story, and not much hope for the victim.
That’s a good point that sociopaths aren’t always violent. Thank you for reading and commenting.
Delia is one merciless woman.
She is, thank you for reading
Thank you. Wonderful story with good pointers!
Delia sounds like a real piece of work. Glad I don’t know her.
Be careful, she might try to slither into your stories. Thanks for reading
