Audience: My Friends

Character: A man shaving off his beard

Setting: A room where someone has died

At the scene of the crime was an old man, with the most rugged look. His face was filled with fear as a dead man lay beside him. However, that’s not the only thing that filled his face. His face was filled with the longest beard I have ever seen. In fact it was so much hair that if he ended up cutting it off, you probably would have never recognized him. When the police came and tried to arrest him, he resisted. He fought until he used every single ounce of his energy and until the police just knocked him out. Into the jail cell the bearded man went, being accused of murder. Since there were no witnesses, no one knew what actually happen, or they thought there were no witnesses. I can say that I was the only witness. I saw the whole accident happen through my 12^th floor window. Soon after the bearded man was arrested, he was put into questioning. The detectives beat the bearded man to get answers out, however we refused to respond. As days, months, years passed as the man just rotted in jail. His facial hair grew so long that you could only see his eyes. In the Indianapolis prison is where he resided. One day after school, I turned on the TV. Breaking news was everywhere, and It was all about the same thing. The bearded man had escaped. The bearded man uses his beard to his advantage. According to police officials the bearded man shaved so no one would recognize him, and then he killed assassinated a police officer to escape wearing his uniform. So, now people are struck with fear, and are always cautious of bearded men. But I know the truth. The bearded man was just about to start shaving, as one of his closest friends tried to pull a prank and scare him. His friend snuck up on him and acted like a mugger. He said,” move or die.” Out of reflex the bearded man just turned around and struck the man, not knowing it was his own friend. When people are worried of a murderer on the loose, I am not. I know the bearded man committed a accident.
