The Paradox

1. Use the following 5 words: suddenly reasons sending properly killing

"I have my reasons." Prin folded his arms, and looked away.

Calti kept silent, waiting for Prin to look back at him. He'd already said everything he could, and knew anything more would just be repeating the same arguments. He had to get Prin to explain.

"Sending her there wasn't this random idea, it just wasn't properly planned. We didn't have time, the killing started so suddenly."

Calti nodded when he saw Prin glance his way, but still said nothing.

2. Write about a lie or piece of deception.

Prin fell silent again, and Calti waited. Surely Prin would continue trying to justify himself. He tried to keep the anger off his face. He needed Prin's confession, needed it for legal, needed it for her family. Needed it for himself.

A flicker of eyes toward the door told Calti that Prin wasn't through, but wanted to be. He leaned back in his chair, keeping his eyes on Prin.

"What's done is done," Calti finally said. "What I'm interested in is the reasoning she went out with. It may help us figure out what happened."

3. Use the phrase "I remember when we met."

Prin nodded, and looked down.

"The idea - I remember when we met them. Even then they didn't seem quite normal. The plan, unfinished, but anyway, the plan was to take advantage of the ways they didn't think like us. We'd been watching them for a while, trying to figure out their assumptions, and how they seemed to be expecting us to act. That's what we started from - throwing them into a loop by doing something they wouldn't think of, wouldn't think we'd actually do even if the evidence said we did it."
