Writing: Moment in Time - The Affair

He could feel his heart racing after their affair. God, nothing was hotter than fucking somewhere you're not supposed to. They had only been seeing each other for a month or so, and he knew that what they were doing would kill their respective partners, but he didn't care right now. The euphoria was running hot through his veins. The touch of skin on skin, pressed hard against the wall of the kitchen. . . suddenly he falls, his hand flying forward to brace himself. Snap, his wrist breaks. He cradles it to his chest in pain, looking backwards with tear-filled eyes. Shapes, coming towards him, he can't make out much more besides their number. Three. Three large shapes standing over him, close enough that his eyes can focus through the tears.

Slam, his head goes ripping to the side as one of the men hits him with a pipe. The other two rush forward and hold down his arms, gripping tight on his broken wrist. The man with the pipe ignores his cries and slides between his legs, a smile showing broken, yellowed teeth. He cries out, trying to get someone's attention, noticing for a moment a young girl run back towards one of the payphones on the edge of the park, when he feels the man enter him, over and over and over. He cries out, pain and horror washing over his body as they take turns with him, silencing any further cries with a swing of the pipe. Laying bloody and beaten, his vision slowly fading, he tries desperately to crawl away, somewhere, to his lover, when suddenly the pipe swings down one more...

"Sir?"

The detective looks up from the body of the young woman and glances to the young officer next to him, his eyes clouded with unshed tears. He realizes he has been staring at her for a long while now, the CSI were almost done with their investigation. He reaches into his coat and pulls out his pack of Newports and flicks open his zippo, his face illuminated by the flickering glow of the flame. He turns around and walks back to the squad car, his mind still picturing the last moments of the girl he once had an affair with.
