So you spent April writing poetry (or stories) and are editing, but you want a break from breaking lines. How about breaking a romance trope? Make your soulmates the targets of each other’s desire to kill the other. Perhaps it was a bad roommate situation, an ancient family curse, a harsh book review or an open mic fight to death.
Choose one of the suggestions here, or come up with your own trope. Perhaps you want to make your redshirt the killer, bring back dinosaurs just so you can kill them again or create a dystopia where everyone hates having too much food, comfort and freedoms. If you need more ideas or want a different genre, check out https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Tropes
And if you need a little more realism or what should be fiction, here is this news story: https://www.thegazette.com/crime-courts/former-university-of-iowa-hospital-employee-used-fake-identity-for-35-years/
And here below is a possible hero for your story, someone I think who totally deserved to get away.
Good luck writing! Have fun!
