I can't really write in present tense most of the time without issues, so good on you. It's good to see you used past tense for the flashback just to balance things out as well.
Didn't really get scared though, but that's just me.
Um dialogue? Guess it's not really necessary, so just wondering.
Well cheers.

Whoah - the woman's mentally ill? Or perhaps she could've figured out that her husband sees another Mistress in the night? If that's the answer, you should show it, so the sudden killing of the man wouldn't seem so out of character.

Bur good descriptive writing nonetheless! You show such a talent, I'm sure you'll succeed.

ah - so this is the famous knitting needle story! It's certainly different; I rather like it. Only one complaint: you shouldn't have let the reader know the mother had murdered her husband before the flashback. But that's just me wanting to build up a litle more suspense. The way you did it works too. You'll email me about this writing thingy we're doing, yes? Just cuz it's February first, so I figured you had started already, and I plan to work on it tomorrow night, if you get me the info. But I'm too lazy to email/call you.

W00t!

see you soon,

guillemot

Most often people write in the past tense. You, however, use the present tense style wonderfully, which really helps distingush the now, from the excerpt of the murder, written in past tense. Very clever. Now, I might give a light complaint about adding a sentence or two together; don't let too many short, dynamic sentences overrun the story. Your sense of description is fantastic, and though the story is a little short on vocabulary, your style of description more than makes use of your current use of the English language. The final touch of leaving the motive to reader was refreshing compared to the many stories that beat you over the head with the plot's subtleties. All in all, bravo. Keep up the good work, and keep writing.

Cheers
