If Her Eyes Could Talk( Freedom's 400 Ficlets Challenge)

One thing was certain, Miranda was dead. How she died was evident. But who killed her and why was the sixty four thousand dollar question.

Detective Mark Lee looked into the beautiful blue eyes of the deceased lying on the wet bathroom floor of her penthouse apartment.

Before the CSI crew arrived with their equipment Det. Lee bent down and looked into the woman’s lifeless opened eyes and tried to image what was the last thing she ever saw.

Scientists once believed that imprinted on the iris of the dead was the last thing they ever saw in life.

What Miranda saw was someone wielding a knife, plunging it deep within her twenty or thirty times. Such hatred and viciousness.
Yet her eyes remained sparkling blue.
“Who did this to you?”, Det. Lee asked her, as he stood over her body.

Her eyes would haunt him till long after this case was solved.
He would find her murderer if it took him the rest of his life to do it.
“If her eyes could talk..”, Det. Lee said aloud.
