"All around the labyrinth, the killer chased the victim. The victim ran into a dead end. Pop goes the victim!"

Jack chuckled, watching his little sister run about the yard. He had gone almost a month without incident. It's a shame it had to come to this, he thought. This crop had been good, lasted them through the month, but it was starting to run low. It's not like he wanted to hurt her. She's so sweet, so innocent. Poor Amber, Jack thought bitterly, but it's either her or me. She was always kind to him, always appreciative. It pained him, having to do this, but he had to avoid suspicion. That nosey reporter, what was her name? Miss… Kennith, perhaps? Yes, that's the one. She was always poking in his business. Maybe she could be this month's crop.
