Chapter 1

Mel's POV
I walk into work; I'm now a post office assistant. My new job y'see? New house, new town. New everything. Just what I need.
"Hey...I'm Juliet" Says a young girl behind the desk.
"Hi, I'm Mel...your new boss." I say putting my bag on the counter. I brush my black hair behind my ear. Juliet smiles and you ask her:
"So, what's it like here then? Tashmoore Lake..." I sit down at my desk.
"It's okay I guess, but watch out there is some psycho in the woods." Juliet says seriously. I laugh uncontrollably.
"What!" Juliet yells angrily.
"That sounds so funny? Do you realise that?" I say, looking at an awful lot of paperwork. Then the door opens and a guy probably in his thirties walks in. Juliet blushes and looks down at her paperwork and starts writing.

Mort's POV

I need to collect that letter, yeah.. Not my fault that i have to go into town to get it. That old sheriff is gonna just have to deal with it, I grin. I get into the jeep and drive down into town. Go into the post office. As I walk in there is a new girl, black her probably in her 20's. She's looking confused and Juliet is bright red with embarrassment, and she seems to be writing.
"Hey," I say to the new girl. She stands up, beaming smile on her face.
"I'm Melanie...new here." She says. Her voice is like wow. And her smile.
"Well, hello Melanie. I'm Mort Rainey."
"Oh my god, it's you! I thought I recognised you!"
"You read my books?"
"Yeah, i love them! Secret Window is my favourite..." She said staring at me. She was very beautiful, her long black silky-soft hair and her dark brown eyes.
"I'm glad you like it my dear..." I say with a seductive smile. She started giggling incessantly.
"Look pal, you want the letter or not?" Juliet said irritably.
"I do...can Melanie give me it?" I say, winking at Mel.

Mel's POV

I hand him the letter. It was more like a parcel. He winked at me. Wow.
"There you go Mr Rainey." I grin at him.
"Call me Mort."
"Okay Mort."
His dark brown eyes glinted. I couldn't believe it; I'd actually talked to Mort Rainey. The best writer, ever.
"Anyway, I must be going...I'll catch you later, huh?" He said
"Yeah, sure. Bye!" I waved after him. The door made a loud clunk and he was gone.
"That's the psycho..." Juliet said bitterly. She stared at me, she looked angry.
"He's not a psycho! He's a brilliant writer, and he's rather good looking!" I said. Thinking about Mort's blonde-brown hair and his dark brown eyes.
"He killed his wife!" She yelled. I felt like I couldn't breathe.

Mort's POV

I have a sneaking suspicion, that you quite like the new post office girl...huh Mr Rainey?
I barely know her shooter...what do you think i am?
Yeah...but you think she's purdy.
I do...I do...
Maybe, you should invite her over; get to know the lil missy better…
Maybe I should.
