Ms. Hanson

“Is this the Hanson’s residence?”, asked the police officer.
“Yes, is everything okay?”, asked Ms. Hanson.
“We have a warrant to search your house for the awful smell coming from your residence and we have report sightings of a little girl in the attic window, we just want to make sure everything is under control” he said.
“Yes officer, come on in”, she said.
“Do you live in this house by yourself Ms. Hanson?” he asked.
“Yes”, she answered.
As he walked up the attic steps he could smell the horrid stench of human flesh rotting. The floorboards creaked and cracked, when the officer noticed a little girl around the age thirteen trapped in a dog cage smothered in her own feces. He found a syringe of Potassium chloride, which is used in euthanasia, and placed on the floor by the girl’s cage. The police officer was in total shock. Draped over the little girls body was a striped blanket. He quickly ran down the attic steps and without hesitation drew his gun. The officer cuffed Ms. Hanson and read her rights.
“You lied to me Ms. Hanson! You said there was no one else living in this residence. Why would you do that to a poor innocent child?”
“I didn’t lie, she isn’t living. I just didn’t want anyone to know I had a child.”
