The Plan The majority of people in this world work in an office, and the majority of that group of people hate their jobs. Well, Stanley is not a part of the majority of the office workers; Stanley is different than the other workers. “Sure, working is not that bad,” Stanley states. On the other hand, when the other workers got asked about work they say, “Work? Payday is the only day of work that I like.” Not one person in work likes working other than Stanley, well except for one person. This one person is actually not that diligent, he is not skilled as well, but he gets a lot of money. This money of course, came from Stanley. John is his name. John gets the money because he knows something that no one else knows. This “something”, is a …show more content…

He tried to give it back, but he was in too deep in this thing, and besides, he didn’t want to lose his job. This is why he kept it as a secret that only he knew. Well, at least that’s what he thinks, because this one guy, John, knows about this. John figured this out because John saw the change in personality that had happened to Stanley; he also realized that Stanley’s bank account has increased drastically. “I know what you did,” said John. “What do you mean?” said Stanley who was shaking in terror. John crept up closer to Stanley and whispered, “You took the money, didn’t you?” Stanley, who was now paralyzed with fear replied, “I…it was an accident.” “Sure it was,” John replied sarcastically.

That being done, he will then intoxicate John with a few shots of Vodka. Now that that’s done, he will take John home through the road that leads to an intersection with the railway. There, he will finish him off by stabbing him with a knife that he will hide inside the jacket that he will be wearing. Then, he will tie John to the railway where the 8 o’clock train will pass through. He then remembered that he will need an alibi, which is why he will rewind the clock 5 minutes back beforehand. This is to make sure that his maid will be tricked into thinking that Stanley was there when the incident happened.
