SUSPENSE
Alfred Hitchcock, direct of movie mystery thrillers, stepped into a New York hotel elevator with a friend and immediately began, talking as though continuing a conversation:
"So I turned on the light and there was this girl in the middle of the floor. Her throat was slit and there was a great puddle of blood. Beside the body was a knife. I was in a spot.
