Excerpt
While holding her by her hair he placed his other hand around her neck. She gagged as he lifted her back up to the bed. His hold was so tight, she could not scream out for help.
Straddling her, he put both hands around her neck and tightened his fingers even though his injured hand hurt. Her face turned red as she swung her arms out. The savage rage in him had her pleading for her life, but he squeezed his hands tighter until her eyes were bulging out of their sockets. Even when she went limp, he kept his hold tight. He couldn’t stop.
Finally, he let go. When he stood up, he looked down at her lifeless body lying there with her head hanging over the side of the bed, her eyes wide open. “Now see how much the asshole likes you.”
He stood over her for several minutes before realizing what he’d done. At first he couldn’t think straight, but he knew she was dead and he had to get out of there. No one saw him come in and the only other person who was there with her that night was the jerk she’d been fucking. He could pull it off and leave before anyone saw him there.
I'm sure a lot of people get a thrill out of reading stuff like this, but it's not for me. It shouldn't be classified as science fiction because there is no scientific proof of out of body experience. Only anecdotal stories enhanced by fiction like yours. It would better be labeled paranormal or fantasy.
