Rain poured over the windshield in heavy waves, water sloshing and splattering across the glass as the wiper blades did their damnedest to keep up.  Yet it was too much for them, like someone was pouring a continuous bucket of water onto your car as you struggled to navigate the back roads home.  The other drivers made it worse, their headlights burning bright through the downpour while they sped through puddles of water that seemed to grow bigger and bigger with each passing minute. Despite it being hard to see, much less drive, the ride was comfortable.  One would normally feel on edge when commuting through a thunderous storm where violen

THUNK! You stared in horror as the man's head bounced on the ground, smile still wide on his face before it had registered it's decapitation. THUNK!! His sliced neck hit the floor first then jumping slightly like a ball, bouncing two more times before rolling under an empty table and out of sight. It took a few tense moments to pull your gaze away from the shadowed booth where the unseen head rested and when you finally turned away you realized there was nothing but chaos now. After watching one of their buddies get executed, headless body still sitting in the booth, they attacked.  One of the few who had brought his musket to the dining c

You stared down at you lap the whole car ride home, hands folding and unfolding while the driver up front kept silent.  You didn’t mind though, you needed the silence or you were sure your thoughts wouldn’t fit together right. It was just all so much to take in.  Too much for a girl who had barely just started high school. You weren’t prepared for this at all today.  No one would after what you had just learned. The car pulled up to your house, the drive feeling much shorter on the way home then it had been on the way to the restaurant.   You moved to open the door but it was done for you, another man in a suit moving to

The steaming bowl of noodles was placed down on the table, along with a small plate of lumpy dumplings just as the teen had asked for.  You had helped him into the kitchen chair before you went to prepare dinner.  You weren't a master chef but you could always make a decent bowl of ramen and it seemed to be good enough for the boy who sat up straight the instant the smell wafted through his nose. You smiled, glad to see he was able to sit up and gestured towards the meal.  "I hope you-" He moved like lightning, grabbing the pot of noodles instead of one of the empty bowls you had brought and started to gulp the whole thing down while he use

Nothing could hurt as much as this.  Nothing in all of your life would ever be this painful.  It was like you were falling down and down into a deep despair as seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks passed.....It was never ending. You sat in a daze, wearing a black dress and staring at nothing.  That's all you could do as people milled about and spoke in soft whispers, trying to be careful when around you. "So sudden-" "Nothing could be done." "Poor dear." You didn't even register them.  You didn't want to.  Their pitying gazes only made you feel pathetic and worse about everything.  You looked down at your lap, spotting a very small tear in

You weren't going to do it.  No way.  Nu-uh.  Foooooooorget it!!! Wrap, wrap.  Crinkle. If anything, you were going to avoid it all together!!  It seemed to be the only way. Tape.  Crinkle.  Fold. Yes, definitely the only way. Fold, fold.  Crinkle.  Tape. You smoothed down the brown paper before you stuck on the last piece of tape, stretching the clear strip down over the corner like an expert gift wrapper.  Smiling, you picked up the wrapped item and nodded, deeming it a job well done. No one would be able to tell this was Killer's shirt.  It looked unassuming and boring, just the way you wanted it.  You could walk down the hallway wi
