- Oh Ronald… I missed you so much, she whispered softly as we moved to the tune and the beat.
- Err, yeah, I missed you too, honey. The alcohol was wearing off and the guilt was weighing heavily on my mood. Take me home, honey… I needed to get mine while I could still live in the lie.
We left the club and jumped into a taxi. She whispered sweet meaningless nothings into my sobering ear but dawn was coming early for me and with it crushing guilt. This woman was obviously mad and I had played along for the ride I no longer wanted. I took twenty pounds out of my wallet, handed it to the driver and jumped out running into the spreading night and away from her vile shrieks of treachery.
------------------------------------
I sidled into the corner shop; a casual browse with the poignant knowledge that I’m a bit low on milk and need some brown sugar, its eight fifty two and the shop closes in about eight minutes. The woman at the till looks awful, worse than that, horrifying.
- Store’s closing now, sir, you’ll have to hurry up… You’re horrifying, don’t speak to me. I decided to vocalise this view.
- You’re horrifying, don’t speak to me. She’s staring at me with contempt and I deserve her contempt. I feel for the .45 I normally carry in the inside pocket of my coat and grip, smirking as I go.
One shot, two shots, three shots, four shots, five shots with each I step a little closer to her watching her face rip to shreds. I watch her jaw bone shatter, her skull break in, the charred skin flop over her neck and I keep on firing. I stare down at the stump her neck has now become, fuck, where did that come from? Oh well, I grab some milk and brown sugar and leave. There’s a guy running away from a taxi, tempting but, no.
