How to kill

Have you ever had a day where you really wanted to kill someone? I don't mean anybody specific, but just wanting to feel somebodys life force leave their body as you wrest it from them. Thats how i feel right now. I'm not gonna kill somebody tonight. I got low gas and i have bills to pay coming up. So i'll just write about it.
First i need a subject. They need to be rather unsuspecting, so either a stranger or a close personal friend. Given the circumstances, anybody outside is probably thinking about the possibility of getting mugged, so lets choose a personal friend. This is perfect. Since they are a close personal friend, I know where they live, their number, their habits, and can anticipate their actions. Also, say i'm seen, their first reaction is not to call the policew or be fearful; on the contrary, they shall be open and inviting, wondering what is wrong(how little they know...)

Now that a person category has been established, it is now time to prioritize. It would be a good idea to choose somebody not living withing my normal circle of friends, so it must be somebody living out of reynoldsburg, and somebody who, while we are close, i am not seen in their normal area on a regular basis.
Now that locale is chosen, i onle need to pick the most convenient and least diffucult to remove. Their persona should be somewhat insecure about themselves, probably someone on an extreme: introvert or extrovert. Also, there shuld be somebody with reason to kill the target. (i have no motive save the joy of death) Maybe a jealous significant other, enemy, a used best friend etc.
The murder shuld be done at their home, where they feel most secure. And since they are a god friend, I could even be invited over, and since i have no problems with the target, motive could not be established.
Night time would be best. Its more dramatic, plus the cover of night. The weather should be rainy to help cover tracks.

Now the method. I'd prefer something face to face. Tie them down spread eagle upside down and hang them from the wall. All i would need is some two by fours rope and screws. After i tellthem its nothing personal, i break their shins. Hearing them scream, I'll pull out a scalpel anda pair of strong spreaders. Cutting the muscle and skin on their chest, i'll unfold their torso like a book, exposing the ribcage. Using the spreaders, I'll crack open and sread their ribcage open, exposing their heart. I'llthen grab their hand in mine, and use it to rip their own heart out of their chest, drinking from it like a chalice in front of them, their last life's spark fading behind eyes soaked with blood. Then i'd pour cooking oil over them, and leave a trinket that one of my friends so often leave behind at the apartment. Then on the way home I'll mail the heart to coney island.
The next morning, i'll get up, get ready for work, and continue with life.

And now a story.

It chanced upon a summer's day,
Within a deep wood far away,
There wandered forth a little child
Midst flowers and birds and breezes wild.

Now running here, now resting there,
As bright, as light, as free as air,
The happy little Hyacinth strayed,
From flower to flower, by sun and shade.

A wind called Zephyr saw him pass
With skipping feet across the grass,
And ran before and clung behind,
And strove his tripping feet to bind.

Because the Zephyr loved him so,
He would not let that fair child go,
But kept beseeching, "Stay, and be
A little playfellow to me!"

Still Hyacinth had naught to say,
Nor would he with the Zephyr stay,
But skipped aside and left the wind
Another playfellow to find.

And next the sun up in the air
Caught sight of Hyacinth's shining hair,
As Hyacinth ran the tall trees under,
And King Apollo paused in wonder.

"Stop! Hyacinth," cried King Apollo,
"You run too quick for me to follow;
One little minute wait for me,
And I your playfellow will be."

Because Apollo from the blue
Had fallen in love with Hyacinth too,
So down he came with smiling face
And stayed upon a mossy place.

There sun and child in merry play
Sported full many an hour away,
"Who can throw farthest, you or I?
This ring I'll cast, then you shall try."

But Zephyr, creeping round about,
Spied their pleasant pastime out,
Which made him angry feel and sore,
And he grew angrier more and more,

Until a cruel purpose grew,
And he determined what to do;
His wicked will at once consenting
Unto the crime of his inventing.

For as the King, in act to fling,
Raised high in air the iron ring,
Zephyr ran and took his stand
Just underneath Apollo's hand.

Thence blew the ring back swift and straight,
Steady and strong with all its weight,
So that it struck on Hyacinth's head,
And lo! the pretty child fell dead!

Then all about the leafy wood
There streamed out Hyacinth's purple blood,
Which wrote in letters sad and plain,
"Woe! Woe! for Hyacinth is slain!"

Back to the sky Apollo flew,
And far away the Zephyr blew;
But on the ground where Hyacinth died
Sweet flowers grew and multiplied.

Hyacinths that, with happy faces,
Still beautify earth's lonely places,
Loved by the sun and breezes wild,
In memory of the winsome child.

Answer the phone. It might be me.
Sweet dreams.

The jewel

ok. very odd. I was daydreaming ( i know its night, but i was awake...) and i was walking along the beach, with a treasure floating, just beyond my reach. I knew not why, but the jewel was the only thing that mattered to me. I needed it, and as I strove to grasp it, A genie issued from it, who told me that someday i could gain the treasure. I tried as hard a I could, doing anything i could. Then ohers came, trying to grasp the jewel from me. I would not let them. Then I saw a good friend, and he was in need, so I let him ahead of me. he came up, and then allowed me passage, only to pluck the jewel from my grasp as my fingers were about to close around it. I fall, what seems forever. Before I hit the sand, I hear the genie say that I never had a chance and laughed at my tears. The universe then exploded around me, the shards piercing my soul. As I die, I see the jewel, it beckons me, but i cannot move to grasp it, and it's radience is my last vision.

The Bigger Man

This is the story a group of friends and their trials of love. It may deal with teenagers, but that doesn't mean that the feelings are any less there than in any other relationship. The trial of love we will focus on is the love of Bernard towards Anastasia. Like any classic story, this plot also as a villain, the one in this story being the infamous Peter. Peter and Bernard had been best enemies since the seventh grade. I say best enemies because that never liked each other, but worked together so well they couldn't ignore the fact. Now, I am getting a little ahead of myself. Why don't we take a look at how events unfold? Here comes Bernard and Anastasia walking down the hall now.

Bernard: What do you have to do after school today?

Anastasia: The usual. Math homework, Government, and that short story due tomorrow in creative writing.

Bernard: quite the slacker, aren't you?

Anastasia: (smiling) Shut up you butthead! (slaps Bernard)

Bernard: (laughing) ok ok. You win. Want some help later on your math homework?

Anastasia: Sure. I'll meet you in the library after 8th period and go to my house. That ok?

Bernard: Just fine with me.

(Peter walks up)

Peter: Hellllllllllo!

Bernard: Yo.

Anastasia: Hi Peter. How are you?

Peter: Oh just wonderful. I've got this need to sing…(whisks Anastasia off her feet and dances to an imaginary tune. Anastasia is laughing. Bernard smiles complacently and sits in a corner)

Bernard: (to self) Well, those two sure make a happy couple. He's always outgoing, and she eats it right up. I'll never be able to do that. Lucky him. If only he weren't so damn annoying…

Anastasia: Bernard?

Bernard: Huh? Wha?

Anastasia: I've been calling your name now for like 5 minutes. Are you ok? You've seemed kinda down lately.

Bernard: What do you mean down?

Anastasia: well, ever since like two weeks ago, you've been awful quiet and brooding.

Bernard: (thinking) That was the time Peter told me he liked you and wanted my help. (aloud) It's nothing. Just some personal problems. Nothing to worry about.

Anastasia: Ok…. You'll let me know if there's anything I can do, right?

Bernard: You'll be the first to know.

Anastasia: (giving him a hug) I'll always be here for you if you need me.

Bernard: (thinking) this just makes it harder and harder to do. I promised Peter I'd set you two up, and yet right now everything just seems so right… I can't do this (breaks hug) (aloud) thanks for the assurance. I appreciate that. (glances at clock) I've gotta run. My next class is really far away.

(hurries off, almost in tears)

8th period

It's now time for Anastasia and Bernard to do math. She picks him up from the side of the school and I driving him over to her house. Bernard has just remembered his promise to Peter

Bernard: Hey Anastasia. I've got a question.

Anastasia: Shoot.

Bernard: Do you and Peter have anything going on between you two?

Anastasia: No, we're just friends. Nothing more. (looks at Bernard) Why?

Bernard: No reason. Watch out for the road.

Anastasia narrowly misses a rabbit. It breaks the tension in the air, and the two continue talking. They do return home and do math until about 10 or so in the evening. Things seem to be going well for Bernard, and he forgets all about Peter. He's even almost mustered the courage to ask Anastasia out himself.

Next Day

Bernard comes strolling to school, feeling like a million dollars. He's ready to pop the question to Anastasia. He's going to ask her out. That is, he was until he sees the cafeteria. There, in his seat, is Anastasia and Peter, kissing. Gritting his teeth, he walks up.

Bernard: good morning all. Did I miss any excitement?

Peter: Yeah. Anastasia and I are going out.

Bernard: Good luck. I wish you both happiness.

Peter: Too bad the bigger man won, huh?

Bernard: Call it what you will. Nothing lasts forever.

Peter: What exactly do you mean by that?

Bernard: I'll wait as long as needed. Till then however, I step down.

Anastasia: Excuse me, what are you two talking about?

Peter: Don't worry about it. Guy stuff. You wouldn't understand.

Anastasia: Wouldn't understand, huh?

Bernard: He's right. Its too complex for anybody to solve. Oh well, nothing wrong with being just friends. Take care you two.

Emotinally distraught, Bernard writes a letter to Anastasia, expressing how he feels for her. In it he expressed how he felt and, no matter what Peter may say, he knows in his heart that he is the bigger man, not Peter. Once the letter was written, Bernard closed his windows, took a bunch of his mother's sleeping pills, and passed away peacefully in the night, with one thought on his mind: Love conquers all, but a broken heart conquers love.

Break wisely.

I can't

Thats it. I've hurt the one I care deeply for. I can't do this.

I can't.

I'm pierced, and cannot move the shaft.

I can't.

I wish i could say good bye.

I can't.

I want to give up.

I won't.

I will not hurt whom I love anymore.

Never more.
