Blood Love

Oh, Canada

As I drove I replayed her murder in my mind. I thought shooting was fun but using a knife was

much more intimate. Orgasm worthy, as I sighed in remembrance. I stopped at a rest stop to change

my clothes and wash away the blood. I threw the knife in the lake and my clothes in a nearby dump

truck. Gun in the trash. I smiled as I counted my money – 1600 dollars- I could go anywhere. So I

grabbed my go bag from my trunk and stuck my money with my passport. I was off to the airport for

their next available flight.

As I pulled into the airport I quickly wiped off the steering wheel, shifter and handles and made

my way inside. For eight p.m. it was surprisingly slow for an L.A. airport. I bought my ticket to

Quebec. Round trip for possible confusion if I was suspected. The flight was for six a.m. so I

wandered aimlessly for a while before claiming a bench and waiting for sleep.

I awoke around 5 to a small wave of people around me – I wanted to kill them all... I smirked at

the thought as I glanced up at the TV. There were two murders last night – miles apart and

gruesome but unrelated... yet. No suspects were had yet either. I stood up and stretched my sore

muscles as I made my way to the restrooms. To my relief nobody was inside. I locked the door and

crept to the mirror to stare at my reflection.

My hair was a mess so I tied it casually behind my back. My eyes – ivy green – looked sallow in the

fluorescent light. I licked a small fleck of dried blood from the corner of my lips and splashed cool

water over my face. I looked hard at the reflection of myself. I looked normal (whatever that meant) I

didn’t look like some serial killer. Some monster who took the life of a stranger and an acquaintance.

I looked innocent – an innocent girl someone once called me. But I wasn’t that either. I looked like an

innocent virgin. Pure as winters first snow fall. I wasn’t but I found that the power of killing someone,

the act of playing God was better than sex. At least better than any I ever had. I craved to do it again.

To carve someone like a friggen jack o lantern on Halloween.. With one last breath I clicked the

bathroom lock and made my way to the terminal. Eager to claim my seat, pop in my ear buds and

sleep until the plane landed in Quebec. Eager to start my new life in Canada and eager to practice my

new found obsession.
