Blood Love

The Final Stand

I knew my art wasn’t going to be perfected, seeing as my capture was imminent. However I was

going to take as many people to hell before I went there myself. One thing was sure; I would be hated

in hell too… if that is even possible. For shits and giggles I shot down a homeless man pushing a cart

and a young couple making out on a bench... young love is a joke anyway. I smiled as I got to the doors

of the salon and I strolled in.

“Hey baby!” I chirped as the stylist looked at me surprised. Recognition took over as I pulled out my

gun and shot her the shoulder before putting one into her temple. The brain matter and skull fragments

splattered all over the floor and cash register. As I licked the mess from my lips people began running

and screaming. With 10 bullets left, I needed to make them count. My kill count was up to 8, I could

get

to 18. I started shooting people at random. I was at 16 when the pigs finally showed up waving their

guns and shouting orders as they surrounded the entrance. I bent down and stared into the lifeless

eyes

of the stylists as I licked a little more blood from my finger –her blood. Her name tag read Heidi. I

stood once more and walked to the door thinking of how everyone’s blood had a slightly difference in

taste. Some was more salty, some had a coppery taste. I raised my gun and shot the nearest pig. I

watched him fall as shots fired all around me. The pain was fantastic as I felt the bullets sink into my

flesh. I fell against the door frame, panting as I choked on the taste of my own blood. My ears started

ringing and the light was fading as the police approached cautiously. My body turned icy cold and with

my last breath I laughed at the man at my feet.

“Eighteen” I whispered as I shot him the heart before my world became black.
