[WP] A man or woman has just committed a crime that will earn them life in prison, or worse. The police are not far behind. Rather than run, they sit down for one last dinner with their oblivious family, and try to decide how to break the news. | I can't say I did it to help them, I can't say I was having flashbacks, I can't claim self defense. It was just fun, watching them scream, seeing the terror in their eyes-it made me euphoric.
I became addicted to watching them suffer, and now my brief but glorious career as a serial killer is over. I don't really regr... | 1 | 0 | 20 | 35,277 |

There is a cure coming. I can feel it. The human race has struggled through drought and disease and we can struggle through this. They don't share my feelings. They're frightened.

Today the national guard set up blockades around the city, there are announcements on the news saying no one is getting out, no one is saying what happened. I think it has something to do with the naval base at the end of town, dad hasn't been home for weeks.

These are your feelings, and they come across as real and genuine. There aren't any more positive notes that matter after that.

[WP] You've never known what it's like to live until you begin to die | The warmth of my own blood surprised me somehow. The colour too; a deep crimson bordering on black.

Two dead boys got up to fight.
Back-to-back they faced one another,

So they chose a dummy for a referee.
A blind man went to see fair play,
A dumb man went to shout "hooray!"
