An Open/Shut Case
The door is closed. It’s easier to work that way. They tell me I should turn on the lights but it’s less confusing in the dark. It is dark now but the light is on, dim. I want to see his face.
I started at first with scissors, them being the only thing available at the time. You’d be surprised what you can do with just a small plastic pair of first grade scissors. They cut slow but sometimes when I got the time that’s fun. Later I worked my way up to knives. Never had one as a kid, only butter and steak knives until I was twenty.
The door’s still closed. Almost serene isn’t it? Too bad I can’t enjoy it for long. I gotta go to work.
I threw what remained in the rain sewer. Nasty business but I can’t very well put it in the trash now can I? People look there.
The weirdest thing is, you’ll get a kick out of this, there wasn’t any mess. Damn things usually bleed like stuck pigs but the head doesn’t have many big veins, especially the back. I caught the blood with a towel.
Found somebody interesting, today. Her eyes were green, big and glasslike. I wonder what they look like on the inside. I know what your thinkin’, sicko, but don’t you wonder what they look like on the inside too. I wish I took biology, I know I’d make a good surgeon.
Work sucks. I had to sit for hours talking to the empty video screens. I usually find the time to work on my plans but that usually only takes about a half hour. I’m stuck sitting in this chair watching an empty building through the wonder of black and white.
Finding time has got to be the hardest thing to do. All I ever do find is less time then what I started with.
Those eyes looked like marbles. Okay not actually marbles maybe you had to use your imagination a little. Now it looks like a dull white rock. You ever see those? White with brown rust running through it, well I wasn’t that excited the inside was even worse. I’ve got to wear gloves when I do this.
I got fired. When is it now that I’m required to check every room? What’s the big deal, how was I supposed to catch it? The guy didn’t even look like he was having a heart attack.
Whatever, I went to Big 5 and bought a new knife. It looks sharp. Things’ve got to look sharp.
I got the door closed. But the noise is still getting through. I swear that it’s getting louder. Turned the light off. It started to hurt my eyes. Sam, my pathetic excuse for a landlord, says I got a couple of weeks left. He’s getting on my nerves.
In fact even Suzy is getting on my nerves. Her eyes are too small.
You can’t see it now, its dark. I feel good. I got so much off my chest. I was just too excited. Too many things were going wrong. I took care of that.
Sam’s a goner. So there went my rent problem but I don’t want to stay here anyhow, it’s far too loud.
Suzy was loud. Almost got caught. But cops are so dumb. She had screamed. Even after it stayed like an echo. Too much here, I gotta move.
It’s quiet here. It’s dark here too. It was a great find. The neighbors seem nice, and hopefully quiet. I’ve been doing too much. Right now I just want to rest, with the door closed. I can go out tomorrow.
