Drip.
Drip.
The blood drips from my fingers to the wood floor below, with a light splash, remnants landing here and there across the impact radius. My victim, young, beautiful. She's a fine specimen, but sadly not one of my nicer ones. Oh how I wish she would have cooperated...
Drip.
Drip.
Grasping her arms. I pull her to the oven, I have to dispose of her. The sirens...the cries...they're closing in. I can see the red and blue flashes now. Are they just a figment of my imagination? But I see cars...a team of officers outside, guns drawn.
Drip.
Drip.
This is it. This is my final stand.
Drip.
Drip.
I grasp the knobs of the stove, turning the gas on high. The cupboard...chemicals...yes...yes I can use these. I rip the lids off, inhaling the fragrant aroma of ammonia, bleach, acid...I take a drink of the half-full bottle of oven cleaner, letting the coarse base run across my tongue, swishing it from cheek to cheek. It's bitter...but delightful...I swallow, as I feel the chemical rush down to my stomach. I open my mouth now, and allow the remains of the liquid to pour from my orifice.
Drip.
Drip.
Dripping to the floor.
I coat the floor in chemical...the gas is strong now. The door, they're banging on it now. They demand I open.
But I won't.
Drip.
Drip.
Silence.
I laugh...
I grab my gun now, aiming to the ground.
My final stand.
Drip.
Drip.
Click...
It's over now.
I hear shouts..."Get back!"...the flames rush around me...the corpse of my love begins to blacken.
Crackle.
Humming.
The warmth eats at me now.
I'm coming back, Chloe...
I reach into my pocket, drawing out my locket.
I press the button.
It's her.
It's my one and only.
Chloe, our daughter...five years past...
Sirens closing in now.
Heartbeat rising.
I close my eyes.
And I listen.
Drip.
Crackle.
Hum.
Laughing.
Am I mad?
Perhaps I was....
But now I am one...
The smoke begins to fill my lungs...
I do not cough, I breathe it in greedily...
And I begin to slumber...
Drip.
Drip.
Boom.
Boom.
Snap.
Crack.
Hiss.
Silence.
I am no more.
