TW: Stabbing, mention of blood

It's too peaceful. Our town is normally overrun with robbers. Streets are normally empty. Yet today, neighbors are talking, children running around playing with one another. It's too peaceful. Was I dreaming? Our town was never like this. It all felt too odd and, other people thought so too.
I tried my luck for an explanation in the newspaper, nothing. I asked around town, nothing. Everyone told me that we should enjoy it. It's just too peaceful. Something needed to happen, ANYTHING. I looked down the road to see the butcher's shop. I walked into the building and ignored the man's greetings.
"Lovely day isn't it." He stated.
"It's too peaceful," I said quietly under my breath. I grabbed the knife he held in his hand. Before he could say a word I stabbed him.
"It's TOO PEACEFUL!" I screamed over and over every time I stabbed him. He begged me to stop but, I ignored his pleas. After stabbing him about 27 times, I couldn't hear his breathing anymore. I looked at the puddle of blood underneath me starting to grow. I stood up and dropped the knife.
"It's too peaceful." I said as I walked out of the shop.
