"50 murders have been happening around town. Local residents are moving out of our small town, the police is currently looking for the suspect or suspects behind the murders." Announced the dead sounding news reporter, as he reads off other news about problems around the world, Jim changed the channel, going through each channel looking for something good to watch.
"I should call up Mike, maybe we can play for a bit..." Jim thought out loud, after turning the TV off to find his phone.
"Hey Mike, you wanna come over? Its pretty dark down here... tons of murders." Jim asked, playing with his hair, as he plugged his controllers in.
"Sure man, just uh... doing something real quick, I'll be there in a minute... 15 to be exact..." Mike said, in a cautious tone, appearing to be stepping on branches and leaves.
"Uh.... okay?" Jim said, as he hung up, "Weird, wonder what Mike is doing.. probably yard work or something..."
A few hours later, Jim hears a knock on the door, it was Mike. And he brought some games from his house.
"Hey Mike, yard work was tough huh?" Jim asked, putting the stack of games on the coffee table.
"Oh- uhm... yeah, real tough... haha..." Mike giggled nervously, looking down on the floor, and back at Jim.
"Dude, what happened? You have blood on your shirt!" Jim exclaimed, looking at the blood on Mike's dark blue shirt.
"Oh, yard accident..." Mike said nervously, walking to one of the couches.
"You're acting so weird, you alright?" Jim questioned, looking suspiciously at Mike.
"Yeah, I'll be right back.." Mike said, as he ran to the kitchen.
A few minutes later, Mike came back, with something behind his back.
"Mike..?" Jim questioned, backing up as Mike drew closer.
"You know too much.." Mike said, slowly moving his hand from behind his back.
"What?!" Jim yelled, backed into the corner.
"You know too much.." Mike took a knife out from his back, and towered over the cowering Jim,
"It was you..."
"Yes it was."
"I'm sorry..."











"Friday last night at 5:46PM, Jim Hassleback found dead with 12 stab wounds in his chest. No evidence of the killer in sight, police are now on high alert for the killer." The dead sounding news reporter said, as he went on to others news.
"That makes 51..." Mike said while laughing, cleaning the blood off of his knife.
