OKAY SO I WROTE THIS A WHILE AGO FOR ENGLISH HOMEWORK AND I JUST FOUND IT AND SO THOUGHT I'D SHARE IT :)

Every serial killer dreams of a befitting downfall to their great legacy: 'felled in a shower of bullets' or perhaps 'found in a cabin amongst dismembered victims'. I wanted something like that-this time aroundAlas mine was a rusty nail.This probably sounds quite basic but let me explain...

See I'd just killed my 63rd victim, I know, it's a lot.Thing you must understand about me is, I kill for revenge and the more people dead, the more who seemed to cross me...

Right! Yes, the nail.

He was my 63rd, like i said.He was a homeless bum of the mindset that if he was going to die soon why not spend it attempting to hunt me down.Anyways, he managed to find my mother-it doesn't matter: she thinks i'm dead anyway.But of course, I had to kill him.

I kept it clean,a simple slit of the throat in a pub's cellar, that he evidently had been camping out in,put the knife in his hand and staged it to look like suicide. I stepped back, admiring my handiwork: flawless.

I turned toward the back entrance-probably how he originally got in-trailing my hand along the coarse, calloused wood of the beer kegs standing to attention against the wall. I was filled with the intoxicating feel of power from being able to control life or death and it made me reckless. Because that's when it happened, I felt a muted twinge in my finger and suspected it was just a mere splinter only when it was too late did I realise my truly fatal mistake. That rusty nail had caused me barely no pain and yet it would be my downfall. It had my blood on it and they can find me. And they did but don't worry, it's not my first time avaiding the authorities and it certainly won't be the last because you can't kill the undead.

And to be totally honest with you, I lied. I do kill for vengeance but also for pleasure...

Now, with that weight off my chest-Goodnight number 64...
