"Thanks, Al." Antony takes another sip of soup.

"There is no need to thank me." I say. 

He curls up on the couch. I grip my fists. I was only planning to seek justice, but I suppose I'll have to seek it elsewhere. I pull the covers up more. He grabs my hand. I look at him.

"Please don't go." He says.

"Very well. I'll stay." I sit down next to him.

"Hey... so you know what's in a couple of weeks?" He asks.

".... no." I say.

"Really??" He asks.

I let out a breath.

"Oh... that." I hiss. 

"Yeah! We should celebrate it!" Antony grabs me.

"No." I say.

"Why not? We never do!" Antony whines.

"And that's what I love." I say. 

"Pleassseee?!" He gives me puppy eyes.

"NO! It's nothing. It's fine." I hiss. 

"But... but..." He starts.

"Antony, I don't need a party for that... event." I say.

"We'll see, darling." He turns on the Tv.

"Murder! There's been a murder!" The reporter yells. 

Flashing lights. Police cars. So... they've seen my victim. I grip my fists. Antony curls up under my arm. 

"Some crazy vigilante with a smiley mask killed Harber Willis. A drug dealer." The reporter says.

"Are you sure you want to watch this?" I ask.

"Yeah." Antony nods.

"It'll be scary." I say.

"I'm not a fucking baby." Antony says.

They show the blood of the victim I mutilated. I remember cutting his hand off. Then slicing through his skin like butter. I butchered him. Antony lets out a light scream. I turn off the TV.

"What kind of psychopath would do that?" Antony asks.

"Let's get you to bed." I sigh.

Me.
