News Lady: "And now some breaking news. Brett?"

Brett: "Yes Linda, there has been another murder by Glenglow Highschool. At 11:00 at night a 911 call was answered to the sound of a few teenaged boys screaming for help. Police arrived at the scene of the crime and saw something particularly disturbing. Now if there are children in the room, it would be wise for them to leave, some of this information is graphic and may not be suitable for young children."

He waits. Just a short while.

Brett: "At Glenglow Highschool the body of Chad Ludwig was found near the woods. When police arrived at the scene, and identified the body, a disturbing piece of information intrigued police. The word 'Freak' was cut into Ludwig's forehead. Now police say this could be the same person who murdered Patty Wendsil. We can only hope police will be able to catch the criminal."

It is stupid for me to be out and about. But my face is covered by the hood of my black hoodie. They did well on the news report. A crowd was gathered around the display of TV's. The TV's in the display case were always on the news channel.

Stranger: "Wow. That poor boy."

Stranger: "Yeah, there's a lot of crazies out there."

I pondered that. Am I crazy? Am I mentally ill? Yes. Most likely.

Me: "I know, so you really think the killer is mentally ill?" I ask, keeping my head down.

Stranger: "Must be. A sane person wouldn't do such a thing." The stranger replied as she looked down at her teen who payed no mind to the small talk. "You wouldn't do that, would you sweetie?" She asked as she smiled fondly at her daughter.

Daughter: "Hell no. I'm not some freak stabbing random people."

I recognized her. Her name is Lily Reese. I really had hoped I'd get a vacation from these murders. But I suppose I can fit her into my schedule.
