Warning: Blood, Gore, Self harm!

I wake up like I always do, get up, get dressed then go out into the hallway.

Boring. I need to change my schedule up a little.

I run up to the front desk, the nurse paying no attention to me. Ringing the bell like I always do, she looks up at me annoyed, "Not now Derp, I don't have time for your childish games!" She yells, frantically picking up the phone while typing away at her computer.

"Why not!?" I whine.

"There's two patients missing, now go away!" She glares at me before going back to her computer.

Shit, they're looking for them. I need to get rid of those bloody clothes...everyone's at breakfast right now, but the staff are running around, I'll get caught easily if I try to throw them away.

I look around at all the stuff on the nurses desk until I see a small lighter. I look at the nurse, seeing that she's not looking. I lean down, putting my hand over the lighter and smile at the nurse. The nurse in return pushes my face away annoyed. Turning around, I quickly stuff the lighter in my jacket pocket.

Great, now I can just burn them, right? Yeah Derp, you're smart and you're doing it right. You'll be fine.

I head straight to my room, skipping breakfast. Shutting the door gently so no one hears, I look around for something to move in front of it. I decide to use my dresser, pushing it over in front of the door so no one comes in while I'm burning the clothes. I slide down on my knees and reach under my bed, pulling out the pile of clothes and quickly dropping them into a trash can, that is empty I might add. I light the lighter, the small flame igniting on the top, holding the button down I stare at it. The flame illuminates the room, a orange hue filling the walls with a warm welcome. I hover the lighter over the trash can before slowly lowering it down and holding it close to the fabric. I yank my arm back as the clothes catch a flame, the fire growing in size, yet concealed in the small area. Suddenly I see movement by the door, looking over, I see someone peeking in through the small window.

No witnesses.

Jumping up and over to the door, I push the dresser out of my way quickly and get out the door and into the hall. I look around, no one else in sight.

Idiot! I said no witnesses...and I let someone get away, what do I do!? What If I burn the bodies? They'll just think they're missing. I have a lighter...I could do it.

I walk down the hall towards the backyard door, some staff going past me on the way. Out the door quickly and over to the corner, the bodies still there. I get out the lighter and it once again ignites on the top. Bending down close to them I hover the lighter close to their clothes, I do this 5 times on each body to make sure the flame grows enough to consume the entire body. Standing up I back away and watch the flames. Suddenly I hear a twig snap behind me, I turn around and see Kitty standing there.

"W-what is this!?" She asks backing away.

"Dead bodies." I tell her.

"Is....is that Jesse and Merp! Y-you...killed them?" She starts looking pale, "You need help, you're sick! You...Psychopath!"

Psychopath.

That word echos through my mind, yet it's silent. Silence, "What did you call me?"

Kitty glares at me, "Psychopath!" She yells.

I tilt my head to the side, "You think I'm a psychopath...I'll show you a real psychopath." I tell her, my vision turning red.
