Kill For Love

Characters: Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne

Friday October 13 1972, Denver Colorado

It was close to the end of the day, leaves were falling down and a train was rolling in the direction of Aurora, the city next to Denver. As the train passed in a small wooded area, clouds started to fill the sky. Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon were in the train with few other travelers. Ozzy looked carefully at each traveler, there was a teenage girl that was going home to see her family, a business man wearing a fancy costume who was going to Aurora to sell life assurance, a pregnant woman and her son going to see the woman's mother and a guy mid 20 who was going to Aurora to meet his girlfriend for a road trip. The man looked back at his wife who was wearing a black dress, she smiled at him but he knew that something was going on. He took out the Whiskey flask that he always have with him and drank few sips. Suddenly, the train derailed near an abandoned waffle house. The 7 travelers started to panic, the guy mid 20 went to see the driver but he found him dead. He told the new to the others and they all gasped. Everybody walked out of the train and thunder could be heard.

"Let's go in the waffle house!" Said the business man pointing at the building. As the travelers ran, a big thunderstorm started and lightning was the only light in the dark wooded area. In the waffle house, there was a lot of dust which indicated that the building had been abandoned for a long time. The mother lighted few candles and it was the only light. The teen girl went to look for food in the kitchen, the business man sat down at a table and Ozzy started to worry more and more, he wasn't sure if he'd arrive at time for his meeting. He started to drink to calm himself and to forget about his depression. He drank until there was no more Whiskey, he then asked for more but nobody had some. Sharon tried to calm her husband but it didn't work, he needed Whiskey and she knew it. The travelers were more and more hungry as the hours passed. Sharon noticed that the mother and his son fell asleep in a corner of the waffle house and the business man was still sat on the same spot where he was earlier. She tapped on Ozzy's shoulder and he looked up at her.

"Listen Ozzy, you have to kill them. It will release me and I'll be happy. Also you won't be depressed anymore. Do you want me to be happy?" She asked and he nodded. What Ozzy didn't know was that it wasn't true that he won't be depressed anymore, he'll be even more but Sharon simply manipulated him to have what she wanted. Ozzy noticed that the teen girl was still missing which meant that she was still in the kitchen. He walked in the kitchen, saw that she was looking for food and made his way close to her. He put one had on her mouth and the other one on the back of her head before he banged it against the counter. Her head was bleeding, his fancy costume was full of blood and he was breathing heavily, not sure of what he did but he did it for his wife. Ozzy walked back in the dining room and went to sit with the business man. He noticed that he had a tie, took it in his hand and pulled it as hard as he could to throttle the man and the man's head fell on the table. Before he got up, Ozzy looked in the business man's suite pockets and saw a flask of Whiskey, he smiled and took it. He saw the mother and her child, walked in the kitchen, took a knife and made his way back in the dining room. He approached the small family and stabbed the women before he dismembered her. The son hadn't woke up, he wasn't sure of what he was doing but he cut the kid's throat. He looked at his suite which was now full of blood. One more person, he thought. Ozzy looked around and saw the guy mid 20 no where, he made his way to the restroom and saw the guy peeing in a urinal. He reached the guy, took the guy's head in his hand and banged it against the urinal. The guy fell on the floor. He walked back in the dining room, reached the business man, took off his jacket, pulled off the man's jacket and put it on him without forgetting his flask. He turned to look at Sharon and she smiled at him.

"Thank you my sweet husband for realising me." Said Sharon and her spirit disappeared. Ozzy fell on his knees, drank some Whiskey and thought about the lie that told Sharon earlier, he was still depressed. He sighed then walked out of the building to go near the train. It was still raining and Ozzy started to walk to Aurora for the burial of his wife who died few days ago. Ozzy killed for loved but now he was a lonely man.
