Short horror stories

Jessica

My soul mate left me today. All that's left of him, is this pair of socks which maybe fell off his suitcase, and a note labelled "Read me" that I found on the kitchen counter.

I picked it up and started to read.

"I just can't take it anymore. Jess, you know I love you, you know I always will, but these last few months have gotten bad for me. Yes it's her. She's following me again, and I am scared that if she found you she'd kill you. I'm sorry. I wish I could go into more details, but you will be home soon and I don't want to have to tell you any of this to your face. It would destroy me to see you cry.

Suddenly the front door creaked open. I instinctively grabbed a knife off the knife rack and ran into the pantry.

"Hello?" called a woman from the entrance way. I didn't answer. Instead I open the pantry door just enough to see the note on the counter. "Anyone in here?" she yelled, walking closer to the kitchen. "I'm not going to hurt you" she says as she steps into the kitchen. There was a small Swiss Army knife in her hand.

She picked up the note and started to read. And within seconds she started crying hysterically. The woman fell to her knees and dropped the knife.

I ignored every logical thought in my brain, kicked open the door and thrust the knife into her stomach.

"Welcome home Jessica" I say twisting the knife with a bright smile on my face.
