My Name is Karma

Author's Note:

Hi, I'm Mori and this is my first entry on Wattpad. It's an extremely short story, but I put a lot of me into it, so I hope you enjoy. I think it's always good to have a short sample of someone's work when you've never read their stuff before - this should take only about a minute to read.

I have another chapter, if anyone should suggest it; otherwise, I'd like 'My Name is Karma' to stand alone.

This is somewhat based on a true story.

My name is Karma

by L.Z. Morrigan

You swear you hear the front door click. You swear you hear the tip tap of footsteps across these marble floors, the stage on which you acted the monster, the platform of my worst memories.

        No, it’s not your imagination. These aren’t paranoid thoughts brought on from this night's horror movie marathon. I saw you watching it, and now I’m inside.

        You laughed at the camping teens being tortured in the woods. You laughed at me, bruised and suffocating on the ground.

        Will you laugh when it’s you? Is it funny now?

        Your house is empty and cold. Just like you. I shiver, not from the cold, not from fear. I’m not afraid of you anymore. I shiver in anticipation. It’s finally coming now: your end. You’ve been breathing for too long.

        My name is Karma, for tonight, and I’m approaching. I’m creeping down your hallway towards your bedroom, bathed in white moonlight.

        I see you’re awake and you’re aware of my presence. I don’t give you time to defend yourself, but I give you time to look at me; I want to see the shock, and fear in your eyes. I want to hear your scream stifled, the way you stifled mine with your cruel and heavy ands.

        You didn’t have the courage to end me, even though you wanted to. My hatred runs too deep to let you live now.

        I’m not afraid of anything, anymore. Not since that night. Not since you.

        My blade, the rage, is hot; your skin, your eyes are cold. This is how it was meant to be.

        You asked for this. You asked for it.
