Mitch's POV:

I slammed the ax towards the mans face, not caring who it was or why I was doing this in the first place. I breathe hard in short bursts, and the man screams.

"Don't- don't hurt me! Please!" and he throws his arm up in a defensive position, but I slam my eyes shut and hear metal slicing open his skin, and his thick warm blood seeps through my shoes as I repeatedly chop limbs apart.(eww. I will not get gorier than that.)

The man lays in pieces and I watch the life slowly drain out of him, and onto the sidewalk.

I feel a slight bit light headed.

I stare at the corpse, and dread costumes me.

I had sliced up Jerome.

or at least

someone that looks dreadfully close to him.
And then I realized.

It was my father.

I spot a small, folded up paper laying close to his severed hand.

I bend down and pick it up, and shake off the dark red bood. I unfold it and read it.

DearMitchell,

I know it has been awhile since we talked last. I wanted to say that I missed you and I hope you are having a good life.

I am extremely sorry for the abuse and the probable scarring I did to you. I know you didn't deserve it, and I should have never done that.

I miss your mother. I long for her soul to be by my side, always, but I know I messed that up long ago, when I had no sense or self control.

I got out of prison a week or two ago, and I wanted to tell you that I have learned my lesson on life. I know how to live. I know how to behave. I want a fresh start between you and I, if that's even possible. I want to live my role as a good father and hopefully you can forgive me and we can be happy together, always.

I miss you, and hopefully we can talk soon.

Love,
Dad

I crumpled up the letter and begin to cry.

My dad wanted to begin a new life with me, and I gave him the chopper. I watched his blood drain out of him with glee.

I hang my head with shame, and the axe clatters the concrete beside me, fingers unfurled. I feel the salty tears in my eyes, when a pair of furry hands grips my shoulders.

"Let's go home," Jerome says.

and we do just that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have no excuse.

school is about to end, so hopefully I can update more oftenC:

Love you all
