It's been three days now since I kidnapped the woman from the bus. I made sure to blindfold her, she doesn't know who I am or what I look like. She is locked in the basement right now in the backroom. I removed the light so it's always dark and there are no windows.

I went down to give her food and water last night and while she couldn't see me she pleaded with me, begging me to let her go and to spare her life. She said she didn't want to die. I believe she was trying to plead with my humanity, humanity that I do not possess. I am not ready to kill her yet but the urge has returned.

I have decided tomorrow I will find someone else, someone I am fully prepared to kill. Early this morning I went and purchased what I needed. I bought a box of garbage bags and a metal saw from the Home Hardware. I also picked up a new shovel. The pimple-faced teenager behind the counter eyed me weirdly. Part of me had considered killing him, just for the stupid look on his face. But, I heard him and the other associate talking about some class in high school – I won't kill a kid.

Tomorrow I will go out and find my next victim. Tomorrow I will give the urge enough to leave me alone while I think about what to do with the girl.
