Vision began to fill itself in, but so did that of thin framed glasses staring back at me.

I jumped up, starring intensely at the scared little man, shrugging, “What the fuck are you doing?” I growled, breathing heavily at the wakeup call.

He raised his hands in defense, “I’m so sorry. I was just coming to check up on you, and you were sleeping with your eyes wide open.”

“Yeah,” I rolled my eyes, “No eyelids. What would you expect?”

“I don’t know,” he pulled up a chair, “I guess I supposed you had developed a layer of skin to cover your eyes as you slept, like a snake.”

“I’m not a snake,” I reminded, leaning against the wall with my legs crisscrossed over each other, facing him.

He nodded, pulling out some notebooks and a pen, “I know, I’m sorry, again,” wow he was nervous, “Do you mind if maybe, we start today? I let my editor know I had a big break and he wants the book out as soon as possible.”

I watched him, not saying anything. Leaning my head back onto the wall, I shrugged, “Fine.”

He smiled, still nervous, “Okay, thank you. So, what questions would you like to start out with?”

I shrugged again, still tired, “I don’t give a shit, just ask whatever you want.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Geez, what a spazz.

“We can start out with some of the things only you would know. I guess we’ll start with the thing you’re most known for; killing.”

I nodded, urging him to continue.

“Why do you do it; why do you kill people?”

I looked at him as though he were an idiot, “Personal entertainment, mostly. Seeing people scream in utter terror, only to whine and beg for their lives as if I really gave a damn, which I don’t, brings a smile to my face. Because you know, the funny thing about murder is that it’s not funny,” I paused as he wrote down my words, a little freaked out, “It’s hilarious.”

He nodded slowly, his skin crawling with nerves, “Uh, okay. Next question,” his voice cracked, “Do you think you’re mentally-ill? People have said you are, for killing people like a game, but what do you think, personally?”

“Personally, huh?” I starred up towards the ceiling briefly, “I’m not insane Chris. I just find joy in other people’s pain…is that so wrong?”

He shrugged a little, still writing, “I think it’s wrong, but you’re not the only person who thinks otherwise. Do you think it’s a lack of conscious?”

I scoffed, “I have a more intact conscious than I’ve ever had. Each time I kill, I add another voice to my head to tell me right from wrong. And 99.9% of the time, stabbing someone in the face is right.”

He wrote that down too like a reporter and although I could tell what I was saying was making him scared for his life; he kept strong, “Okay. If I could go back in time now,” he looked at me, “Is that okay?”

I nodded.

“Alright,” he continued, “If I can go back in time, I’d like to ask about your family. What were they like?”

I thought hard, trying to remember, “I don’t really know,” I answered truthfully, “They were…typical. Which I hated about them.”

“I see,” he nodded, fixing his glasses, “People sometimes question if maybe you had a bad family life. They say that could have led to your, outcome?”
