"Why are you hurting me?!" I shook my head and ignored the day's flashback. I need to find my soulmate so I can fix this mess. And by fix, I mean to forget. Cause I can't bring back the thirty-three men I'd killed the last 5 years. I never wanted to do this. I just wanted to be with someone. I didn't want to be alone, not again. I wanted to forget everything that my mother did. That my so-called "family" did. So now I'm here in Montana, looking for my last hope. If I don't find him here, then I guess I'll turn myself in as the killer. At least that way I can be locked up and with people, whether they hate me or not.
The police are on my trail. I almost killed one of them by pushing them off the roof but I stopped myself. I didn't want to hurt a bystander, so I threw a knife at him and kept running. I heard him fall but I don't think my knife hit him. I think he landed on the fire escape. Last I heard he was still alive. I'm glad, especially since he was cute. Like a, "I know you're not the one but I'd spend some of my life with you" cute. I think he's straight anyway 'cause in the picture on the news, his girlfriend was sitting next to him with a little girl sitting across their laps. Probably their kid.
I went down to the lobby of the hotel I was staying in to get breakfast. I was looking for an apartment for long term but for now, a hotel room would do. I grabbed a plate and filled it up with waffles, cereal, and fruit. I then grabbed myself a coffee and sat down. a woman came up to me a few minutes later and started talking to me. "So what's your name?" I smiled and answered "Gary Adams. And you are?" "Elizabeth Thomas. You're visiting right?" I shook my head. "No, I'm actually moving here. I think my soulmate lives here. Either that or I just wanted to settle in a small town by myself." She smiled and nodded. "I haven't moved here yet but I will soon. My girlfriend and I are getting married and it would be hard to live four states away." I was surprised. I thought for sure she would be straight, but I guess that's how far stereotypes get you. "Well Elizabeth, congratulations on your marriage." I said as I got up and started to clear my plate and glass from the table. She nodded and said "Good luck to you. I hope you find your soulmate too."
