"More mutilated body parts have been discovered in Han River at 9:13 pm last night, the identities still unknown due to the condition making them completely unrecognizable. The only thing noticeable about the severed limbs and appendages are the distinct bite marks located all over them, leading the police to rule the crime as a very obvious addition to the list of the most recent serial killings-"

Everest turned the tv off with tears running down his face.

Those poor people, he thought with         
sincerity, he couldn't bear to be still anymore, his nerves were getting to him. He got up and walked over to his bathroom and splashed his face with some cold water. He placed his hands on sides of his sink for support and swallowed hard, he felt a lump in his throat.
He hacked and spit out a bloody piece of nail and torn tanned skin, it was really smooth and tasted like coconut oil. His eyes went blank and expressionless as he stared at it, then tears flooded over his cheeks again and he began to sob while shoving his finger around his mouth in search of more bits and pieces of other innocent people.

Really, he thought again, those poor people.

***********

"Stop being so damn boring, go out for once in your life," Everest turned in annoyance at Mikky.
"Sorry for valuing my life over a party Mikky, but I'm gonna stay put, you have fun though." He waved him off and switched on the TV.

"Two things, I told you stop calling me that and when I come home with fine ass girls all over my arms don't even glance at them you coward." Mikky spat, jokingly of course.

"Won't be a problem, you always snag the ugliest ones." Everest teased. Mikky clutched his chest like he had been shot.

"Ugh," he groaned, "my pride." He threw an empty beer can at Everest before flicking him off and leaving.

Everest laughed and turned the volume up on the TV, only half watching. He flipped through the channels bored out of his mind. He finally set the TV on a random channel and picked up his phone, ignoring the show on the screen in front of him.

"More mutilated body parts..." Everest looked up at the TV which had cut to the news channel, he looked and saw the remote on the floor. The news channel always made him feel... weird. Always talking about death and other depressing things, especially with the new serial killer everyone's talking about... disturbing. He turned the TV off and looked down for his phone we he felt tears run down his cheeks.

Those poor people, he thought.

~ The next morning ~

Everest awoke to the sound of a phone ringing. He rolled over and felt a pounding in his temples. He groaned and sat up, he realized he was in his bathroom. He looked around and saw the bathroom was a complete mess. Water all over the floor, everything knocked over, even the toilet seat cover was on the floor.

"This is exactly why I don't go to parties," he thought.
"I could've sworn I told him I didn't want to go, I need to stop letting him convince me."

It was the fourth time he woke up in his house, not in his bed and things in chaos around him. His hangovers didn't used to be this bad. The thing that really confused him though is that he never remembered leaving to go for a party, ever, each time.

However that's the only explanation, and Everest being the nonchalant guy he was, saw no harm in going out to party and getting drunk, but god he needed to hold back every once in a while. He got to his feet and looked at himself in the mirror.

He choked.

What he saw in the mirror surprised him every time he woke up like this. Cuts and bruises around his mouth and his lips a little more swollen and redder than usual. He would be scared if he had never gotten into bar fights before and seen the aftermath, but it was always Mikky getting into fights and looking like this the next day, at least whenever he could remember it. Whenever he drew blanks on the night before it was always him who looked like this, whatever.

He splashed water in his face and grabbed his phone to call Mikky and scold him because he was sure he was the one who dragged him out to a party again. Mikky could never remember if he dragged Everest out or not because he'd always be hammered the next day too but Everest always yelled at him for the satisfaction, plus who else would drag him to a party?

He scrolled through his phone and saw the contact -

Michael (Mikky)

He clicked it and let it ring on speaker.

"Hello?" Mikky answered in a tired tone.

"Mikky I swear to god I'm gonna beat you the next time I see you, how many times do I have to yell at you for you to understand-"

Mikky cut him off, "The hell are you talking about?" Everest snorted.

"Stop dragging me to parties bozo, my liver can't take it anymore." Everest heard shuffling on the other side of the line,
"We didn't go to any parties last night, I've been in the hospital with my little brother since 11 last night, I have no idea what you're talking about."

Everest blinked a few times. "Well then why the hell-"

"Look man I've got to go, my little brother is going through the shits right now I don't have the time, bye Ev." He hung up the phone and left Everest staring into the mirror in confusion. He ran his fingers over the cuts and swollen lips. The confusion quickly turned to terror.

What the hell did I do last night?
