My Girl

ONE

■■DEATH■■

"The more I think about my life, the more I lose myself. I'm weird. No not pick my nose in class weird, but I'm nothing like my friends. I'm nothing like my family. If people knew about me, they'd say I was "unique" but that's not the case. I don't make sense."

She's writing in her journal again. Every time she writes in that thing she is rude to herself. I never see her smile when writing in it, EVER. It breaks my heart.

And of course I know what she's writing about. I've been the one causing most of the bizarre things in her life.

■■4 years ago■■
I have a job of making sure everybody dies at their time. When someone doesn't die when they are supposed to, it throws the world out of wack. It's natural order, so when Magnolia Palmer wouldn't die I was stuck. When she was a baby I attempted to kill her in a plane crash, but she lived! I had other jobs to do so I decided to try again later. So one year later i planned on her dying in a fire in the orphanage she was in. Again she lived. Same night as the fire I tried to have her killed in a car crash and SHE LIVED!

I know this sounds like I am a very evil man but I'm not. It's just my job and if she didn't die then that ruined everything. It's the butterfly effect where a butterfly can flap their wings in Canada and cause a tsunami in Japan, but Magnolia living causes nothing. At least with what I have seen. Every time she lives nothing happens. Of course there are people who are miraculously saved and that causes an effect on someone else, but not with Magnolia. This has happened before, centuries ago, when my father was in charge.  I never knew what happened to that person and it's not like I can ask my father, he's dead. Ironic isn't it. Death being dead.

Over the past 13 years I have been trying to kill this girl and every attempt has failed.

My brother has reached the end of his ageing so I'm teaching him how to do this job. He is very sensitive so he takes his time on each person. I do the job and move on, except with Magnolia. She is the only exception. His ageing is the look of 18-19 but in reality he is just under 135. I am 769 but I still look 18. But with Jacoby taking on half of the work, I'll have more time to figure out how to kill Magnolia.

My brother will be working Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I'll work the other days. Not even but he is still new.

But my plan of action is to watch her, every day off will be dedicated to watching her and how her life is. Every chance I get I will take to kill her, but I don't think any of those attempts will work. So I'll study her, study her life, her mind, EVERYTHING I can know about her I will know.

I will kill her.
Even if it's the last thing I do.
