The listener

chapter 2

Arthur stood motionless for a while. He stared at Sara like she had a second head. Sara just stood there, looking away and biting her nails.

'' How Sara, and- and - and when?''
He stammered.
'' Just now, a few moments ago.'' She answered without a trace of remorse in her voice.

'' Sara tell me you are joking.''

She stamped her foot on the ground like a baby and threw her hands in the air.
'' Nobody believes me, nobody hears me,They never take me seriously, they never listen to me.''

She was about to throw a tantrum and Arthur had to calm her down.

'' How did it happen?''
'' Well, I got tired of everyone stinky attitude towards me. So I left the gas open and allow it to fill the kitchen and dinning area because I know they would all be sitting there and talking about me and how they think they can help me, I kept my room window open so that I can jump out easily and escape.''

Arthur was in awe about her lack of remorse and reasoning toward their deaths. Sure he knew Sara battled with her emotions and depression, but he never knew she could be psychotic and dangerous.

'' I knew mother was going to heat the food because I did not heat it on purpose'' she put her hands close to her mouth and giggled like a child.  '' She can't come to ask me any question because they think I'm strange, and that mistake caused them their lives.''

He just looked at his girl friend, he didn't know what to say.
'' They don't listen to me Arthur, you are the only one I can trust please don't leave me.''

She moved closer to him, but with every step forward he moved backward.

'' Sara you killed your family.''

The words rang in her eardrums like the distant sirens she was hearing. Probably fire fighters were already at her house. She could see the smoke rising up to the sky.

Arthur was sick to the stomach, he wanted to get as far away as possible from her. He thought he could help her. He thought he was helping her, he  thought she'd at least become a little better.

She covered her face with her hands and stepped Back her shoulders were jerking and he could hear quiet sobs .
'' The police would be looking for you soon Sara and-''
'' No!'' She continued to move back '' No, no they won't!''
With that she ran off.
Arthur ran after her and finally found her in and incomplete building. As he moved slowly towards her, she brought out a sharp stone and connected it to his face continuously until he no longer moved.

Sara sat on the ground outside the house. She brought out her phone and dialed...

'' Hello this is the police state your emergency.''

'' He is dead.''

''Sorry, who's dead?''

'' My boyfriend, and all of them.''

'' All of them? Okay please state your location. And can you identify the killer?''

'' I killed them all.''

'' You?'' Her words came out with caution.
'' Yes''
'' Okay dear, please state your location.''

'' I'm not too far away, you would know when you see the house, just like the other one, it would be on fire.''

'' please don't do-''

She hanged up before the police officer could complete her sentence, and she walked back inside the house.

Like she said, it wasn't difficult to know her location because from the center of town you could see the flames rising up to the sky.
