You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile

"You're never fully dressed without a smile!" That's what he would always say. Meet Travis, he's a married man with dark hair and bright blue eyes. No matter where he went he always wore a nice crisp suit and a big shiney smile. People always said he was the happiest man alive and they would be right, he was always happy. But what if one day he just....... snapped?

BEEP BEEP BE-

Travis shuts of his alarm and gets out of bed to ready start his day, but the thing is Travis was on edge today. He didn't know why, he was just... snippy today. Like one wrong thing could make him snap. So getting up, heading to the bathroom to start his daily routine, brushing his teeth, a 20 minute shower, getting dressed,doing his hair, eating, and heading to work. Easy. Done deal. Or so he thought.

See today is a special day for him. Something or SOMEONE is going to set him off in ways people didn't think were possible for him.

After Travis finishes his morning still on edge and wasn't dealing with anyone today. He heads to work dreading this day, wanting it to end already. He parks his car, gets out and heads inside his work place.

TIME SKIP

It's near the end of the day and Travis is ready to go home and sleep. Utill he gets called down to his bosses office.

"Travis," Mr.Green, Travis' boss, says. "I hate to do this to you but... We have to let you go sport." That was it. Thats what set him off. The only thing going though Travis' mind was 'end him'. So with a shaky rage filled voice he says "N-no worries sir. How about you come over t-t-to my place and have dinner with me and my wife as a last hurrah I suppose?" "Sounds wonderfull." Mr. Green replied with a smile.

~At his place~

The food was made and eaten. Now Travis, his wife, and Mr.Green were in the living room talking about the good times. But now Travis needed to take action.

"Honey?" "Yes Travis?" "Why don't you go and shower? I'd like to talk to Mr.Green alone for a minute before he leaves." "Alright dear, don't keep him too long." Travis' wife says giggling and heading upstairs to shower. "Now that we're alone," Travis says menicingly while walking to the kitchen. He walk's over to the knives and takes one out and walks back to the living room. Mr.Green sees the knife and trys to get away. "Why the long face John?" Travis asks creeply. "No...No please no!" Mr.Green says backing away scared. But the last thing he heard before the knife met his chest was...

"𝖄𝖔𝖚𝖗 𝖓𝖊𝖛𝖊𝖗 𝖋𝖚𝖑𝖑𝖞 𝖉𝖗𝖊𝖘𝖘𝖊𝖉 𝖜𝖎𝖙𝖍𝖔𝖚𝖙 𝖆 𝖘𝖒𝖎𝖑𝖊..." "NO-!"
