Not Quite Enough

Micky sat there against the wall. His breathing came in short, fast rasps that sounded painful. The sledge hammer right beside him.
"mickey, you need to listen to me, this isn't you okay? please, you need to hear me!" Mary yelled from a few feet in front of him where she stood panting from running around the old abandoned home where she used to live. She desperately tried to get through to him from whatever the hell was using his body. Micky slowly picked his head up. his face wore an unnaturally large smile. his eyes emotionless
"don't you see? Micky is no longer with us!" Micky shouted
his hand moving to grip the sledge hammer beside him. he gripped it before slowly raising it right above his left leg. Mary caught on to what he was trying to do.
"wait please, don't do thi-"
her screaming cut off by the sound of the sledge hammer colliding with flesh and bone.
"AAAHHHHH" Mary screamed
falling to her knees as Micky brought the sledge hammer up again and hit his right leg. his smile never faltering. Mary had tears streaming down her face as she watched her twin brothers body go limp against the wall
