“You’ve caused me so much pain, yet the love I feel for you blinds me from it.”

“ You’re insane” she told him staring at his manic face.

He smiled, not the loving smile one gives to a significant other or even a smile one gives when happy. No. An uncontrollable smile. An empty smile. An eerie unnerving smile.

“Ha-ha-haha-“ he laughed, his head nocked back. Hand running through his hair.

She took a step back. Then another. She turned to run.

The night was eerily quiet. Too quiet. She looked back not quite ready for what she would see. He stood still in the same spot. His eyes boring into her. Like he could kill her with his stare. Then in the blink of an eye he had a gun.

Now that really would kill her.

She watched her feet rooted to the ground as he raised the gun as if in slow motion. She watched as he aimed. Then- BANG. He fired. She watch the bulletin race forward. Getting faster and faster as it got closer and closer. She thought she would feel the impact. But she didn’t. She didn’t feel anything again.
