I’m doing it. There’s no stopping now. This month is
officially dedicated to experimentation and creativity; and alleviating my “empty
nest” rut.
It’s not really a rut. I’m still killing. There’s been no
decrease in activity but after last week’s fun little detour in methodology, I’ve
decided my new project is to broaden my horizons by forcing myself out of my
box.
Every week this month, I’m going to choose a room in my
house and I’m going to kill using commonly found objects in that room. You may
think this is just a gimmick but I think that the summer is about doing what
you love and growing – even as an adult. After over twenty years of this, it
never hurts to try something new. I’ve started off with an easy one.
Week one: Kitchen.
Now knives have to
be omitted, obviously, but also cookware. It’s too easy to just bludgeon to
death the next random stranger I see. This has to require some thought. My
first idea was a kettle. Boil some water, splash it on their skin then beat
them with it. What I discovered is that I killed the young woman too quickly
after the water hit her skin so it hadn’t started to burn or tear. She just had
a red-ish tint to her face at time of death. Underwhelming but ultimately
successful.
My most recent weapon was a whisk. I was actually kind of
hesitant to use this tool because I just could not think of anything. But for whatever reason, it was the first
thing I saw when I left yesterday morning so I vowed to do it.
I really could not tell you what possessed me to choose a
whisk other than to torturously challenge myself.
That would actually explain a lot of my choices lately.
Another lovely young woman crossed my path and ultimately, I
shoved the weapon down her throat. The utensil blocked her airway and as she
struggled, I could see the whisk expanding at the base of her neck until she
tore through some of the muscle and ultimately suffocated.
I can honestly say that’s a first.
The thing I’m enjoying most about these experiments is that
I’m getting a lot of firsts out of it. After all this time, it’s nice to have a
few more firsts under my belt. My next kill won’t be until Friday but I’m
trying not to plan ahead too much. Spontaneity
can be a blessing or a curse in my line of work. Overthinking things never
helps but being cautious is why I’ve lasted as long as I have.
It’s all about balance.
If you have any suggestions for rooms or household items you’d
like me to try, please pass them on. Let’s make this a group effort.
As always, dear readers,
