You know
when you stop thinking about something and then suddenly it pops back into your
life and it’s all consuming? This was not that. This was something I had
literally buried in the nineties and it’s suddenly resurfaced.
See, I went
through this phase for about a year in the mid-1990s where I made “kill-kits”
and buried them in the woods outside of town. Then, I would stalk people down
hiking trails and lure them to areas where I had all my materials set up. It
was a convenient way to make a kill without lugging around my camping gear.
Ultimately, it wasn’t worth the risk of carrying around a trunk full of ropes,
knives, and tarps once a month.
All my leftover
kits were buried in the forest, completely forgotten because why would it
matter?
Turns out,
it matters because one of my kits was just found by a hiker and now there is a
county-wide investigation looking for a potential serial killer.
'Cause fuck me, right?
So far
there’s nothing tying me to the kit and there’s genuinely no reason to worry. I
just hate things that go wrong when they are within my control. I should have
cleaned up after myself. I’m suffering through the consequences as it is: no
new kills this week. I just have to live off my really big one last week.
Thursday
night, I got into a very minor fender bender – didn’t even scratch the paint
(still, got it sent in for a tune up) – but the jerk insisted we pull off onto
this abandoned road so he could yell at me. I let him get about three words out
before I took out my pepper spray, blinding him. Then I jumped on his back and
snapped his neck like a freaking action star. Side note: it is incredibly
difficult to snap someone’s neck. It’s not the way it looks in the movies. James
taught it to me on one of our first dates. It’s not about twisting the neck,
right? It’s about severing the spinal cord with an upward, twisting momentum.
I was
incredibly proud; I’ve only been able to do it a couple of times in my life and
this was certainly the quickest. It’s nice to know that I can still learn and grow
as a killer, even after all these years.
It’s a
reminder to everyone: you can always be improving.
That’s how I’m
choosing to see this situation. And you should, too. I don’t need any of your
judgement, I have my own, thank you.
As always,
dear readers,
Stay Safe
