He was there smiling. A simple smile, one that makes others feel at ease, or calm. A serene curve of the lips. But his eyes were dead.
He had asked her how she was doing everyday. Did the small things so she would smile, but never notice it. He made her always laugh at his crude jokes, and tomfoolery. She was always smiling when he was around. Her joy, brought only bliss to him. But her eyes weren't smiling at him.
She called in sick one day. Then another. Then another. Then another. Then she came in to work. She wasn't smiling. He asked her how she was doing. She told him she was fine. He did the small things so she would smile. But she ignored them. He made jokes, and acted the fool. She told him to stop. Her eyes were dead.
-You're worthless- she spat. -An idiotic s**t that doesn't know how to mind his own business. A ******** a*****e that ruins my day everyday.- Her eyes were still dead. -Do you know how much I hate you? How much you make me sick? DO YOU!?- She screamed at him, the darkened eye now visible. His eyes, went dead.
He went home. He wrote in his journal. And he smiled. -I'm free.- he whispered to the shadow on the wall. ~But are you really?~ the shadow responded. -True, I'm not free yet. But now I know how to break the chains. Now, I know how to become free.- Smiling softly, his lips curved in a serene grace, he knew his eyes were dead.
-Now what?- she asked, irritation twisting the words. Smiling at her, he pulled the trigger. His world went dark, briefly, and he thought he heard a girl singing. Looking at the girl on the floor, his smile widened. -I love you. I always have. You hate me, and I hate to love you. So, I figured, I'd free us. You have a miserable life, and I have no life to live. We're free.- he whispered, his smile warm and caring. Pulling the trigger again, his world went red, and he heard the girl singing again. His eyes, went dead.
