Murder By Insanity

Bare foot

I stroll

Through this

Summer town

The warm rain

Plastering

My hair

To my forehead

 

In my right hand

I hold a gun

The black metal

Glinting

Menacingly

As I twist it

Between my fingers

Stroking the trigger

 

In my left hand

I hold a sunflower

It glows

The brightest shade

Of yellow

As I hold it

Under my nose

Breathing in its scent

 

Something makes

Me stop

And I turn

To look behind me

Staring at the

Bloody footprints

That meander

Down the road

 

A small smile

Slips onto my lips

As I tip up

My feet

To see the soles

Which are

The vivid red

Of warm blood

 

I carry on

Walking

Glancing

Behind me

Every so often

To admire

The beauty of my

Creation

 

But then I hear it

The whine

Of sirens

As they race

Toward me

I frown

Not wanting to stop

Walking

 

But a minute later

They are upon me

Policemen

Jump from their cars

Glittering guns

Trained on my heart

As they shout

At me

 

I frown again

Shake my head

And carry on

Snaking up the road

I feel the

First bullet

As it rips

Through my shoulder

 

The second

Clips my ear

The third and fourth

Are aimed

At my legs

But I carry on walking

Enjoying the biting

Of the bullets

 

The final shot

Tears straight

Through me

The bullet

Travelling right

Through my heart

And suddenly

Against my will

 

I find myself stopping

My legs

No longer moving

And then the pavement

Embraces me

Its hard, wide arms

Wrapping themselves

Around me

 

The second to last

Thing that I hear

Is a man’s voice

Asking me my name

The last thing

I hear

Is my answer

 

‘Insanity’

This was really good. What a way to go! Makes me wonder if the victim was the one who drove her to insanity, or if he/she was a random person in the wrong place at the wrong time. Either way, chilling and thought provoking
