"The Homicide Diaries"
Entry 1
Again synchronicity.
But of what?
I was having dreams of particularly loving sex (very little blood) along the luminous surf of a deserted beach in Hawaii. I remember at the time I was mentally ignoring my dream-partner, slamming away and concentrating on a single memory to fuel my dying erection.
1986… the plump calves and springy sneakers of High school cheerleaders, me hiding under the bleachers, catching a glimpse up red skirts at long legs, masturbating furiously…
I woke up, glad to see those same legs next to me, rotten to bone, wrapped around my body and hanging from meat-hooks on my wall.
There was no dream girl. This was not Hawaii… this was my filthy basement in Upstate California.
I was not a lover, I was a killer.
Entry 2
That sonic taste…
The waking nightmare I’ve grown to love. The detailed shadows of moonlit grass against stucco walls. The sounds of silence.
I stopped licking the lawndirt and put my cock back in my pants. Despite the late hours… this was suburbia, and there were watchers in every window.
I thought of that old rhyme my mother had sung to me as a boy:
Watch the watchers
Watch them well
They are always watching you
Watch the watchers
Watch them well
For you are now a watcher too
...Mother
I realized my knife hand had begun a slow pumping motion.
I put my cock back in my pants.
Entry 3
I came in through the bathroom window, humming a tune by a similar name.
I killed her children first. Sharp ,swift cuts. Painless.
A merciful stabbing.
Cute little things that made funny noises when they died.
I moved into her bedroom and slit her husband's throat. She didn’t wake up; I knew what I was doing.
I took out her miniature poodle out with a piano wire for purely comedic reasons, then hastily returned to her bedside, watching her stir in the growing crimson of the man she loved.
I wanted to fuck her right then and there in his pooling blood (and would had no moral qualms about doing so) but I knew very well I would be unable maintain my erection in her presence.
She wasn’t like the others. She was special.
(I almost chuckled to myself.)
I have the names of everyone she’s ever loved written down on a neat little list... I’ll scratch them off one by one just to see her in a funeral dress.

You're a wonderfully disturbed man.
