>>>>>>><<<<<<<

There was a couple walking down a hill, hand-in-hand, talking, minding their own business. As I stare at them, I hear roaring thunder and see the clouds quickly run gray and fade darker. There must be a storm on the way. It's perfect. I stand up, blood dripping down my arm, and begin following said couple. I stay quite far behind them, stopping and looking at my phone occasionally so they wouldn't suspect me. I take out the two doughnuts from my backpack, covered secretly in chloroform, and speed-walk to my new target. Well, targets.

"Hey, would you like some doughnuts? My mother got them for me, but I don't eat much sugar." I offer, smiling. They didn't see the blood, and took the poison. Perfect.

I follow them back to their house (they live together apparently), with my black BMW with tinted windows. When they park I do the same, and wait an hour.

After it passed I sneak up to their house, and see them passed out in the living room, the TV displaying The Notebook. Ugh...as I creep inside, the storm starts causing heavy rain, as if I control the weather. I kill a few pests in the kitchen to grab a straw, and head for the couple. I place my thumb over one side so the straw is tough, and push it straight through their eyes. Hearing the satisfying squish and squelch of the gummy-like body part, I smile, getting dark red blood all over me. After I suck their eyeballs out I place it in their mouths. They're still alive, because skulls are too tough for a straw to penetrate.

I punch holes with the straw into their fingers like cookie dough, earing the little circles if muscle and skin, for a snack. After doing it on their toes and feet, I stand up and drop the straw, staring at my beautiful, bloody, messy masterpiece. Making sure there's no traces of me, I leave in content, wondering when my next victim will show...

"The Strawman"
