Violence

Johnny was having a strange week. Johnathan by birth, Johnny to his friends, he had grown to be a cubicle worker who sat at his desk, made calls, sold product, and at break he spoke with the boys at the water cooler. His life felt like that show, the office, he was Jim and he even had a Pam, named Amber. The two were often found flirting in the break room when he wasn’t talking to the watercooler gang, and often exchanged glances from across the room. Amber was a nice girl, working as a secretary for their boss as a part time deal to help pay off college tuition. In the meantime she waited for the job of her dreams that she had spent four years learning to perform to open up in a market swimming in potential people just like herself. She had a nice apartment she was just in budget for without making any of her other budgets suffer to much.

She Loves Me You Know

“She loves me you know, I take care of her, and she loves me.” That was all the kid said when I found him in the root cellar beneath the little orphanage. He was on his knees, a thin layer of blood and other fluids lined the floor around him and the statue as he stared lovingly up at it. He didn’t respond to me as I tried to get his attention, he looked as if he were in a trance. It wasn’t until I accidentally stepped into the edge of the blood pool that the child realized I was there. Upstairs, in the orphanage, everything looked prim and proper. Everything was in its place, and there didn’t seem to be any signs of a struggle or altercation.
