Prologue

I look sadly at the boy's face, peaceful, as if he's sleeping. Simply sleeping. If only it was that instead of the truth. He's dead. I know, I'm the one who killed him. I take one last look at the boy, bubbles floating up from his body's decent into the depths of the sea, then turn, heading for the light. I break through the surface, taking in a lungful of clean, clear air. Trying to chase the scent and taste of his life's essence from myself. Ducking back under the waves, my tail propelling me forward as I cut through the water like a knife.

.....................

Before I go on, let me explain. I know you're probably think I'm a cold-blooded killer who likes to talk about her victims like some sick, twisted, insane person. Honestly, if our roles were reversed, me being the reader and you the one talking about someone you killed, I'd think the same thing. But, hear me out, alright? See, I wasn't always this way, a killer, I mean. I was a "normal" person with a "normal" life. Really, I was!

You're probably thinking that I stopped being "normal" months before I killed someone, years, perhaps. But, it was only a few days after I stopped being "normal" that I made my first kill. I know what you're probably thinking "Your first kill? You mean that wasn't the only time?" As a matter of fact. it wasn't. It was the first of many such kills. No! Don't close the book! I promise, it's not that kind of book, it's not a horror story, and I'm not insane! At least, I don't think I am, insane, I mean... Oh, that probably didn't help any either. Look, I'm not very good with this kind of thing, it's been a long time since I've really talked to anyone (it's sad, really).

So, why don't we just start at the beginning of the end, then the beginning of the beginning? Okay, that didn't even make total sense to me. Oh, well. Just, keep reading, please. If you keep an open mind, you might even agree that I'm not an insane murderer. Maybe.

This is a pretty nice start! I love how she's talking to the reader (or is it a he?) and trying to explain, and I will stick it out... if I find it interesting enough. :) So far, it's holding my attention really well. :3
