There Is a Light That Never Goes Out

60 DAYS AGO

“And if a ten-ton truck kills the both of us, To die by your side, Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine!!! Wow, wow. The Smiths are brilliant, aren’t they?”, an unknown man was humming the early 90’s hit song.  The entire room was lit with diminish orange light. There was a graveyard like hush spread across the room. Overwhelming breathing and the drops of tears were the main noise made. The house owner lady was startled of the incidents that just took place. Death was a couple of minutes away from her. She was stabbed multiple time all over her body and was bleeding heavily. Her blonde hair was soaked in her own blood and appeared red. The pain from the stabbing was unbearable.

  Her attacker was cool about it and had no mercy on her. He stepped on her head and lit a cigarette. The injured lady slowly opened her eyes that was sticky with drying blood. A silhouette appeared to her through the cigarette smoke. She tried to push his legs away from her head, but she was too weak. “Please don’t kill me and take whatever you want”, she begged with low voice. He replied with an evil smile that betrays all innocence. “You think I’m here to rob you? Hahaha, what a fool. That is not my intention. You do not have to know why you are dying. Die with suspense. That’s more thrilling”, he spoke in a deep voice. There was an Indian slang in his English.

  He grabbed a bottle of fresh orange juice from her fridge and sat beside her. “Listen here. I do not want you to die immediately. I want to enjoy every single minutes of your death. So, please die slowly. Put up a good show for me” he smirked at her and took a gulp of the orange juice. He stared at her eyes that was closing slowly. She was moaning in agony. Slowly, she gave up fighting for her life. Her blood was draining out and her heartbeat became slower. She exhaled her last breath as he was watching her with felicity. “Come on! That was too easy and fast. I expected a longer showtime”, he sulked looking at her

  Enough for today, he thought to himself. He washed his blood-drenched hands and left the home at Serdang. He was not afraid of leaving clues behind. It seems he was purposely exposing the clues open. He had different intentions behind the murder. He was trying to prove something by gaining attention in the most inhumane way possible. He knew what he was doing even though it was wrong. It was the right thing for him to do. Giving self-justice, he thought when he murdered the Serdang lady few minutes ago. “Nat, you are next”, he smiled to himself.
