The scent of disturbed and rotting earth filled his nose as he made his steady pursuit towards the cemetery. He simply had returned to unearth the grave of his late sister, Judith Myers.

The only reason he stopped dead in his tracks was the visitor that shadow the grave his sister laid to rest at. He lurked just behind an extravagant headstone, stalking the individual. The girl was alone, no one else in sight, the perfect target.

The girl slowly left Judith's grave. She seemed sentimental about her. He however was not, he was not upset with what he had done all those years ago. The memories of his first kill filled his body with adrenaline as the thoughts of securing yet another as filled his mind.

The stalker paced behind the girl as she waltzed away from the graveyard. The house she entered was a small white house, unassuming amongst the rows of the others. Eyes fixed on the house as the girl creaked open, she entered.

Long strides led to the house's front porch. Listening carefully, an admonishing voice sounded. A mother to a daughter. Another person that he could kill.

He waited until the voices went out and silenced to enter the house. Opening the door, he took care to not make a sound. His presence was not to be yet known by its occupants.

Micheal took careful interest in the layout of the house. It was simple, easy to navigate. The kitchen lay not to far from himself. There he'd look for a weapon, preferably a sharp kitchen knife.

The footsteps of the mother headed his way. Silently he stepped into another room, out of sight of the woman. He was going to kill her right there and then but then they stepped out of the house. interesting but none the less, the real victim was just up the stairs.

As the mother stepped outside the house, Myers made his way up the stairs towards the girl's bedroom. The bedroom door open just a crack, allowing him to peer through into the bedroom. No one was in there but the light in the bathroom was on.

As Myers lay in wait on the darkened closet with only light speckling through the slacks of the other doors, he heard a mirror break. Cries erupted from her in doing so. Perhaps she already felt in her bones that bad luck waited just behind the thin doored closet. Perhaps it was her mirro breaking habit that had brought him here with her bad luck. Or perhaps it was just the simple fact that she fit the bill for a perfect kill.

'what doesn't kill me doesn't kill me, so fill me up for just another day.'

'it only hurts when I'm here.'

'you're gonna be late, and you've got a huge day today.'

'it only hurts when he goes.'

'the calendar is still on april of last year.'

'it only hurts when I breathe.'

'it only hurts when I try.'

'it only hurts when I think.'

'it only hurts when I move.'

'we're the perfect loving family. if they say we're not then fuck 'em!'

'you're done with this school. and with all of this shit.'

'who's crazy? the one who sees doctors or the one who just waits in the car?'

'he knows my deepest secrets. I know his name.'

'without a little lift the ballerina falls.'

'hmm, not a very exact science, is it?'

'oh, you're one of those pretentious stoner types.'

'fortunately, I have absolutely no desire for sex. though, whether that's the medicine or the marriage is anybody's guess.'

'they say love is blind... but believe me, love is insane.'

'I don't feel like myself. I mean, I don't feel anything.'

'your life's not a disaster. the environment is a disaster.'

'I'm trying to tell you I love you.'

'we dance on the edge of destruction.'

'this is one fucked up seduction.'

'this planet is pretty much broken beyond all repair, but one thing is working if you're standing there.'

'I could be perfect for you.'

'I'll make myself perfect for you.'

'you've got some nerve, (name).'

'even if everything else turns to dirt, we'll be the one thing in this world that won't hurt.'

'I can't fix what's fucked up, but one thing I know I can do... I can be perfect for you.'

'seems my wild days past.'

'I miss the mountains. I miss the dizzy heights.'

'I miss the mountains. I miss the highs and lows.'

'I miss the pain.'

'everything is perfect. nothing's real.'

'I miss my life.'

'oh, hi, sweetie! yeah, everything's great, fantastic! I disinfected the entire house, rewired the computer and did some decoupage.'

'the sex is still amazing and we don't stay up that late.'

'look, I'd ask you in but, it's too soon.'

'aw, you keep count? you're so the girl.'

'it's gonna be good, you'll see.'

'do you dream, or do you grieve? you've got to let him go.'

'this is fucked.'

'we have the happiest septic tank on the block.'

'oh, you know? really? what exactly do you know?'

'I know that you're hurting, alright? I am too.'

'do you read obituaries and feel jealous of the dead?'

'it's like living on a cliffside, not knowing when you'll dive.'

'do you know what it's like to die alive?'

'you don't know. I know you don't know.'

'you say that you're hurting. it sure doesn't show.'

'you don't know what it's like to live that way. like a refugee, a fugitive, forever on the run.'

'can you tell me what it is you're afraid of? and can you tell me why I'm afraid it's me?'

'can I touch you?'

'I'm holding on and I won't let go.'

'I am the one who knows you. I am the one who cares. I am the one who's always been there.'

'if you think that I just don't give a damn, then you just don't know who I am.'

'tell me what to do. tell me who to be.'

'look at me.'

'I am the one who won't walk away.'

'I wish I could fly. I'd fly far away from here.'

'he's not here. I am here!'

'you know I love you. I love you as much as I can.'

'when I appear it's not so clear if I'm a sinful spirit or I'm flesh and blood.'

'I'm alive, I am so alive.'

'I feed on the fear that's behind your eyes.'

'I need you to need me, it's no surprise.'

'this is never going to get better, is it?'

'you know, this is one of those moments where you could just be a typical parent and lie.'

'aw, thanks. that's comforting.'

'I'll hurt you. I'll heal you.'

'you know, (name), it's not all about your comfort.'

'I'm your dream, your wish come true and I am your darkest nightmare, too.'

'I'm the perfect stranger who knows you too well.'

'I'll tell you the truth if you let me try.'

'you can try to hide, you know that I will find you.'

'make up your mind to be well.'

'the baby wasn't planned. neither was the marriage.'

'at times it does hurt to be healed.'

'catch me I'm falling. faster than anyone should.'

'catch me I'm falling for good.'

'take what you know and then make it make sense.'

'I dreamed to dance with you.'

'I know the night is dying, dear. I know the day will dawn.'

'the dancers may disappear, still the dance goes on and on.'

'now until forever, love, I'll live to dance with you.'

'I'll die to dance with you.'

'there's a world I know. a place we can go where the pain will go away.'

'there's a world where we can be free.'

'all my fears just sit inside me screaming to be heard. I know they won't, though. not a single word.'

'how could she leave me on my own?'

'now I need a lift and there's no one around.'

'but I can't give up now. 'cause I've never been alone. I could never be alone.'

'didn't I see this movie and didn't I cry?'

'what makes you think I'd lose my mind for you?'

'I'm no princess of pain.'

'I know where this is going and I know what you're about... 'cause I have seen this movie, and I walked out.'

'our house, our own... so why do I live there alone?'

'our house was home long ago.'

'take this chance, 'cause it might be our last. to be free. to let go of the past.'

'I ache to the bone. I can't get through this alone.'

'take this chance, an we'll make a new start.'

The scent of disturbed and rotting earth filled his nose as he made his steady pursuit towards the cemetery. He simply had returned to unearth the grave of his late sister, Judith Myers.

The only reason he stopped dead in his tracks was the visitor that shadow the grave his sister laid to rest at. He lurked just behind an extravagant headstone, stalking the individual. The girl was alone, no one else in sight, the perfect target.

The girl slowly left Judith's grave. She seemed sentimental about her. He however was not, he was not upset with what he had done all those years ago. The memories of his first kill filled his body with adrenaline as the thoughts of securing yet another as filled his mind.

The stalker paced behind the girl as she waltzed away from the graveyard. The house she entered was a small white house, unassuming amongst the rows of the others. Eyes fixed on the house as the girl creaked open, she entered.

Long strides led to the house's front porch. Listening carefully, an admonishing voice sounded. A mother to a daughter. Another person that he could kill.

He waited until the voices went out and silenced to enter the house. Opening the door, he took care to not make a sound. His presence was not to be yet known by its occupants.

Micheal took careful interest in the layout of the house. It was simple, easy to navigate. The kitchen lay not to far from himself. There he'd look for a weapon, preferably a sharp kitchen knife.

The footsteps of the mother headed his way. Silently he stepped into another room, out of sight of the woman. He was going to kill her right there and then but then they stepped out of the house. interesting but none the less, the real victim was just up the stairs.

As the mother stepped outside the house, Myers made his way up the stairs towards the girl's bedroom. The bedroom door open just a crack, allowing him to peer through into the bedroom. No one was in there but the light in the bathroom was on.

The scent of disturbed and rotting earth filled his nose as he made his steady pursuit towards the cemetery. He simply had returned to unearth the grave of his late sister, Judith Myers.

The only reason he stopped dead in his tracks was the visitor that shadow the grave his sister laid to rest at. He lurked just behind an extravagant headstone, stalking the individual. The girl was alone, no one else in sight, the perfect target.

The girl slowly left Judith's grave. She seemed sentimental about her. He however was not, he was not upset with what he had done all those years ago. The memories of his first kill filled his body with adrenaline as the thoughts of securing yet another as filled his mind.

The stalker paced behind the girl as she waltzed away from the graveyard. The house she entered was a small white house, unassuming amongst the rows of the others. Eyes fixed on the house as the girl creaked open, she entered.

Long strides led to the house's front porch. Listening carefully, an admonishing voice sounded. A mother to a daughter. Another person that he could kill.

He waited until the voices went out and silenced to enter the house. Opening the door, he took care to not make a sound. His presence was not to be yet known by its occupants.

Micheal took careful interest in the layout of the house. It was simple, easy to navigate. The kitchen lay not to far from himself. There he'd look for a weapon, preferably a sharp kitchen knife.
