Blood soaked into his new dress shirt, staining it bright
red. He stared at her dead soulless eyes. They looked up at the clouds without
really seeing them. His sobs choked him, he couldn’t breathe. He rocked back
and forth by her body. He had done it; he had taken the gun and shot her. But
she wasn’t her anymore. She was a devil in disguise. She was dead long before
he had shot her. Her body was just a shell of who she used to be. “I’m Sorry!!”
He said over and over, his voice cracking. He choked on every word. “I’m so
sorry.” He couldn’t look at her anymore. He didn’t want to see her like this.
He closed his eyes and remembered the day at the park.
“DON’T EAT THAT!” He
yelled. She paused mid-chew. “What?” She asked startled.
“That one is for after lunch…..” He said slowly taking the cream puff from her
hand. Safely tucked inside was an engagement ring. “Okaaayy..” She said
suspiciously. They ate lunch together and soon it was time. He couldn’t stop
smiling and she noticed. “Johnny what’s going on?” She asked. He tried to hide
his grin, but failed. “Nothing!” He handed her the cream puff from earlier.
Little did he know it was the wrong one. “Just don’t take a big bite okay? You
might choke.” She slowly took a bite. “Mmmm these are good Johnny.” He took a bite
of his, swallowing the ring. He coughed
and then a look of panic crossed his face. “OH NO!” He yelled. “SHIT! I gave
you the wrong one!” He cried. “Well
babe..a couple days from now you’re gonna understand all this…but uh..for now
just enjoy your cream puff.” Liz looked at him like he was crazy. It was
going to be awhile till they saw that ring again.
When he heard the police sirens in the distance, he knew
what he had to do. He couldn’t go on living this life without her. “For you
Liz.” He grabbed the gun. The bullet shot out from the barrel, making its way
through his throat and out the back of his head. They lay there together,
staring up at the clouds without really seeing them.
