Mastering Murder: A Parental Guide to Raising a Serial Killer. Content Warning.
“Son of a bitch,” Maya cursed as the warmth of her own urine touched her fingers. An annoyed huff blew past her lips as she set the pregnancy test down on the sink and took a drag on the menthol cigarette that had been hanging loosely from her lips. She pulled a handful of the rough single ply toilet paper from the roll and wiped quickly before setting the timer on her phone for fifteen minutes. As she stood in front of the mirror the reflection of her frazzled black hair and sleep deprived eyes stared back. She reached forward to turn on the faucet. Tepid water sputtered out barely dampening her hands. Another frustrated grunt clawed its way up her throat when the soap dispenser produced only miniscule bubbles. After failing to wash her hands properly. Maya glanced at the small screen on the test. A blank space still stared back, taunting her as the time ticked away. She wiped her hand along her shirt and took a seat on the time-stained floor.

Love for Granite
She was love personified. The first moment I met her I knew that the raven-haired wonder that entranced my soul would be my wife. I grew to cherish the feel of her hand in mine, our fingers slotting together like puzzle pieces: perfect but too easily separated. The cold slab that marks the resting place for her earthly shell is a meager representation of her warmth, but it is all I have now. No warm lips pressed to my skin. No soft smiles amidst the tousled sheets. No laughter. Only frigid etched stone until our souls unite again.

Maris
Sunlight filtered through the slightly frosted glass above my head. The rays flickered across the surface of the water danced along the surface as the first beluga popped its head up from the water. A smile involuntarily spread across my face and I had to force herself to focus on what the instructor was saying.

The Call to the Void
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Truthfully, it wasn't the first time the candle had burned but it was the first time in over forty years that anyone had been unfortunate enough to see its bright flame.

Dear Diary
April 10, 1912 Dear Diary, Forever feels like far too long. I know I should be happy, after all it’s the first day of my new life as Ms Mrs. Greta Hughes. Nathaniel is a nice man. He has kind eyes like orbs of fresh ground cinnamon, curls that frame his face and a strong chiseled jaw like my father. All the girls were excited when he proposed, and they were even more excited as they tossed the rice above our heads as we exited the chapel yesterday. He’s a provider, set to take over his family business when his father retires. It was nothing for him to spend the money to buy two tickets for the maiden voyage of this ship as our honeymoon. I’ve never been on a ship before, but Nathaniel says that the RMS Titanic is special. My mother didn’t want us to go on the boat, seeing as how I never learned to swim. I told her she worries too much, and Nathaniel reassured her that he would take care of his blushing bride. As I write in you now diary, we are watching the crew bustle about filling the ship with cargo and luggage. We haven’t even boarded, and I am abuzz with excitement, but I’m afraid I’m not excited like I am expected to be. You see, I am not excited because this will be my first night with my husband, but rather I am excited about the prospect of adventure. I have never left England before, so the thought of traveling to an entirely new country fills me with a flutter of butterflies that until now I thought was only reserved for schoolgirl crushes.

#LLHENRY
It couldn’t end this way. Water lapped against the side of the overturned canoe. It was the only sound in the otherwise still lake. Henry dragged himself up onto the boat and attempted to rock it upright to no avail. Again he rocked the boat, clutching the little black book close to his chest. The pages were already waterlogged and the words were an illegible smear. A shout ripped from Henry’s throat as he hefted himself onto the top of the boat, but the momentum sent him over the other side and back down into the depths.

Bits of Coin
Dead people are always forgiving. Wind howled through the abandoned cemetery, breaking the silence that normally settled amongst the moss covered stones and crypts. Benjamin Mayfair made his way through the graves overgrown with grass to the plot of freshly turned dirt in the back of the cemetery. Word of Jeremiah Hawthorne’s death had reached his ears earlier in the week, giving him time to make his plans.
