Bloody Valentine

a calculated killer acts unlike himself

By Portgas D. Sara (they/them)Published 3 years ago 1 min read

Rei looked down at the stained carpet and the man lying in the center of the mess. He felt the anger leaving his body, as if it had died along with the man on the ground; his only gift to the world. Normally, Rei was quick about his work, but this time was different. He had taken his time, and had waited to make sure the job was done. The biggest irony was that this hadn’t even been a contracted job for him – he did it of his own volition. And that had all been because of you.

About the Creator

Portgas D. Sara (they/them)

nonbinary human who sometimes writes (and is always trying to be more consistent about writing). most likely lots of attempts at poetry, and even more ramblings about anime/nerdy things.

    Nice way to use the last line to leave the reader room for interpretation! I did a somewhat similar thing with second person narrative in my microfiction piece: https://shopping-feedback.today/fiction/the-creature-lurks%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cstyle data-emotion-css="w4qknv-Replies">.css-w4qknv-Replies{display:grid;gap:1.5rem;}
