I know I shouldn’t have done it- so please don’t fucking preach.
Please.
Just, somebody tell me what the fucking fuck I’m supposed to do now.
I broke in looking for a pay out.
And I know that will seem wrong to you-- but I had my reasons.
I’m tired of everybody treating me like a nobody, just because I did some shit in my past. I wish I could take it back. I really do. I see that guy’s eyes every night when I’m trying to sleep.
I wasn’t even trying to hurt him. I just panicked and pulled the trigger.
I know I can’t change my past. But haven’t I paid my dues?
Still, nobody will give me a chance.
Nobody will hire an ex-con.
I’m tired of living in a shitty halfway house and eating shitty white bread with peanut butter for every meal.
So yeah.
I broke in.
I just needed a good paycheck and this house looked like an easy mark. Out here alone, clear signs of wealth and a woman living by herself.
I figured the owner was probably rich enough that she wouldn’t really miss a few valuables.
So I was gonna threaten her. Make her hand over some jewelry and some cash. That was all. She’d be shaken, but not harmed.
But...
But, fuck me- she was dead when I got here. I found her this way.
On the floor. The woman... a mom. Wearing a bathrobe, all covered in blood. With a baby in her arms.
At first I thought it was dead too. But I can see its chest rising and falling.
It’s just asleep.
There’s another body in here, a man lying in a pool of his own blood. Maybe he attacked her and she defended herself?
There’s a gun next to her. Looks like she was stabbed. So I guess she shot him after he got her.
The whole room stinks like shit. I can’t tell if it’s the baby’s diaper or maybe one of the bodies. I know people sometimes shit when they die.
I remember that.
The blood is stinking too.
And here I am posting because I have no God damned clue what to do now.
That baby is still just laying there in her mom’s bloody arms, and that woman is very, very dead.
I know I can’t fucking leave that baby, she’ll die of starvation.
I can’t let that kid die. I can’t have another soul on my conscience.
But….
Fuck.
If I call this in…
… If I call the cops to report this whole fucking mess I’ll be sent back to jail, for sure.
Everyone will think I killed these people and even if they don’t, I’m definitely violating my parole out here.
I can’t go back to jail, and I can’t fucking leave this little girl to die...
What the fuck should I do???
Someone please tell me what to do....
I need a way out of this.
Oh God!

Take the baby, dump it somewhere that for sure someone will find it, and then go back to that halfway house. Problem solved hehehe
God - I feel sorry for the robber. Of all the houses....... This was such a great story and I loved how you linked it to the other one too. Excellent.
