Psycopat Friend

Friendship

By kiki hadiyantoPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Once upon a time, in a quiet little town nestled among the hills, there lived a guy named Mike. Now, Mike wasn't your typical guy-next-door type. Nope, he had a dark side, a real dark one. He was known around town as the "Psycopat" (yeah, with a 'P' instead of an 'S', because he was quirky like that).

But here's the twist, despite his ominous reputation, Mike wasn't all bad. Sure, he had a penchant for, well, let's just say unusual hobbies involving sharp objects. But deep down, he had a heart of gold, or at least copper... maybe aluminum. Okay, let's just stick with gold for the sake of the story.

One day, while strolling through the local park, Mike stumbled upon a guy named Jake. Jake wasn't just any guy; he was a notorious killer, with a rap sheet longer than a CVS receipt. Now, most folks would've run the other way faster than you can say "911", but not Mike. Nope, he saw something in Jake, something beyond the blood stains and menacing glares.

Instead of turning him in or running for the hills, Mike did the unthinkable – he offered Jake a hand, a friendship hand, not a "let's dispose of the evidence" hand. And you know what? Jake accepted. Turns out, beneath that hardened exterior, he was just a lonely soul craving a connection, someone to talk to about more than just alibis and escape routes.

So, there they were, the Psycopat and the killer, hanging out like two peas in a pod. They'd have coffee together, discuss the latest episode of "Breaking Bad" (ironically), and occasionally, they'd even play a friendly game of Monopoly, though they'd always argue over who got to be the banker.

Sure, their friendship raised a few eyebrows around town, and the local police department probably had an entire file cabinet dedicated to them, but Mike didn't care. Because in the end, he realized that even the darkest souls deserve a little light in their lives, even if that light comes from a guy who enjoys rearranging his bookshelf alphabetically... by spine color.
