Silence
I walked along the path staring up into the night sky, it was a particular starry night. I then continued to look back at the pathway. I reached into my pocket to see check the time, I gave it a quick glance. It was 7:59 pm... 7:59 pm! I suddenly remembered that I have to be home for dinner or my wife is going to kill me! I let out a stressful sigh, "Ugh, why tonight", I rushed through the front door. "Sorry I'm late hunny, I-" She was.. sleeping? Huh, I guess she got sick of waiting. I chuckled to myself and tucked her in, "Good night my love", I creeped up stairs as quietly as I could trying not to wake her up, I soundly laid on my bed and drifted off to sleep. "Buzz, buzz" a strange buzzing noise woke me up in the dead of night, my vision was quite blurry and I felt very faint but the damn thing just wouldn't shut up. I gave a loud groan as I extended my arm towards the noise. Hmm, it was my wife's phone. It had an unknown number calling her cell. I wondered to myself, "Who could it be?" and why someone would call her at 1 in the morning. I declined; knowing these types of people who call at strange times either want money or scammers. I place her phone back on the other side of bed.
I arose from my warm and cosy bed and turned to my side to check the time. Hmm, 6:30 am, good enough time for me. I stepped out of my bed and changed to my work attire and then I hear another buzzing noise "buzz, buzz" it came from my wife's phone. Hmm, I wonder who it could be; probably the same unknown number from earlier this morning. Huh, it's a message, from someone called 'John'? Probably one of her co-workers, it wouldn't hurt to read what he sent, so I can inform my wife later. I clicked on the message, and it looks like she has a lot of unread messages from this guy, I took it upon myself to read it so I can tell her she has people who want to with her. I read through these messages and as I scroll through them, I am in total horror. Was my wife cheating on me? The messages were just horrible, I feel angered and raged from what I read. Then I finally scrolled up to the first message John says "Do you want to meet tonight?". I have to catch them out, I just HAVE TO. He sent his address, so I screenshotted it then gave my wife's phone to her. "Honey? Your phone was ringing before, someone named John was texting your cell". As soon as I said John's name she bolted up the stairs and said "O-oh yeah Johns my uh... co-worker!". I just want to laugh in her face right then and there but I played her little game and pretended to believe her. She checks her messages and types something. Then she says "Uh, honey something just came up, I um have to go to work, yeah my boss has called me in early" then she turns around grabs the keys and kisses me on the cheek; I've never felt so inflamed in my life. My fist clenched as the door closed, I walked towards the window to see her drive away. Oh, she's in for it now.
I get one of my old backpacks; I loaded it up with some 'essentials' on how I can 'solve' the problem. I zip it up and call a taxi to take me to the address 'John' sent to my wife. He drops me off at this dead end ally, "Uh, are you sure this is the place?" I questioned the driver. "Yes it's the place now pay up and leave". I give the taxi driver the money and exited the vehicle; the place seemed kind of rusty and old. I pull out my phone and put it on flashlight mode. I take a peek inside the building, hmm it looked pretty decent one I walked in. For some reason all the lights were out, I walked around trying to find a light switch but it was no use I couldn't find a thing it whole room was empty. Then suddenly I see a crack of light all the way in the far corner. It has to be another room, maybe where this John guy was and my wife. I leisurely made my way to the room and I looked in and saw my wife with the other man. I slammed the door open with rage and anger. They both looked at me with fear and shock in their eyes. My wife opened her mouth as if she was going to speak but then quickly shut it. The man besides her started to shout "Who the hell are you and what are you doing here!?" I replied back "Shut up! What do you think you are doing with my wife!". I pulled a gun out of my backpack and pointed it at him. "Whoa man a-are you crazy? H-here take h-her back man, I'm sorry!" He started to tremble; but it was too late for apologies I fired the gun and he was dead in an instance. My wife's face was in complete terror as I pointed the gun at her. Tears started to run down my cheek "How could you do this to me, I gave you everything, EVERYTHING". She started to weep. I wiped away my tears with my other arm "Uh, uh ,uh... it's too late for that now my sweet". My sadness turned into an insane craving for revenge. I walked up to her and looked her straight into her eyes and said "Say hello to satan for me". I pulled the trigger, her body feel to the ground, her lifeless eyes stared into mine; I leaned down and gave her a kiss. I sat in the corner of the room watching blood pour out of their body's. All of a sudden I started to feel bored.. I got a rope and tied it to the ceiling with a loop around the bottom just big enough for my head to fit in. I got up on a chair and put the rope around my neck. I pushed the chair off; the rope tightened around my neck. Silence.
