Short Murder Stories

The Man

 He was standing in the middle of the street. Just waiting, he didn't know what for but he knew he was supposed to be there. His face was cold and emotionless. He had lost everything at this point. His mushroom hair blowing gently in the breeze. People rushed past others on the sidewalks. All of them have a purpose in life. All of them going somewhere they have to be. Not noticing anyone else around them. Especially not a teenage boy standing in the middle of the street.

Nobody noticed the girl standing behind him. Tears silently sliding down her cheeks. Dagger in hand. Her hands shaking as she grasped the dagger. She was scared. Terrified. She felt guilty, yet no regret for her decision on what she was about to do. Sure, she loved this man, but what he did was unforgivable.

She slowly took a step closer to him. Her legs were numb. She couldn't feel anything. Her hand subconsciously moving to her abdomen. She swung her arm around the dagger sliced through his thin shirt and into his skin. She felt the impact of the dagger against his bone. Pulling the dagger out, she saw blood soak into his shirt as he cried out in agony and collapsed to the ground. She continued stabbing the knife into his body as she cried out in sorrow and anger. She didn't stop until his body laid limp on the ground. Blood pooling around him. His limbs twitching and his breathing raspy. She had missed any vital spots but he would soon bleed out. Some people watched from the sidewalk but others didn't even know what had occurred.

"I will never forgive you," she cried out as she threw the dagger at him one more time before stumbling back and running off.

"I.....will......ne....ver.....apol...ogize....what....I...did....you....deserved..." he gasped as he took his last breath. Never to see this world again. She stopped walking but didn't turn around and whispered;

"I didn't deserve this. You killed our daughter. She didn't do anything to you. And now, you will have the same end as her," she continued walking. He didn't deserve to see her one last time before he died.
