The Internal Madness

Fun Game

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's only your life that's gonna be destroyed. Think about the greater good. You are saving me, saving me from going mad. I want to kill someone and you on the other hand, by the look on your face, have lost the will to live. But you should be scared - it's taking all the fun out the game - how about I torture you before I kill you? Will that make you scared? Tell me something talk to me freaking talk to me TALK TO ME or I will make you suffer - it will kill me but I will make you suffer...

Horror... oh such horror. I knew Samuel for a long time. He was admitted to the asylum in which I work. I myself was his personal counselor. He was suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder when he was admitted a couple years ago. After a while, he seemed fine. He was released, but had remained under heavy medication. Two days ago he was supposed to come for his weekly appointment.

He didn't come. Naturally, I became concerned. I decided to go for a home visit. The house was not easy to find. It was in a bad part of town. The neighbors eyed me suspiciously. When I finally found his house I was quite surprised. I knew him to be a very paranoid person. He wouldn't forget to secure something which was his... surprisingly, he had left the door to his house open. Out of courtesy I knocked the door and asked if anyone was there. When no one answered I let myself in.

There was a trail of blood. It led to a man. Half of his face was burned off. From the other half I figured it was Samuel. He was constantly cutting himself. His lips were moving but no words were coming out. My immediate instinct was to call for help. But I didn't. I sat beside him and tried to listen to what he was saying. He was muttering constantly, "Why isn't he saying anything? I am torturing... not a single... word from him. Doesn't he understand... that I am going mad... he is taking all the fun out of the game..."

I realized what I had to do. I took a knife and slit his throat. He died instantly. It was indeed a funny game.
