Martha
Meeks stood in front of the door. She didn't know if she go threw with this.
Her mother asked her to do it. Paul had given her a key.
"Okay Martha…" she said to herself. "You can do this." She
stuck the key in the doorknob and walked in. She sighed. This was her dead
brother's dorm room and she had to clean it out. "What first?" she walked over
the bed. The sheets were still neatly made. It was like he would be coming back
that night to sleep. She looked over at the nightstand. On it was a clock and
lamp. Typical for a twenty-year-old collage student. Also on the nightstand
were a few pictures. One was a picture of Sidney. The other was one of the
Meeks' family. The last one was of him and Karen Kolcheck. She looked around
the room some more. On Randy's side. There was his diploma on the wall and a
few horror movie posters. There was a TV stand and camera at the front of the
room. Martha stood up and walked to the dresser. She opened it and all his
clothes were in their places. On top of the dresser were numerous things. Some more
pictures, mostly of the family and of the 'old group' with Billy, Stu and
Tatum. There was a chain with a cross on it. Her eyes spotted the bullet that
was in Randy's body. His class ring was next to it.
She moved on to the TV stand. There were movies spread out.
Halloween, Terror Train, Prom Night and
one particular tape caught her eye. It was one of those self-made tapes. One
the label it read 'Scary Movies 101'. She figured it was a tape for his film
theory class. She stuck the tape in the VCR. Randy appeared on the screen.
"Martha? I know its probably you. I know that Mom wouldn't
be doing this. Look obviously if you have this tape I'm not around anymore. And
you probably know the son-of-a-bitch that killed me. I'm making this tape for
Sidney, Dewey and yes Gale. If somewhere down the line two more people get
killed involving Sid, give this to her okay? This is for them so that they
won't end up like me. There tape is right after my little speech. Don't, don't
let them see this part. 'Cause I'm not really in the best emotional state. So
give them this, I love ya Martha. You're the best sister I couldn't asked for."
That was the end and there was 'snow'. Martha was crying.
"He knew he was gonna die…"
"Martha?"
Martha quickly stopped the tape and turned around. Sidney was standing at the
door.
"Yeah?"
she sat up and wiped her tears.
"I
just came over to see how you were doing,"
"Really
bad. I found all of his stuff. Its all here like he'd be coming back to it,"
"I'm
really sorry Martha. But…" Sidney herself wasn't exactly in the best emotional
state either. "He was a great person and friend."
"I
know,"
"This
must really hard for you to do. You wanna go out for a while. And later we can
do this together?"
"Sure,"
Martha got up and walked to Sidney.
"What
was that tape you were watching?"
"Just
something Randy made,"
"Can
I see it?"
"Maybe later,"
