Title: Psychopathology

Author: StarWolf (elendraug@yahoo.com)

Fandom: Johnny the Homicidal Maniac

Genre: Angst, darkfic

Rating: PG-13 for blood and violence, though not much of it

Warnings: typical JtHM disturbing stuff

Pairing: none

Disclaimer: Johnny the Homicidal Maniac is certainly not mine. It was created and is owned by Jhonen Vasquez. This man deserves to be worshipped.

Distribution: Don't put it anywhere. Please. Thank you.

Summary: It's work as well as play, and Johnny's senses are dulled. 100 word drabble.

Authoress' Notes: I'm quite infatuated with drabbles now. I'm fond of the title, but not the fic itself. And I've only briefly read the comics, so...bear with me?

He knows he has a disease.

He sits in the dark, fingering the blade. It slices through his mind, the nerve endings splitting with deadened pain. Through foggy glass he glares at the world; the moon is a cold reassurance that life exists, and he will not have it this way. Not this time. Not anymore.

He smears the blood across the walls. Crimson coagulates on the splintery wood, painting the fibres with death. Outside the stars are shining, and he wishes they'd stop. The darkness comforts him; it's all he has left.

Johnny is a very sick little boy.
