Here's some of my newer stuff, something I've been inspired to write in the past couple of days. I hope you like it. Please review, okay? It shows me you want to read more.

01. System: Korn

I had never felt so disgusting in my entire life, and I had been pretty nasty in some pretty messed up situations. As I stared at the man chained to the chair in front of me, my only thought was blood. That was the only thing I wanted was his blood, as much of it as I could get.

No, I was no vampire, and the thought of tasting his blood made me shudder. Trust me. I would drink a bottle of bleach first.

He tried to destroy something so perfect, tried to taint innocence in ways you just don't go. He already took one from me, and I wasn't gonna let him make it three. While he sat there, head full of graying brown hair hanging low, I waited impatiently for him to regain consciousness before I began. If he couldn't feel it, I couldn't get the pure satisfaction of making his suffering extensive.

You're probably thinking, "Well, that doesn't make you any better," right?

Wrong.

I am better, and that's not arrogance talking. That's the facts. Never in my life will I sink down to the levels this man went to, and never in my life will I do all the things he did.

The clock ticking in the other room was the only sound made until I began sharpening the blade in my hand slowly, eyes tight and focused on the man. With each stroke to sharpen, my heart began beating faster.

There were things I needed to know before I killed him, and I had to make sure to get the information before I killed him. Death wouldn't come soon, but I had to remember to get what I needed to know first.

With each tick, there was a stroke to sharpen. It seemed to echo throughout the tiny room, adding an eerie effect to the scene—as if a bleeding unconscious man in the middle of nowhere isn't eerie enough.

Tick, slice. Tick, slice.

Time to die.
