The Unbroken Cycle

by Beatrice B

He is assigned to Tamara's case, so he has to kill her over and over again. What happens when he finally decides not to? What happens when Hell is their Playground?

1. After I killed Her

The Scorpion and Tamara belong to The movie people who made it not me!

After I killed Her - Time #1

I don't want to open myself up to her. Tamara, another time, a different place, we could be, but not here. Not Hell; The Doll is singing a song and yet I barely hear any of it. My head is pounding. I grin, wide - as wide as I possibly can. I don't regret killing her; it wasn't personal... it was just my job. Sure I'll miss her smile but I know I will see her again. I hope she remembers that we met; just not how I betrayed her.

The Carnies only ever celebrate after your first time at a case, my other 12 learned - eventually that I shouldn't be trusted. I hope she doesn't, because then I can never see her. Six of them are in Heaven, the other six in Purgatory. My 13th case, I hope she is my last.
