Maxwell's Silver Hammer, by Aisha Iwakura
Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with a test tube
Maxwell Edison majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
"Can I take you out to the pictures Joan"?
But as shes getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door...
Hilde sat at home alone, test tubes and papers cluttering her desk. She
scrunched up her nose, trying to concentrate as she poured red liquid into a
test tube of green. Suddenly a small explosion sounded, and Hilde cried out
in fustration as black smeared all over her face. Suddenly the phone rang,
and Hilde reached over, and picked it up. The screen split down the middle
showing Duo at a payphone in the hall near Hildes front door. "Hello?" Hilde
asked. "Hey Hilde," Duo said. "Wanna come out to the movies tonight? I just
got my paycheck." He smirked, glancing over at Hilde's front door. "Sure Duo,
let me just get cleaned up, and ill meet you at the movies ok?" "Alright
Hilde." Duo said, hanging up. Hilde got up, and ran to the bathroom,
showering quickly and putting something nice on. She walked to the door,
grabbing her purse on the way. She opened the door to find Duo standing
there, a hammer clutched in his right hand. She screamed, as Duo brought down
the hammer on Hilde's skull.
Bang,bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, Bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
Duo grabbed Hilde's body as it fell, blood dripping on the floor from the
hole in her skull. Duo was positive that she was dead, as he dragged her down
the hall, a blood trail left on the carpet. He dragged her into her room,
opened the closet, and tossed her inside. Hed worry about the cops later. He
wandered into the kitchen, and fixed himself some dinner. After that, he
walked into the bathroom, and washed the blood covered hammer. He kept
suprisingly calm that night, considering hed just murdered his room mate. He
yawned, tired from that day. He walked to his room, and fell asleep almost
instantly on his bed.
Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Techer gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid an unpleasant scene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing 50 times "I must not be so.."
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind..
Duo woke up that morning, Hilde's body stashed in the closet. He showered
quickly, and got ready for school. He ran out the door, Hilde's body still
slumped in the cramped closet. About 20 minutes later, Duo sat in his first
period, boredly throwing paper wads at the back of the teacher--Mrs.
Dorlian's--head. Mrs. Dorlian turned around, and caught Duo throwing paper
wads at other students. "Duo! Since you like having so much fun at school, I
suggest you stay after school!" Duo just smirked, patting the hammer in his
pocket. That day, after school Duo sat there, and started writing 50 times on
the board, 'I will not throw paper wads." When Mrs. Dorlian turned around to
get something out of her desk, Duo grabbed the hammer, and lunged for the
teacher. A scream was heard through the halls as the hammer was brought down
on her skull.
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon her head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that she was dead
Duo caught the teacher as she fell, tucking the hammer back in his pocket. He
dragged her out of the classroom, and into the hallway, looking for a good
place to hide the body. He spotted the janitors closet, and he opened the
door, throwing her in. He closed the door, and leaned against it, looking up
and down the hall to see if anyone saw him. Suddenly, red and blue lights
flashed through the window above the janitors closet. Duo blinked. "Crap! The
cops are here!" He ran down the hall, ignoring the cops yelling through the
bullhorn. He ran towards the back exit, but stopped as soon as two cops ran
in through that door. He began to run the other way, but the officers grabbed
him by both arms and forced him into the handcuffs. Duo glared, as he was
dragged out of the school, hands cuffed behind his back.
B.C thirty-one said "we caught a dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
The judge doesnt not agree and he tells them so
But as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes from behind...
Duo stood in the courthouse, his eyes fixed on the floor. He looked up as
soon as the judge entered. The judge walked to his podium as one of the
officers beside him said, "Judge Yuy presiding." Judge Yuy sat down, and gave
the handcuffed Duo a Yuy Glare of Death (tm) "Duo Maxwell. You are charged
with manslaughter. I sentence you to eternity in jail." He banged the hammer
against the table. He looked where Duo was supposed to be standing but he
wasnt there. He blinked, and heard a scuffling noise behind him. He turned
around, and saw Duo raise the hammer, and bring it down on Judge Yuy's skull.
Judge Yuy slumped over on his poduim as Duo was jumped by 5 cops at once. Duo
yelled out for help, and he felt someone shaking his arm. "Duo?" He opened
one eye to stare into the face of Hilde. "Duo, you were having a bad dream,
are you ok?" Duo blinked. "Uh, yeah im fine." Hilde walked out of the room,
as Duo started laughing. He immediatley stopped laughing, as soon as he saw a
silver hammer on the nightstand, a puddle of red underneath it.
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Came down upon his head
Bang, bang, Maxwell's silver hammer
Made sure that he was dead
