okay so I was in the shower when I had the craziest idea for this story, and I was DESPERATE to execute it so I finished this part like now. Expect like 3 chapters from me tomorrow. xD Sorry if Jim's a bit OOC, but eh, I tried. D; also, warning, there's a bit of naughty language and mentioned rape, but nothing too serious.
If anybody want's to give me critique, GIVE IT TO ME. I'm always eager to improve my writing and if there's anything that I can improve on I would like input. You can come right out at me and tell me that you don't like it, I'll be happy with anything. :) Thanks guys.
"So, Jim," the boy's father said over the dinner table, "what would you like for your birthday?"
Jim's birthday. He'd forgotten it was next week. There were too many things on his minds to be focusing on such a pointless celebration like a birthday. So you lived another year of your life. So what? Does that make you a saint? Jim always hated birthdays, no matter how many presents he got from his parents.
But he'd already made up his mind. "I'd like a laptop, please."
Jim spotted his mother frowning from the corner of his eyes but he did not react. His father simply replied with a, "Alright, son," and silence settled upon the three of them again.
As Jim had hoped, he received a laptop on the day of his birthday. He set up his own account, fiddling with the settings and just testing out in general what the laptop was like. It was pretty good, and had a lot of privacy settings he could enable so nobody could see what he was doing.
Jim set up a personal e-mail account and just browsed through the internet, looking up different forums and reading people's problems and issues which they had so easily published upon the internet. There were so many people who were tormented and bullied and teased, just like Jim had been before – so many people who needed help getting rid of that certain person who ruined their life.
Maybe Jim could help.
Hi Jim,
I've recently been frequenting on one of the Life Issues forums on the web, considering my current situation, and I was talking to a good friend of mine whom I met upon the forum who recommended you to me. Apparently you're a good helper. A couple of months ago I befriended a new student from college and he seemed really nice. His name's Percy Bates and we're in the same class for English. He seemed a bit odd and out of place at first, and since I'm usually the nice person I thought I should have just made friends with him until he found his own little clique.
So after a while we started to get to know each other more, calling each other every day and talking on the phone for hours even though we should have been doing coursework, late night texting, hell, even a few poking wars on Facebook. It started to get to the point where it became obvious that Percy didn't just think of me as a friend, and there was even a small situation when he introduced me to another one of his old school friends as his girlfriend. I felt uncomfortable but didn't say anything, worried I was going to hurt his feelings or something of the like.
It was one night when we were both free that we decided to go off to the pub just for a few drinks. I honestly wasn't planning to stay more than an hour. We ended up staying for two hours, and he was incredibly drunk. He insisted on going somewhere more peaceful, and I tried to refuse, I really fucking did but he just kept on persuading me, irritating me so much I finally gave it. I intended on leaving him there, but he started to make me feel really uncomfortable, touching me in places that weren't meant to be touched. Bloody hell. I don't want to write this, but I think you can get the picture of what happened that damn night.
He's threatened he's going to kill me if I told anybody, so I kept my trap shut, and he's done it again since the first time. I'm too weak to fight him off and I hate that. I thought he was nice. God. Sometimes I just feel like I get everything wrong. I'm terrified he's going to do it again – I have bruises on my arm and back that I have to hide from my roommate so she doesn't question. He acts perfectly normal around me when we're in public but when we're alone it's just a whole different story.
Please, at least have the decency to give me just a little bit of advice. Just get rid of him, anything would work, I wouldn't even mind if you just killed him.
All the best,
Alisha
Hello Alisha,
Before I jump into anything, can I ask you who recommended me to you, just in case I need it for future use?
I'd be happy to help, and I'm sorry about the situation you've been dealing with. It's a good thing you haven't told anybody about it apart from me, considering that I wouldn't be much use pulling off the idea I had if there were suspicious people out there.
Looking at your account on Percy he seems like a hard guy to fight off, and I wouldn't be much use of a threat considering that you're most likely older than I am. I'd say kill him off, and you've stated that you have no problem with a deed which is considered so horrendous like murder so I don't see the problem of moving on with the idea. A subtle and surreptitious approach would be best to cut off the public's input.
It's up to you how you want to pull it off, and if you want to be paid a sufficient amount of money to perform the act I would be more than happy to hand over any cash I can supply. I was rooted to more of less obvious murder i.e. suffocation, poison, drowning, etc. and then proceed to hide the body so the police will have to find Percy before settling on method of death.
I'll send you the details when you've replied back to me and settled on a scheme.
Jim :)
P.S. It would be a good idea to delete all the messages sent and received to and from me after they are not needed.
Hey Jim,
Thank you so much for replying! I was having my doubts and when I checked my e-mail this morning I was over the moon to find you had responded. I'm afraid I can't tell you since the person specifically told me not to tell who she was.
I really don't want to be paid for doing something of my own benefit, so please refrain from giving me any sum of money, I'd feel really guilty. It's really nice of you to offer, though, thank you. I'd be happy to pull off any sort of stunt to get rid of this darn guy, he tried to invite me round to his place last night but thankfully I had my roommate to back me up saying that I had a whole load of coursework to do.
I always thought drowning somebody was an interesting way to die. Sorry if that sounded sick, but it's true. I dunno, it must be really horrible too. Holding your breath until you can't take it any more…
I vote death by drowning, then.
Thanks again! I really appreciate your help. It's just been rough for me with studies on my mind all the bloody time, and then Percy just has to ruin everything. :\ Haha, it feels a bit odd confiding in a complete stranger, but it's made me feel better, really, just knowing that somebody else is aware.

Hi Alisha,
Well, at least you told me this person was a she. ;)
Drowning it is, then. I don't think you're sick. Everybody has those thoughts some point during their life, and believe me; I've wanted to kill a lot of people for their sheer stupidity and, well, general existence.
I propose the following method of execution:
Ask him if he wants to go to the pub casually, telling him that you were stupid and you always felt for him romantically and sexually. Get him drunk again. Ask for a walk by the closest river/reservoir/lake you can find – if the pub you usually attend is not nearby any of the above listed, try and find a bar that is suitable yet nearby a large water source – and while chatting merrily to him push him in, making it as quiet and unnoticeable possible. It would be best to take some sort of rope with you that you could tie around his neck, and as he falls in the rope would tighten, making him automatically obedient to everything you do to that rope.
However, if you have your own ideas and/or want to twist around my plan, feel free to do so. I am glad to be of service, but please permanently delete all the emails you have sent to me and all the emails you have received from me, as I will do the same for yours. The whole plot would be rather pointless if they were to look through our emails and find we were indeed the culprits.
Hope to hear from you soon!
Jim
Jim,
Thank you thank you thank you. Thank you. You've been awesome. It worked, I followed everything you wanted me to do and it worked, and his dead body is now sitting in a rather large river. He's out of my life forever and I don't ever have to put up with his crap again. You should have seen his face when I deceived him into thinking that I actually fancied him – he looked genuinely surprised, but told me that he was always the one for me! I wanted to laugh.
I can now focus on what's actually important in my life, and it's all because of you. God, I don't know how to thank you. I should pay you, but I'm in so much debt right now, it's unaffordable. Sorry. I can't thank you enough! Even though I don't know who you are, you're still awesome and if I'm ever involved in a similar sort of shit that Percy put me in I'm going straight to you!
Thank you!
Alisha x
The body of Percy Bates was found three months later.
