I pulled up to my apartment, and got out of my car. I got some bags out from the trunk. Then I unlocked the door and walked in. "Hey, I'm back Zelene." "How much were you able to get?" I put the bags on the table, some of the money fell out. "A good couple thousand." "Good the rent is due tomorrow.
Wow, to think that just fourteen months ago we we're prisoners in that awful place. Now we have food, an apartment, three cars, and you always seen to be able to get money every month." She sat down to me on the couch. "We've been through so much, and we've grown so close." Her face was inches from mine, her voice was soft and compassionate. Her lips met mine, the feeling was staggering. She pulled back, there was only silence as we looked into each others' eyes. They were so filled with love and longing.
Then they grew wide with pain and shock. Blood dripped down my arm and onto the couch. I used free hand to gently close her eyes. As I swallowed her heart, I set her on our bed. I washed my hands and arms then the couch. I stripped Zelene down out of her cloths and threw them in the trash. I cleaned her body and the blood on the bed and the blood that fell onto the floor. I collected all of the money in the house, and neatly laid it by her body. I kept a couple hundred and put it in my wallet, "Now to see what's so great about America.
Over the intercom I heard, "Flight 315 for Buffalo departs in twenty minutes." I had my ticket and headed for the platform. I sat down in my seat, I could feel every other passenger stare at me.
"This is your captain speaking, we will be landing in New York shortly. We ask that you fasten your seatbelts." I stood up, as I walked to the front of the plane I grabbed a steward by the neck. I'd like your attention please! Everyone is to now put all their money in the bag in front of me. If you don't then I'll crush this pretty little girl's neck." No one made a move, I hardened my grip on the girl's throat. She gasped for breath, wincing at the pain. "Wait! Stop! Don't I'll pay!" The man walked up and put his money in the bag. "I will take no less than twenty dollars for each person on this plane. That means I'm getting a minimum of eight hundred dollars. Anyone who doesn't comply will be thrown out of the plane." The people came in a steady line, I counted at least nine hundred and fifty dollars. I let go of the stewardess and bent down to get the money. I heard the man come up behind me. I turned around and grabbed his heart. His blood dribbled from his mouth, I licked the blood from his face. Then I whispered in his ear, "You died a hero." The crowd gasped, someone threw up as I ate his heart. I cleaned the blood off my hands with his shirt. I picked up the bag, and slung it over my shoulder. I zipped up my vest, "You may want to make sure you're all buckled up. You have until I get to the door." People were madly buckling up, screaming, panicking. I was at the door when the captain's door opened. The captain ran at me, "Hey! Stop what are you thinking? Get away from that door." Just as he got three feet away from me, I opened the door. The massive decompression created a vacuum that pulled the captain off his feet. As he went out the door I jumped out after him. I watched the plane fly away and get smaller. I could just make out the coast of New York. I floated down next to the pilot. "How you doing buddy?" My cruel smile covered my face. "Oh my god, oh my god! We're gonna die, we're gonna die!" "On the contrary, you're going to die." The water raced up at us. The pilot's heart raced faster and faster until, it stopped. I dived into the water, the cold freezing water. I was drying in the setting sun, the air growing cold. "I need a place to stay for the night." "Hey, kid wearing the chains, come here." I walked into the ally. "I heard that you need a place to stay for the night. I known a great place for you to stay the night, follow me." I shrugged and followed the guy. He led me to an old abandoned hotel, we at least it would have been abandoned. Inside there were at least twenty or more thugs, thieves and robbers. "Now you can stay here, if you give us each fifty bucks. If you don't then we'll all be really sad and to help us release that sadness we'll just have to kill you." "I have a better idea, you each get to shot me once. If I live, you're all my gang." "What if you die?" "Then you get all the money that I have." I opened my counted bag of money. "To make it faster why don't you all shot at once?" They looked at one another for a moment then looked back at me. "Sure, you got a deal." I took off my vest and my shirt. "Fire away." Bullets submerged themselves into my body, the hot metal warmed my insides. A few bullets hit my heart, some my eyes, blinding me. The gunshots stopped, all their hearts were rushing with the adrenaline rushing through their veins. "Is he dead?" "Man he's gotta be, if he is alive he ain't human." "More or less gentlemen, I was human many years ago." The bullets started to fall to the floor as I approached the leader. My one good eye could see the utter fear in his eyes. Then he pulled out a shotgun and fired at point blank. I blew out my stomach, and burned my skin. I looked right at him, "are you done yet?" I could still only see with one eye, the bullet was stuck inside the eye. "Hold on, I gotta take care of this." I grabbed a hold of my eye, and then pulled it out. My former left eye rolled around in my hand, I could see the bullet still lodged inside of it. "Now I do believe that you are all mine. But first things first how do you guys make money?"
