#13. Shovel
Lightning strikes the tree beside him as the night storm rages on. He heaves another shovel of dirt and throws the heap into the hole containing her body. The dirt sprays across her bloodied chest and the knife that sticks out from where her heart is.
It was an accident.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
But it's okay, because now, they're going to be together forever.
It's okay, Tris, it's okay.
Now, he won't have to worry about her leaving. She'll never leave. She'll be here in his backyard, with him, forever.
Together, always.
Tobias smiles happily.
"I love you, Tris."
Sorry, but this was the first thing to come to mind from 'Shovel' and I loved how twisted it is (which scares me because that probably says something about my psychology…). On the other hand though, I don't think I managed to achieve the level of creepiness that I wanted.
Originally, I saw Tobias as the one who's dead, but then I realized he's the more possessive one so… it works better this way.
