He was anxious for everyone to go to bed. He washed his hands and cleaned his knife.
I need those little fuckers to go to bed he thought to himself looking at the way the knife reflected the florescent blueish light.
"Good-night daddy."
"Get your little butt to bed. Your brother too." He keeps the knife hidden by keeping it in front of his chest.
"Will you read a story to us?" she asks twisting her toes around on the floor.
He feels his face get red hot. "NOT TONIGHT."
The sound wave makes her take a step back. "ppplease."
Karl feels the knife of the blade with his thumb, cutting himself so that he can feel again - keeping himself from harming one he loves so much. The little shits need to go to bed. "What did I say?" Before she has a chance to respond, he says, "Now."
Karl sat behind the beat up ford's steering wheel he had stolen a week early staring intently at the entrance into the Lounge G Spooks. The song on the radio reminds him of the time he had met Mag. He had his Harley. She had the looks. Now he has the kids. She has all the time in the world to fool around with other men.
It was Mag's time to get off of work. It was twenty minutes past before he saw her come out with a trucker holding her arm in his.
It wasn't like her to be leaving with another man straight from work. He was unsure of her motivation for changing that pattern. Maybe she feels the blade sticking in her and can't shake the feeling. A gross smile crosses his lips.
Karl followed the rig Meg was in from a couple cars behind. They travelled on the east highway toward the outskirts of town. At least they are going to make this easy for you.
A porcupine on the side of the road is being eaten by a vulture. What eats the bodies I've tossed away? That reminded him that he was going to have to figure out a better spot to get rid of the bodies instead of piling them up in the garage.
Cutting and chopping up the bodies where not what he was in to. That part made him feel and look it too. He remembered the day when his daughter had almost caught him in the act of hiding a body.
"Are you sick," she asked.
In ways you could never imagine. "No. Just feeling tired. That is all. Go and play with your dolls."
