Beautiful Truth.

“Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again. Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt.” -Mesa Selimovic

Murder.

Back again!

The following is a scene from my novel. I’ve been working on it for awhile, trying to make this scene hit hole as much as possible. Hope you enjoy it (and I’ll try not to disappear from the blogosphere for too long this time):

“When they had first met, he had become encapsulated with how striking her face was. How her muted hazel eyes contrasted with her lustrous black hair. Her porcelain skin flawless, her thick eyebrows just the perfect shape, or, what he believed perfect eyebrows should look like. She had made him care about eyebrows. When they went out for dinner the first time, after getting over whether he had dressed up enough to not make her look bad, he realized that he would never lose her in a crowd because of that face. It was at once recognizable and unforgettable.

He couldn’t recognize her face now.

It was drenched in blood, but her short hair was somewhat familiar. He forced his eyes to examine the rest of her, but with each inch of Amelia he saw his eyes would shut again, closed by another slash, another piece of torn flesh. Randy’s breathing became erratic. He began to touch her with his fingertips and, like a child doing something it knows is bad, he would quickly remove his hands. His eyes led him to her throat, where he knew in his heart most of the damage would be. Instead of just six holes, she had a total of twelve, with four of those holes black and smaller than the others, just like the other murder victims. He rapidly edged away from his wife’s body, his eyes widening. He looked at the walls, toward the ceiling, as if he would find her true form somewhere, anywhere else around the room and not on the floor where that ravaged imposter was. His eyes were wide and he let out an anguished moan.

It slowly turned into a ferocious scream that shook the core of everyone in the building.
