resulting in an unforeseen,

deadly experience.

The Bliss Murders

By

D. R. Copeland

Mary stared blankly at the T.V., compulsively twirling

her long golden curls. With more pressing concerns on her mind,

she wasn’t paying attention to what was flashing across the screen.

She knew the answer would be no, but she looked over at her

Aunt Jenny anyway and asked,

“Aunt Jenny, I really need to get some air. Please, I know

you worry about me, but I just want to take a short walk to clear

my head. I’ll be fine. Can I, please?”

“Mary, why don’t I take a walk with you?” she finally re-

plied, after taking several sips from her glass of chardonnay. “After

what happened to your parents, I can’t help but worry and I

don’t want you out all by yourself.”

“You’re right.” Mary knew there was no sense in pushing

it. Aunt jenny wasn’t about to let her go out. “You know, actually I

am a little tired. Maybe tomorrow we can go out for a while.”

“You got a deal. I’m a little tired myself....

Mary, I know it’s been a harrowing week for you, and I want you

to know, I’m here for you, anytime.”

“Thanks Aunt Jenny.”

Mary went to her bed, pretending to go to sleep, as she patiently

waited for Aunt Jenny to pass out.

It was inevitable after Jenny con-

sumed nearly the entire bottle of

chardonnay. She needed to get out

of there. Mary knew he was watch-

ing her, waiting to catch her alone.

From the elegant bay windows of

the hotel suite, the tall threatening

figure lurked outside, trying to hide

his presence behind trees, cars, and

buildings. She needed to take care

of this this, of him.

Finally! Mary thought as she heard the obnoxious snoring com-

ing from the bed next to hers. She covered her tiny figure with a black

t-shirt and jean skirt, and slipped her feet into the tennis shoes. Grabbing

her backpack, she quietly slipped out of the hotel room, determined to

get out. She ran across the weakly lit parking lot of Meyers Inn, and

made her way to the park across the street. The clouds began to turn gray

as lightning cut through the evening sky. A strong aroma of rain

consumed the unusually warm autumn evening. As she walked towards

the iron bench hidden among the elm trees, she noticed the man

approaching her in a suspicious manner.

She giggled

as Henry’s

eyes filled

with horror.

It was nearly 80 degrees outside yet the man wore a sweat jacket

with the hood pulled over his head, partially blocking his face. Mary

didn’t stop or slow down. She wasn’t about to do that. She knew exactly

who it the man was, it was Henry Mason. Although she never personally

met him, she had seen him around over the years. Her adrenaline

pumping and heart racing, she finally met him face to face.

“Mary, I need to talk to you.” Henry said cautiously, not know-

ing how she would react. “I need you to know I had nothing to do with

what happened to your parents. I swear....”

Before he could finish, Mary pulled out a sharp surgical scalpel

from the pocket of her jean skirt and stabbed the man in the groin. She

giggled as Henry’s eyes filled with horror.

“Why? Why are you doing this?!” Henry screamed out, moving

his hands down to cover the injured area.

“Because I can, you idiot.” Mary replied in an unusually, calm

matter as she raised the scalpel one last time and jabbed it in to his neck.

Her bold, blue eyes twinkled with captivation.

She enjoyed watching the life drain out of his body. How

exhilarating, she thought! She pulled out the broach her Mother gave her

held it in her opposite hand. It was a good luck charm of sorts. She was

reluctant to leave the scene, fascination withstanding, but knew it was

time to go. Mary grabbed the backpack stuffed with extra clothing and

quickly cleaned up in the park facility, then made her way back to the

hotel room. Alibi set.

Walking up that beaten path

It's enough to make me laugh

The bitter memories flood my mind

Time had started to unwind

You beat me down

Down to the ground

Feeling like a man

As I lay bruised under your hand

Her Revenge

By

Kimberly Brown

No one would believe

How you make me want to heave

But, now the memories fade away

As I remember the day

A smile creeps upon my lips

And with a sway of my hips

I turn around, done remembering the day

The day, I took your life away

From everyone at Deadly

Delusions Magazine, Have a safe

and happy Halloween!
