Perfect boyfriend turned killer

Johnny has been acting strange

Ever since he saw that devastating news

He reassured her he was fine

He just had a headache

Nothing to worry about or so she thought.

She watched him from the window

His back turned against her

He was not moving

She saw the glint next

In one swift motion

He struck.

She ran into the house

And her thoughts were confirmed

Her perfect boyfriend

Just turned into a killer and murdered his friend.

He woke up with a splitting headache

His girlfriend had been texting him that morning

They were supposed to meet later

He just had one thing to do before then.

He had not been the same

Since he saw the news of a murder two days before

He was not in control of his body

Sometimes, he was.

This morning,

Johnny was not in control

Because if he was, why did he do it?

In the blink of an eye, he split his skull in two.

Since he got kicked out of his apartment

Johnny had been letting him sleep on the couch

But Johnny has been acting strange no less.

Hungover,

the statue holding an axe scared him

He tripped and knocked over a stack of plates

Johnny hates loud noises

Especially in the morning

“Fuck, He’s going to kill me”

Out the corner of his eyes

He saw Johnny emerge from his room

he bent down to pick up the broken pieces

Feeling his presence behind him

He stood up and turned around

“Johnny” the first word he spoke that morning, and the last he ever spoke.
