Friends? A cursed word I don't want to hear anymore up to this day. I've been working hard to get your attention, and you'll brand me as friends? How irresponsible!

"Not good! Not good! Not good! Not good! Not good! Not good! Not good! Not good! Not good! Not good! Not good! Not good! Not good! Not good! Not good!"

I remember myself smacking my forehead against the wall and repeating my same words like a madman who escaped from the mental hospital. I repeatedly did those things until eventually, I fell asleep...

+++++

*Ring* *Ring*

The sound of my cellphone is the one thing that woke me up from my deep slumber to escape reality. Escapism is somewhat of my expertise back then, you know?

Reaching out for that cold cellphone of mine, I opened It and answered the phone as a normal person would do...

"Oi, Jems... What's the matter?"

From what I can remember, Jems is my friend back in high school. He is an energetic guy who plays basketball a lot and he also has a crush on Jenny from what I can remember...

"Francis! I'll send you my location so come here, please just come here! I'm begging you, no questions"

My mind is filled with confusion, I don't know what the hell is happening within Jems's mind even back then but It gave me chills. I realized that something will about to unfold and wake up within myself If I come there. That day is actually the day I was enlightened...

As Jems said, I traveled a little far just for him. I remember It's in the next town... My mind is empty, like water being stilled at a glass... I'm incapable of thinking anything else. So I just stared at the scenery as It shifts from the bus that I'm riding

After traveling for an hour, I finally reached where his location lies. It's a shady abandoned warehouse. In a movie, this is where the action scenes get filmed, but this is not a movie... This is reality

Stepping at the hot asphalt, I approached the warehouse and entered it without any hesitation or fidgeting. Someone that has an empty mind at that time wouldn't even bother thinking about hesitation, isn't It?

The moment I looked forward and turned ON the switch of my mind, I suddenly understood the reason I was called here...

"Yo, Francis... Help me clean this body..."

+++++

"JEMS!!! WHY DID YOU KILL JENNY?!"

"It's an accident, okay?! I called her to the park to confess my feelings, she rejected me! The next thing I knew is this blood at my hands and this cold body in front of my feet! I just dragged her body here! We need to finish this up quickly or else they'll find the blood at the park!"

"You call that an accident, you freak?!"

I don't remember the details before that but apparently, we broke into an argument. I still don't understand why Jems ask my help but... It sure is a mistake of him...

There's supposed to be only one body on the floor but because he called me... It multiplied to two! Great, isn't It? I can't remember how but while we're arguing about Jenny, I killed him...

Crimson blood that tastes like Iron already resides in my hands, the chilled body of Jenny touching my foot and the already faint heat within Jems... I felt It All!!!

I'm not going to be shameless to call that an accident even though It's obvious that It's not! I did It! I killed Jems at that time! And you know what It feels like?! It feels good!!! Finally be able to remove the annoying guy who always asks for basketball here, basketball that from existence feels so damn good!!!

Chemicals in my brain suddenly boiled! Beta-endorphins, tyrosine, enkephalin, valine, lysine, leucine, isoleucine are all dancing inside my brain, taking delight of the deceased Jems!!!

It'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderfulIt'swonderful!!!!

"IT FEELS SO DAMN GOOD!!!"

Even the me at that time shouted those words at the chilled air of the night... There's no way I can forget the crucial details for this is the start of my Enlightenment! I remember myself having a boner for all the joy, happiness, gladness, excitement, contentment, pleasure that I'm feeling that time!

So can you guess what I did? I'll give you a candy If you guessed! Well, the cold body of Jenny still lies there... With faint blood still within her body... It's kind of hot, seeing her like that.

So you can guess what the hell happened, right?! Right?! RIGHT?! I had sex with the dead Jenny.

END OF CHApTER 43....
