How To Kill ?

"So, you're gonna kill me." Sophia said. "Of course" James replied. "With what? Butcher knife?" Sophia asked. "No...something organic..." James said and left the room, leaving Sophia hanging upside down, from the ceiling. She was in her white, sleeveless shirt. She knew that that white would fade away from her. Also her breath. She didn't know why she was there. Who James was and why he wants to kill her. She was in perturbation…Hanging from the top was tough for her but she had no other way. No way home. The way James looked at her...was breath-taking. What did he just say? Organic... Sophia tried all the ways to escape but the fact hit her that they were in midst of a forest. Dense forest. Maybe, that's what James would have meant. "Gone to eat?" Sophia yelled sarcastically. No response. "Goddamn.." After a few minutes, James entered with a bucket. "Food to eat?" Sophia asked. "Even...in your last moments, you make fun. So bad.." James said under his breath as he placed the bucket closer to Sophia and stared at her. "Your face...that's the first spot" James said. "What do you mean?" Sophia shuddered. From the bucket, James took an insect which resembled a spider to Sophia, and placed it on her chest. "What's … it?" Sophia's voice cracked. "Hmm..hmm... funnel web spider." he said and turned his back at her, "when I return, I should close my eyes...as your face will be..." James said and left the place. "Hey! " Sophia began to shout but, her predator, the so-called Funnel Web spider, gazed at her eyes. She did the same. They both stared at each other as if they were about to kiss each other. And then, the spider kissed on her lips. Not kissed, stung her hard. She felt the venom flow through her veins. Venom...oh no. Instantly, the pain grew and she couldn't bear it. She felt tingling around her mouth, her tongue began to twitch and most importantly, she shook her head in pain. That was a mistake. The spider took it as an offense and inserted its fangs deep into Sophia's cheeks and what, Sophia's face began to swell up and the venom would make her breathless soon. But, will her death arrive so soon? Nah, James returned. "You look beautiful, Sophia" James commented. Sophia went speechless. James was visible to her, partially and she couldn't open her mouth to speak out. Tears rolled from her eyes, and her eyes begged him to leave her. But, will James obey? "Oh, sweet heart" he didn't say it to Sophia. He said it to the spider and picked it up from Sophia's face and dropped it back into the bucket. "You've got ten minutes to survive. But, that's lengthy, sweetie." This time he said it to Sophia. Sophia didn't respond. Blood fell on the floor from her lips and she went pale. She was just breathing... "And, here comes my favorite," James said as he inserted his hand inside the can and took out a syringe filled with green fluid. "Syringe filled with Di-methyl mercury, babe. You know what happens when you inject it?" James demanded. Sophia just shook her head, reluctantly. "Come on, Sophia, I got bored. Say something!" James urged. Sophia couldn't speak. "Alright, lemme inject it." James said and went closer to her neck. He smiled at her and her swollen eyes pleaded him to leave. James gave an evil smile and injected it into her neck. He counted ten seconds with his hands. In no time, Sophia's skin lost its color. She yelled hard but yeah no one can save her. Di methyl mercury is considered to be a severe neurotoxin which causes death in an instant. James came closer to Sophia, gazing at her with eyes full of happiness and he went closer to her ears, "Hi baby, you hearing me? Yeah, you will, for a while. What did you say? Gonna kill you with a butcher knife?" James waited for a few seconds, nodding his head, "Hmm..it sounds like its your last wish." He said as he took a butcher knife from his back and brought it closer to Sophia's neck. "Now, speak lady. "Gone to eat?" Ask me again!" James snickered. "See ya!" he said as he severed Sophia's neck and her head flew away.

The Real Pearl Necklace

 The Real Pearl Necklace Jenny was a bright-eyed, pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace priced at $2.50. How she wanted that necklace, and when she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said, “Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I’ll tell you what. I’ll buy you the necklace, and when we get home we can make up a list of chore that you can do to pay for the necklace. And don’t forget that for your birthday Grandma just might give you a whole dollar bill, too. Okay?” Jenny agreed, and her mother bought the pearl necklace for her.
