The Hand that Feeds

by K.M. Mixon

“Yeah, we had a murder/suicide twenty years ago. It’s a creepy story, too. A nurse fell in love with a patient, and when their plans to escape here together failed, he killed her and then himself.

Let me guess… history is about to repeat itself with this new girl

Being the love interest of a serial killer is a slippery slope. One that could end in death for me. For both of us. I’ll eventually become his right hand. And that’s a bloody thing to be.

“This is for us. This is for you,” I murmur before shoving the thick blade of Neo’s knife into James’s chest.

James did not deserve this! How dare you!

“No, I’ve delivered you to evil. Led you to temptation and forced you to partake. And those that trespass against us will be killed from this day forward. You and I are all that matter, my stupid, stupid girl. It’s us against the fucking world. But don’t let your stupid head run away from you. I am your God, and my name is hallowed, and you will surrender to only me.”
