DEAD BY INNOCNCE
There was one small town in North Europe, called Megaland. That town was so small that every resident of the town knew all other residents and here always was peace and silence in the streets of this tiny town.
There lived one couple in the lovely house. The house was in the suburb, not so close to the centre of the town. The mentioned couple were very happy because they had each other and they didn't want any other things to be happy. They were young and they loved each other so, so much. Their names were Michael and Katrine. Michael was working for the store, near Megaland. He was on duty 3 times a week. So Katrine sometimes was staying alone at home all night long...
And the new day has come. That was late winter morning. The sky was cold blue and the motionless air was carried by the winter wind from one place to another. That was terrifying, but such lovely... Michael stood up, dressed up and had his breakfast. Then he came to Katrine and they kissed each other. After that, Michael opened the door and went to work. He was on duty that night so Katrine was a bit depressed because of that fact.
Evening has come. There was heavily snowing outside... The cold had taken monopoly upon everything – living or dead. It was ruling everything and everyone and nothing and no one could stand against that cruel tyrant.
Katrine was alone at home, watching TV which was full of trash, collected by content makers and journalists, who were making such low-quality shows and the other trending things just because they had not any other choice in their life... katrine was holding the controller and was moving from one trash to other without any pleasure. She was tired and bored with everything... And really, her life was such boring indeed...
Suddenly Katrine heard knocking on the door. Katrine moved her legs slowly because he was tired of everything and stood on the floor. She went to the door a bit irritated as it was late enough for the guests and besides, she wasn't waiting for anyone that day. He opened the door.
Can you imagine the situation? It's early morning. There's an endless mist outside and snowing heavily. Michael is at home, standing in the middle of the gloomy room. The room is full of blood, everywhere, on every little part of the walls and floor. Michael is standing here alone, but not alone at the same time. There's Katrine's soulless and motionless corpse on the floor gazing at Michael. But who knows, maybe Michael is dead too? Not physically but mentally...
And here came one another day. Look at this snow, there are enormous chaotic footprints on it, looks like a big crowd has crushed tiny, fluffy fractals on their way. Oh, here we have that crowd... They go through the small path towards the graveyard. Katrine is with them too, but she is not walking like the others. She is lying in the coffin, her dazzling face is staring at the grey sky, full of grey clouds and hopeless cold... She is calm, she is not depressed anymore and doesn't care anything about this universe. Maybe she feels better now but who knows... Maybe she isn't feeling anything at all... And the crowd has already reached the graveyard. Tombs and bare nature with black-and-white background seem to be in a harmony with each other. The fat men put the coffin into the deep hole, made as katrine's gate of eternity and infinite freedom. They did all their job, now Katrine will be in an oblivion until the end of the time. No one can help her now and those useless actions can't give her a chance to live again in this cruel world, cursed by something or someone, mighty and powerful... Katrine's grave covered again with absolutely white snow.
1 week passed... Michael's and katrine's house was locked, maybe forever. 1 month passed and for that time the house looked like to be abandoned. But the cemetery has got a new guest. The residents of Megaland claimed that they heard the sound of despaired and heartbreaking crying every single night. They tried to find out who was there but couldn't identify the guest's identity.
2 months have gone somewhere... March has come. The police announced 3 suspected person of the brutal murder of katrine. They were John Jefferson, Bob Smith and Aaron Dark. They were arrested but after a week police were due to free them because no proofs were found. That day was the last when the residents heard suspicious sounds from the cemetery.
An awful news shocked the whole city. In the middle of the city centre, had been found the corpse of John Jefferson. His head was chopped by the axe and his skull was smashed into pieces. The corpse had an epigraph on the stomach, made by a knife: "This is just beginning"...
The spring had come to an end. The summer was coming on and everything was getting brighter and hotter. Seemed like everything was happy. Even the molecules of the air were playing to each other and were flying in the endless space, full of sunbeams and pleasant scent of the flowers. And who could imagine that this day could be such brutal? Someone found a hanging man's corpse in the west part of the town. That was Bob Smith. His face was skinned and blood was pouring on his body. Police found another epigraph on the back of the head, saying: "I feel better now, half of the work is done".
The autumn has come. Everyone forgot everything about this case because the mankind knows how to ignore important things and lie that everything is fine, but nothing is fine and no one as well. they ignored the murder of katrine, they said that it was disgusting, shameful, shocking, scary, etc... But did nothing except burying the already-dead body in the cruel and dark ground. That was the reason why they found the gutted corpse of Aaron Dark. He had his ears cut and had an epigraph on his chest: "one more step and done"... That was clear that Michael did all of those things and one part of residents even said that they deserved this way of the death. but another part said that Michael didn't have the right to do this, even if he was right. But all of them had a question, they could not understand why Michael wrote that one more step was needed as all the suspected persons were already murdered. Some of them thought that Michael was going to kill them all because maybe he would think that Katrine's death was their fault too and they even became nervous a bit because someone could change their unpleasant and useless life.
Michael has got his revenge indeed. He killed every animal-like creature but he wasn't in peace even after that. That was already December, cold and sadness had returned in the air and started desolating everything on their way once more. The gravedigger found the frozen corpse, lying on the grave of Katrine. Yeah, you are right, that was Michael. he was lying on the soft snow and there was red coloured lines and drops around him, made by his cursed blood, cursed by loneliness and hate, hate of every inch of the universe. The letter was found in his pocket:
"I really loved you, Katrine. But they take you from me I don't know where... I did what I had to do at all. That was intended. I do not regret my decision but after all that, I can't feel any better. I knew I would die and now I die here with you. What was my life? Just nothingness, just disappointment, just pain... I don't wanna live anymore in this f****ing world".
Michael was buried too. He was cold, he couldn't feel anything and he even was, somehow, happy about that. No one cried at his funeral, because he was lonely...
That night there came a little bird to Michael's grave. He settled under the cross, standing on the top of the grave. Maybe that bird was the only creature who could understand Michael's sorrow and feelings as it was dead inside too, maybe humans killed its little children and ate, or maybe an "innocent" little boy threw stones and destroyed its nest...
