August Drabble Challenge: MURDER!
Tell me a story using good, solid prose in exactly 100 words. This month, tie it in to MURDER. Not necessarily the act itself, but that'll be fine, too; use your imagination. I want a super short story somehow related to doin' murder. No need to tag me, I'll read all the entries in September and select a winner.

A pen will do
The first time is unplanned. It makes you feel powerful; demons released, a moment of absolute euphoria ensues. Perhaps, even peace. You seek it again. Deliberately. Agonizingly calculated, unhurried to avoid detection. The second time eclipses the first. You want more. One follows the other, dozens, as you continue seeking relief with every downward thrust of your knife. Until the day you are not careful and end up telling your story from a cell to some silly writer who wants to understand why you did it and innocently lends you a pen to write it yourself...and becomes your last victim.
