Knife
#WritcoStoryChallenge
I blinked as I regained consciousness. I had hit my head hard, or had someone hit me? Then I realised I was holding a bloody knife in my hand.I quickly put it down on the table to clean the blood off my hand. A thought suddenly flashed through my head: I have cut myself with my own knife. It occurred to me that this could lead to all sorts of trouble, including the table getting knocked over and someone being stabbed with my knife. I tried not to panic.
I stared at my hand in horror. I couldn't remember how the knife had cut me or where it had come from. I looked down at my finger. What was that black sludge on it? Then a terrible idea began to formulate itself. All of this happened so quickly. I feel like a monster. I guess it's time to buy a new knife.
