The unconscious murderer
#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 jerked off the ground while I threw the knife away. The sudden movement made me lose balance and I fell to the floor while my head ached.
"where am I? I asked no one in particular. I tried sitting up to think but my leg hitting a body like object made my body came to attention. I bent to inspect the object and I didn't know when I let out a scream. NO!!!!! This couldn't be my brother!!!!. I tried touching him but the blood stain on my hands made me a little conscious of my environment. I took a step back afraid of what is going through my mind. Afraid of the possibility. My brother! my only brother is lying in a pool of blood!!! and there is a blood stain on me!! his blood stain. Remembering I woke up with a knife at my hand. Scared that I might be the one who killed him, I collapsed to the floor. No!! why would I kill my brother???? I tried to recollect the last place I was before waking up to this dream I guess, but the magraine made me gave up. I CAN'T REMEMBER A THING. I cried out loud. Shaking my brother may be hel would get up and tell me it was just one of our normal prank but the siren from the police vehicle outside made me know this was real. I couldn't live with the guilt. I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my life in jail. I don't want a miserable live . I don't want to live without my brother. Then I took the bold steps towards the knife. I looked at my brother for the last time maybe he would get up and tell me I shouldn't do it , but his lifeless body made me angrier at myself. So I did myself a favor of not living with the guilt, I did the polices closing on me a favor of arresting me, I did my brother a favor of giving him justice by stabbing myself. I was about dropping to the floor when a police man held me.
"THE KILLER HAS BEEN ARRESTED JANE!!!!YOUR BROTHER WILL GET HIS JUSTICE........" But it's too late. I smiled faintly as everywhere went blank.
"Wake up Jane! stop screaming!!!!" I woke up to see my brother angry face. "Won't you let me get some sleep? You sucks!!!" MY brother angrily left the room. I sat up. so it was all a dream. I breathe in air of relief as I tried sleeping back but the dream didn't allow me to.
