she lives
I hate late night phone calls. It never seems to bring anything good, so, when J called me last night I got the hunch that something horrible had happened.
"Hello! Chief?" Said J "Eric was found hanging by the ceiling fan."
"Wha... when ?"
"About an hour ago, Heather called me, thought I'd let you know."
"Ah! Shit! Thanks!" I told him..

Poor Heather! First Suzie and now Eric! My heart ached for Heather, she was my first love. Though we'd ended on bitter notes,I'd once promised to be there for her no matter what and ever since had kept my promise.She was shattered when the forensic report of the jaw bone had came in to match with Suzie's.

Suzie was a sweet child, 9years old with beautiful blue ocean like eyes. I clearly remember those eyes, those were my eyes, she had my nose and lips. I loved her like my own cause she was my own. Though Heather never confirmed nor denied but I knew she was mine. Heather was pregnant with Suzie before she'd met Eric.
Once at the local bar I'd threaten Heather with the truth and she'd threatened me back with the police. Ever since I'd been working on how to get Suzie into my life permanently, until one day I'd found Suzie alone in the city park.

I promised Suzie a frozen princess dress and took her home along with me. I baked her a chocolate cake and bought her the dress but all she did was cry inconsolably and begged to be returned. I was scared! Really really scared! I didn't want to lose her, I'd already lost her once and now I wanted her in my life, she was a part of me, she came from me.
I'd had to find a way to keep her in my life. I had no intention of hurting her so that's why I knocked her out unconscious before decapitating her. Then I proceeded to gut her out and chop her into little pieces. I gouged her eyes (my eyes) with a spoon and poached them, they had a salty taste to them, watery and slimy texture, as much as i hated the taste now they were permanently a part of me Her little heart and liver were soft and juicy when I fried them with onions, garlic, rosemary, pepper, pinch of salt and butter.
Suzie! Lives as long as I live, as a part of me, through me, in me, with me.
