Title: voices (a remake of tell tale heart)




i watch as she chokes out her last breath of life as i sit watching helplessly. they told me she was going to die but i didn't know that she was going to die so soon. i didn't cry, i couldn't. i had to be the one to keep the rest together, i had to keep order. i got up and moved to the room were my aunt laid in her coma caused by her diabetes. three days later they decided to pull her plug keeping her alive because as they put it "we wanted out of her pain" but i didn't care the reason, she was dead and i was useless to change that. my aunt cried on my shoulder and i sat there staring there still staring at was now my aunts corpse. i decided to never be emotionally attached to anything again. i went to school two weeks later because my grandma thought it be good for my mental health. i didn't mind staying home, i liked it there. when i got back to school i went to my locker and put my stuff away when three girls which i could only describe as preps came up from behind me. i got up and stared at them "can i help you?" after i said that they all hugged me one of them saying "I"m so sorry" they let go and walked off. what the hell was about what i thought, i forgot about that and walked to my first period after the bell ring. when i sat down i felt something staring at and i looked back, every kid in the class was staring at me. then the teacher walked up to me and put something on my desk, well two things actually. a card and an office slip, i put the card in my pocket and walked to the office. i read it as i left the office and saw that it was for the counselor. i walked in , he was very old with a little scab on his bald head. he said "take a seat, you aren't in trouble. i just want to talk" then he smiled showing his semi white teeth. i sat down i looked at him as he started talking "the school has told me two of your family have died recently, is that right?" then it all clicked, the school had spread it around the entire school, i clenched my fist under the table making sure my face didn't show him the emotion i was feeling. "yes, that is true. i also had my birthday recently" i told him letting an evil grin peek out. "how recently?" he asked after i said that. "the week prior to there deaths" he gasped at this and his eyes searched my face looking for something, sadness i guessed. "were you sad?" he asked with shocked in his tone. " what do you think Einstein?" i asked in a sarcastic tone as i got up. " but i can deal with my emotions" then i stared into his eyes and his shot wide open when i did. this went on for weeks and in the counselor talks i was asking more questions to him then he was to me. everyone was watching me like hawks waiting for something. then one day as i got off the bus i heard whispering. i looked around to see no one around. then i heard it louder this time "you fault" the voices said. what was my fault, what did i do. they wouldn't go away, i looked around seeing that no one was hearing them, "why cant you hear them, there clear as water. please tell me you hear them." i thought to myself as they got louder and louder saying "your fault, your fault" there screams made my mind split. then i knew what it meant. i ran out of the class room and went to the roof after grabbing some gasoline they stored for the lawn mower. i went to the roof and spread the gasoline. they all watched me from outside after seeing me leave the class room. i pulled out a match and threw it on the roof. it burst into flames and spread. the roof under me caved in and i fell inside the school. i stood up and started laughing getting louder and louder till my scream was louder then the roar of the flames and between laughs i screamed " my fault, my fault" with a giant grin on my face as tears rolled down my cheeks like waterfalls. the flames grew and grew. i just stood there still laughing as the tears kept coming out still laughing and screaming "my fault, my fault"



the fire fighters got there and put the school out 5 hours later when the flames cleared my corpses stood there with burnt mads of flesh clinging to a black skeleton. my funeral was held that following weekend when they threw my ashes to see.
