Room 14

"number 14..number 14... number 14...",he continually repeated in his head as he slid his hands door to door in the pitch black. His footsteps came to a sudden halt as he twisted the handle to see if luck was on his side."click" went the door as it cracked open, illuminating the dark hallway with an eerie silver light,evidence of the moon's ever gazing presence tonight. He scanned the room with strained eyes, searching for the object of his desire, past the sofa which lay conveniently in what he imagined was the sitting room portion of the room to the left, past the clear double slide glass door directly opposite him and to the right where upon a king sized ebony bed he saw the silhouette of a woman,long and fragile yet curvaceous and graceful. His heartbeat went up a notch and the saliva volumes in his mouth shot up instantaneously almost as if before him lay a seven course gourmet meal. Now he finally found her,he finally found the woman who made him a shell of his former self, no not a woman but a demon encased in flesh and bones, a beats with the sort of  beauty that would get Aphrodite dethroned. Yes he found her and only one thought stood erect in his hate filled mind,only one voice sounded reasonable enough to follow so he plunged into the depths of that voice and from it came the determination,the drive and desire to KILL. He slowly walked over the sofa silently,grabbing a pillow with his huge left hand and then walking over to her.while he towered above her,with her back towards him,he pulled out his preferred weapon of choice,a stainless steel large kitchen knife as he saw it only fitting to stab her heart just as she had his and without a second thought he lunged at her face with the pillow hoping it would drown out her cries for help and to his joy it did as now only muffled groans and cries could be heard from beneath the pillow which covered her whole face,not allowing a single magnified sound to escape. "14 times", he said "14 times I'm going to stab you,for the 14 years of marriage that were nothing more than an endless game to you, 14 times for our 14 year old daughter who you continually claimed to be mine yet the DNA tests proved contrary, 14 times for the 14 times you left me for someone else only to come back crawling knee deep in remorse and 14 times for the 14  scars on my body i got fending off incensed lovers away from you." At this point she tried putting up a fight but the sheer mass and power of his adrenaline filled  and enraged body was too much for her. He began stabbing at her each thrust abit deeper than the last, his hands working in synch as if he were used to killing. Blood oozed out of her newly acquired orifices and on to the bed,soaking the black sheets to give out a lovely crimson pool against the back light of the moon.He finished her off with a stab straight to the heart, a place he felt she had stabbed him more than once. This though wasn't the end of his grand plan as he knew a life without her was not a life worth living so he thrust the knife into his heart, a feeling he knew all to well, a feeling he knew he'd feel for the last time. As he lay dying he removed the pillow from her face to see her lifeless expression before he too was dragged to the other realms and what he saw made him mortified and his last thoughts went back to his hallway count of the doors'" but i entered room 14......i entered room 14..it...can't .....be", and his body dropped with a thud,lifeless and in the dark alongside the lifeless body of the stranger he murdered.
