Perception

By Monique malone-smith

PERCEPTION tells the story of a woman who meets a man, falls in love not knowing that he is a sociopath. He feels no sorrow for the things he does as he relentlessly pursues her. But the fight has to stop somewhere...he's smart, she's smarter. Who will win this game of PERCEPTION? "You know I'm going to kill you and that mutherfucker when I get out of here." he told me. "The best thing you can do is cut me loose now. Maybe I'll go easy on you." he smirked. "I'll kill you quick and painless." "Cut you?" I said. "That's a very intriguing idea." "The fuck are you talking about?" he asked. "You...you said cut you." I walked toward him and without saying another word, I knelt down on top of him, and I sunk the long, serrated kitchen knife into the soft flesh of his side. I turned on the flashlight app on my cell phone. I wanted to see his face. I was careful not to cut any major arteries so that he could continue to live. I felt the knife go easily into him and listened as he screamed a terrifying scream. As he hollered I slowly pulled the knife out. He started breathing harder now and blood poured from his mouth when he spoke. "You think you can do this don't you?" he asked. I cocked my head to one side the way he used to do. "You can't do this to me " he yelled. "You don't have it in you, you stupid bitch." he said breathing harder. He was so nasty the way he spoke to me. I felt my face contort in confusion and anger as I quickly rammed the knife into his thigh. He shrieked. I stood there watching as the blood ran down his leg. His chest pumped up and down faster as he tried to catch his breath. I went back to pull the knife out as he struggled to breath...
