Dulling the pain
Misplaced. Honestly, an irregular thing for me. I am an instrument of death. An artist of torture. My handle was crafted for my owner to never lose grip, my blade usually gets sharpened every day. I lay abandoned on the cold floor of a basement. Tossed to the side without any second thought in my opinion. This type of betrayal, I can only dream of giving the same treatment to my owner as he had done to his endless victims. Stabbings, quick slashing, shallow cuts, even punches with my handle. The glorious job of being a serial killer’s murder weapon.

I knew he was about to kill me. As I was losing consciousness, a dove landed on our balcony railing. My abuser stopped and marveled, thinking he could lure the bird inside. That dove gave me just enough time to escape the apartment.
