I thought killing him would change something.

That the world would feel different, that maybe I'd feel different.

But nothing had changed.

The city still moved.

People still smiled, laughed,

Existed as if I wasn’t even there.

I sat in the restaurant

Eating alone like always.

The food tasted the same—dull, empty, lifeless.

My fingers traced the edge of the table my mind drifting.

Then I heard it.

Laughter

Table

Lost in their own world.

Their joy felt sharp,

Like a needle pressing against my skin.

I tightened my grip on the fork.

My heartbeat was slow,

Steady.

The shopkeeper had laughed too.

And now he was silent.

I stared at the people

Their voices mixing into a blur.

Would it feel the same if I did it again?

Would that hunger finally fade?

I took a deep breath and placed my fork down.

I needed to find out.
