For Our First Date I Dressed in Red

image

The body screams as I wrest control from its owner, possessing him once again. I pull his hands from his chest and they come away red and clotted. I examine him in the bathroom mirror and smile, though it does not touch the body’s eyes. A heart is carved jagged across his chest. I imagine his hands shaking as the knife dug into his skin, not under his control or mine, but that of another. Is this what they call a meet-cute? I retrieve a knife from the floor and begin a message to the other who possesses this body.
