The Ripper

By SeekingNirvana

Cold air all about me as I stood in triumph. And I grinned in exstacy as I saw that the deed hast been done. For no one had seen, they haden't uttered a sound. But that didn't matter. No man was within earshot of this wretched place. It then drew upon me that I was where I was, and had indeed done what I had set out to do.
Knowing this, pride swept through my pulsating veins. Incredible, agonizing joy became my thoughts and I knelt to the ground to right myself.
"To live is to die." I assured myself as a cold wind whipped my face and ensnared the senses. I am who I am. For it is this which grants the right to call myelf 'I'.
