Sometime I dream about holding a knife in my hands.

A person all too familier is lying dead on the floor in front of me; her blood pooling around her, flowing from a gaping wound in her torso. I look at the knife in my hand and see crimson blood dripping off the blade and on the to the floor.

Drip ... Drip ... Drip.

I remember Lara saying one thing too many.

I remember reaching for the steak knife left on the kitchen bench.

I remember her warm blood on my fingers as I ran her through, and I remember her body go cold as the life left her eyes.

I remember killing my sister.

I look at her body and feel nothing; sadness, guilt, triumph, anger have no place in my heart right now. I feel numb but free. For that brief moment I feel all my worries gone.

But like in all dreams I have to wake up to face the world and the person that makes me hate my life.
