I could almost believe I heard a 'pop' sound when I pressed the awl into the indentation at the base of her skull, a little well in her neck. I had to push harder than I would have thought to break through the skin. I was tempted to simply stab her, like I had done to her man, but I knew what it felt like to do that now. I was after new sensations. That's why I was doing it in the first place, so stabbing her would be redundant. So I used restraint. After I killed her man, she wouldn't stop screaming. I punched her in the face, but I'm not strong enough to knock someone out with a punch. So I fed her some pills I found in her night-table drawer. I pushed the awl in and up. Once I got it firmly embedded in her head, I stepped back. The rusted colour of the awl and the angle at which I had pushed it in made it look a bit like a braid. Except for the way the blood was pumping at the entrance point. I didn't think it would bleed that much, not if I left the awl in. Also, it was a lot darker than I thought. It ruined the bedsheets and the mattress. No amount of bleach would get those stains completely out.
At that point, I was pretty sure she was dead, because the blood had stopped pumping out, but I guess it had just clotted, because I rolled her over and her chest was rising and falling.
Her digital alarm clock was beside the bed, and it said 5:48. I had a date to go to the bar with some friends from work at 7:00, so I lifted up her head, yanked out the awl and stabbed her in the chest with it. I think I hit a rib the first time, so I did it twice more to make sure. I was never real good at biology, I was estimating where I thought her heart was. Even if I missed it, I probably hit some other vitals, because she was dead by 6:03, according to her alarm clock. Even if I did fail biology, I know how to take a pulse. Also, her eyes were open, but you could tell she wasn't seeing, the pupils were too big. Even if her eyes were blind, I didn't like how she stared at me. It just seemed rude. So I smacked her face.
I had gotten more blood on me than I'd realized. I didn't think I'd have enough time to go home and change, and I wanted to be on time with my friends. I figured me and her man were about the same size, so I had a shower and changed into some of his clothes. Then I decided to take the clothes of his that I liked. I mean, just because I had my backpack and he was dead. I'd get more use out of them now than he would.
I suppose I should have felt bad about leaving such a mess, but this way the folks I killed wouldn't be cheated out of their damage deposit, so I actually felt pretty righteous about it. You shouldn't cheat folks out of their money. My mom always taught me to be honest when dealing with money, it makes folks like you. She was right. I should call her tomorrow, we haven't talked in a few months.
I walked down the hall and outside to my car. I checked my wallet, and decided to go get some cash from the ATM before going to the bar. 6:32. I had time. You should always be punctual, it's impolite to be late.

"I punched her in the face, but I'm not strong enough to knock someone out with a punch."
The only believeable part of this post.

it's a sharp pointy tool. I think they call them penises in the UK.

it was alright. But yeah, paragraphs too long, and it feels..I don't know, the end kinda sucked. There's no resolution.

Not a great read, really.
Paragraphs were too long and I can name at least one spot when a comma was substituted for a semicolon.
It was worth reading, I guess.
