Deadly Night Shade

CHAPTER 1 This is the confession of a monster. His name is Dariel Matador. He was never officially found. The only thing found was a confession on Detective Jimmy Verra’s desk. Chapter 1, 2, 5, 9, and 11 are told by Dariel Matador himself. The rest is told from the author’s point of view. The first time I killed someone I was fifteen. I liked it even though I knew it was a crime. I write to you only in confidence. I was a good boy. My mother worked nights as a dancer at a gentlemen’s club called “The Belladonna”. My mother told me I was conceived by a half wit that happened to have a hundred dollars in his wallet coming home to his family after work. I have always hated her for that. When she came home from work she always smelled of two things, Shalimar, and sex. The Shalimar made her smell like a cheap whore. One night I went to the club out of curiosity. I watched my mother dance to a slow love song called “Moonlight Serenade”. The thoughts going through my mind at that point were unimaginable. I felt hate, love, lust, feelings no boy should feel about his mother. As I seen her dancing there I immediately fell in love with her. That was when I knew I wanted to kill someone, a woman. I smelled a powerful aroma across the room. The devils whore. A woman sat at the bar. Real friendly looking. I asked her name. She whispered to me, “Linda”. She was a woman I wanted desperately to take life from. I read many books about murderers, but only one caught my eye. “Deadly Nightshade”. About a man killing to satisfy his habit. A mans obsession would be the end of me. There was no point trying to stop it, I wanted it, I needed it, I ached for it, I yearned for it. This would be my home away from home. I’ll visit there as often as I can. No one can stop me but the source. Her name is Selena Kyle. At least that’s her alias name she uses from the batman comics. She’s a siren, a Lorelei, and Mauve. I would stop killing for her, but I would have to kill her first. After I succeed I will slowly and silently disappear. Yours truly, The Copy Cat Murderer
