The Only Perfect Crime

I committed murder and I planned it well. I knew after I committed the murder I would never go to jail. No jury would be able to convict me and no law would ever be able to sentence me. I committed murder and I handed down my own sentence. No life in prison, I would only accept the death sentence. The murder was premeditated and I spent all my time preoccupied with it. I planned every aspect of the murder. I knew I would get away with it and there was nothing anyone could do to stop me. I didn’t talk about the murder I was going to commit and I didn’t ask anyone to help me with it. It’s best if you do it all on your own. You involve other people in your murder plans and they mess up your plans, sometimes they even try to stop you. After I commit the murder people will say I was crazy or selfish, but I’m not either of those. I walk the streets looking like your average every day guy. No one knows what goes on inside my head. The planning I have down to commit this perfect murder. No one will ever know how hard it was for me to murder or how now that I have murdered I have been released from my dark spiraling hole. I’ve been all alone in this from the beginning and it will end the same way. I wonder if I will be around to watch as the corpse fades away. No, I’m not crazy or selfish, people just don’t understand. If I commit this murder, I will no longer feel the pain that I’ve lived through and can no longer stand. There is no victim because the victim has finally taken a stand. The victim has made a choice and lies down to take his punishment like a man. I put the noose around the victim’s neck and kick the stool so it goes tumbling across the floor. The victim is hanging and the murder is complete, he no longer breathes. In the newspaper they say it was suicide, but I know it was murder and I killed the dark soul inside me. I won’t go to jail or be sentenced for life, I have over ruled my life sentence and chosen a death sentence to release me from the lonely darkness I felt inside. Yes, murder I committed, even though they call it suicide, I committed murder on myself, the only perfect crime.
