I'm not surprised to read that @erodedthoughts was waiting for the knife. He can be so macabre. Beginnings are exciting, but the middle is where we live, and eventually the end is where we die, and it is only by developing the middle that we have any satisfying end.
Actually I am the dark and morbid one. My writing usually has someone dying a very horrific death; that is why he was waiting for the knife. I did not write it that way; because he asked me to venture out of my box. :) Thank you for taking time to read my story :)
