My prison pen pal got the electric chair.
So how can he sext me from the grave?

Prey

I see dead people, and not just the men I murdered.
I’m in danger of being committed because I can’t tell what’s real from my hallucinations.
Everyone thinks I’m crazy when the serial killer I jilted starts haunting my house.
He assassinates any man who shows me interest, leaving their body parts under my pillow.
During the day, his gaslighting destroys my peace of mind.
But at night, he invades my nightmares and makes me crave the depravity.

Predator

She ghosted me at the altar. Now, I’m aching for revenge.
I want to break her, piece by delicious piece. Revel in her terror. Bathe in her screams. Make her moan my name.
Someone from her past wants her captured or dead, so it’s up to me to protect her from the shadows.
She belongs to me and no one else—body, mind, and soul.
If I don’t take out her enemies, I’ll lose more than just my beautiful obsession.

Teasers:

“My last hope before I succumb to the darkness is that maybe this time, he’ll allow me to come.”

“I see Death, and I don’t mean the man I just murdered.”

“Dear Amethyst,

Your blood-red envelope captured my curiosity, but your confession of murder has captured my attention.

Tell me more.

Xero

P.S. Most women spray their letters with perfume. You’re the first who has scented the paper with their pussy.

Brava.”

“No matter where you hide, I will always find you. Even beyond death.”

“Do you want me dead?” I ask. 

“Where would the fun be in that, little ghost?”

“You’ve slithered under my skin and invaded my soul. You’ve made me love you with all my heart.”

“If you agree to be my wife, if you agree to give this poor sinner your hand in marriage, it will give me the taste of heaven that will sustain my heart while my soul burns in hell.”

“I’m sorry, your honor. My stepmother slipped on the knife, which cracked open her ribcage. The police made a mistake. I was putting her heart back in, not taking it out.”

“But can you take it like a good girl?”

“Death by strangulation is usually a four-minute affair, and some people take as much as six minutes to choke. But death by dildo is something they didn’t teach us at the academy.”

“Xavier Wetwang… Long Dong Netherthong, Hugh Cockermouth, and Doug Fingeringhoe.”

“I love you, without reservation, restraint, or reason, but that doesn’t mean I won’t crush your spirit.”

“I promise you, I’m more real than anything you’ve ever known. Take all the time you need, little ghost. I’ll still be here once you’ve sorted through your feelings, but you must never leave.”

“You’re mine. Mine until the end of time. Mine until the sun goes supernova, and the moon crumbles to dust. Mine until the entire universe is reduced to atoms. And even when there’s nothing left of existence but mere echoes, my soul will reach out from the void to find yours.”

“If you want to kill assholes, I’ll be there at your side with a rag in one hand to wipe down your fingerprints and a shovel in the other to bury the carcasses.”

“Love? That’s too bland to describe what’s in my heart. You’re my North Star, my guiding light, my entire purpose. I’m obsessed, addicted, compelled to worship at your feet, if only to sate the hunger inside me only you can quell.”

“You’re all I ever think about. You’re all I ever want. You’re in my lungs, under my skin, in all four chambers of my heart. You’re the blood running through my fucking veins.”

“I have seen your soul, and it belongs to me. I have seen your fantasies, your darkest desires, the deepest chambers of your heart. Everything you yearn for will be made real.”

“You’re my sweetest obsession. From the moment I knew you existed, I’ve been addicted. I would slaughter every man who stood between me and possessing you.”

“I’m not afraid of your demons. I can’t wait to set them free.”
