Sleepwalker

A light, a burning white light was beaming into my eyes, as I lied in the thick wet grass, with a warm moisture seeping into my clothes. I was outside. It was the moon. My whole body was covered with warm blood. As I rose to my feet, I realized I had been sleepwalking and I did not know this strange place. My right hand was firmly clenched around a claw hammer. I was overwhelmed by a feeling of utter hopelessness, as if my heart had fallen into a bottomless realm. There was nothing that could prepare me for what I was about to behold.
I slowly turned around to find two bodies lying ten feet away from me. They were completely unrecognizable. I dropped the hammer. Their heads were smashed like cantaloupes dropped from a ten story building. Gray matter and hair intermingled in the lawn. One of the bodies had been ripped wide open from te throat and down the abdomen exposing their organs and entrails. At the sight of this, I went into shock.
The officer questioned me at the precinct. I felt as though he was talking to someone else, like I was only observing. I was beginning to get sick at his description of the scene. He began to tell me how the two people had come to get me and take me home. I knew then, I had killed my parents.
Since my release on the manslaughter charges, I find that my sleepwalking has increased. With my parents being gone, I often have friends stay with me. Unfortunately, my friends tend to mysteriously disappear.
