šš šššš šš ššš,, Ā (a prompt list lifted from the novel/book with the same name, by vincent ralph, triggers for murder, grief, blood, injuries and general horror will be present. change pronouns as you see fit)
these arenāt memories. they are stains. i couldnāt forget them if i wanted to
the biggest moment of the show happened when no one was watching.
most of our defining moments take place when no oneās paying attention.
i want to say it will be okay, but i hate it when people tell me that.
sad people see through lies.
you can only trick happy people with bullshit.
why would he/she/they lie?
you have to murder at least three people to be called serial killer.
i understand this is difficult.
there are somethings we need to discuss.
there are clues out there, somebody knows something.
weāve never seen it but it exists.
heās/sheās/their still killing and he/she/they wonāt stop unless something changes.
this is our story and we need to try.
i could stop but iām done stopping.
i became an expert in the one thing i truly hated.
youāre probably really stoked to meet the others.
i thought you hated vloggers.
what if i donāt want to be involved?
iām doing this for you.
iāve waited so long for them to catch him and they havenāt.
i donāt think they ever willā¦
iām terrified of feeling this way for a lifetime.
if we made him/her/them, maybe we can destroy him/her/them too.
what if this doesnāt work?
but if i remember too much, everything fractures.
do you think he/she/they was watching?
do you have a mother? do you love her?
itās the darkness outside. thatās when your nightmares come alive.
do you like the name we gave you?
it sounds harmless⦠unless you know the truthā¦
iām not afraid to say his/their/her name.
why did you do it? why her/him/them?
i hate you. iāve never met you but i fucking hate you.
no one can figure it out.
there is something iād like you to do.
i think iām safe but thatās the first mistake. because you never really are.
they have my number. it must be someone i know.
youād better come. youāre not leaving me on my own.
if i want to find out if itās really him/her/them, i have to do it myself.
iāll show you how pathetic i am.
itās a spiritual place, right? itās a quiet place?
what do you think of this place?
i donāt think you need to do that here.
fuck that. tell me everything.
i shouldnāt of said anything.
i didnāt mean to scare you⦠i just⦠i wanted it to end.
iām so sorry, i didnāt mean to scare you.
i canāt remember the last time i was happy.
they keep asking why i did it.
i think itās him/her/them. donāt ask me how. i just feel it.
this is a weapon of mass destruction.
i didnāt want him/her/them to kill again.
do you think this is my fault?
they are right to point the finger at me.
weāre in this together.
sometimes i wonder if this is real, if we really did catch him/her/them.
i get used to the noises night makes.
are you scared of coming for me?
you know where i live. you know where i am right now. what are you waiting for?
i do know i donāt want anyone else to die.
i donāt know what to do. iām losing myself.
i had a plan. but i donāt know whatās important anymore.
i didnāt think it through and iām so sorry for that.
if you ever need to talk, you obviously know where i am.
whatās the point of a secret phone if you never answer it?
donāt think i wonāt show the police.
with your help, we can catch him/her/them.
look, i totally understand if you donāt want to.
you probably didnāt expect to hear from me so soon.
i hope this part of the plan goes better than the last.
have you shown anyone else?
i hope we made a difference.
was it strange having them at your house?
i have to go to therapy now.
i have to talk about what happened.
remember that sleepover, with the pillow fort?
i know what grief feels like. i know how dark it gets when thereās no way past it.
what are you thinking about?
iām probably being stupid.
iād rather hear what you have to say.
i love you but iām not getting expelled for you.
how can you accuse him/her/them?
have you forgotten what happened?
i still think your focusing on the wrong person.
i need you to follow someone.
i need to be smart about it.
i didnāt expect you to be soā¦
itās what iāve always wanted to do.
thereās a job out there for me and i think i can make a difference.
youāll be good at that. youāre so brave.
i donāt know what youāre talking about.
i think you know something about him/her/them.
she/he/they know something. but sheās/heās/their too afraid to say what it is.
was i ill that day? did something important happen?
i barely remember anything.
it was taken the day [name] was killed.
this isnāt a good idea.
thatās why i have to be right.
everything feels worse than before.
itās going to get harder before it gets easier.
we did catch him but not before he killed again.
i think my tears have run dry.
i was so proud of that picture.
but i always thought i would know the moment i saw him.
iām not as brave as you think i am.
i imagine every murder is perfectly planned.
if you scream, iāll kill him/her/them.
he/she/they arenāt going to kill us here.
itās hard to plan when you have no idea whatās going to happen.
thereās no way this bastard is going to kill me.
there is no way he is going to win.
i pray that weāll figure out a way to stay alive.
i donāt know where they all are.
i like your shirt, do you like mine?
you thought you could catch me. but iām always one step ahead.
did you really think i would come?
i kill when i want to. you donāt choose. i do.
i will run if i have the tiniest chance.
i could run now but i need to know.
you werenāt a monster. you were one fucking neighbor.
i killed her/him/them because i had to.
she/he/they saw. i had no choice.
it seems right that we end it here.
what did you mean when you said this worked last time?
i felt nothing and there was so much blood.
thatās how theyāll remember you.
iām happy that he will never kill again.
iām happy that somehow this ridiculous idea of mine worked.
we all have our reasons⦠for everything we do.
iād turn my headphones up so much it hurt my ears.
iām going because i donāt have an excuse not to anymore.
have you asked him/her/them yet?
my life is not a love story.
i donāt know. something will come up.
we grew up together. we were friends.
that is a curse of the grieving: to feel ashamed of our brief moments of happiness.
iām not afraid to move.
so what are you going to do with it?
we should come here more often.
now i hope he has nightmares about mine.
would they have realized, or would they have thrown it away without a second look?
we need to figure out how to escape before he figures out how to kill us.
