Moving with conviction and purpose, like he has never done before in his life, he walked towards her.
‘‘Her.. He.. He’ll… Hello’’ He stuttered.
Without a care in the world, she continued talking on her phone which she had brought as he was going over to her.

Not to be dettered after having gone this far. Like a lamb learning how to walk, he waited patiently while swaying from left to right.
‘‘Take care and have a nice day’’ she said to the phone. She turned her attention to him and threw him the dazzling smile that was her trademark.
‘‘how may I help you? ’’ she asked sweetly.

And at that moment, the blood in his body obeyed the law of gravity and rushed from his brain and gushed to another organ. He forgot how to talk.
‘‘you know what? I will see you later, I have a class now! ’’ she said.
And like the gazelle that she is, she trotted away gracefully.

But when she walked away, the blood returned to the usual position in the brain and think he could.
‘‘I don’t want to be friends with her, I want her to be mine’’ he thought.
And with renewed determination and inexplicable vigour, he followed her to her class. The lady had no idea he was following her. Rushing towards her class, she couldn’t wait to gist her friends.

‘‘hello girls’’ she beamed at her friends with her captivating smile and they responded with the same enthusiasm.
‘‘I’ve got a nice juicy gist for you’’ she started without beating around the bush.
‘‘can you guess who approached me today? ’’ she asked and they replied ‘‘no’’
“you know that saliva dripping and ugly boy that always move around like a faulty generator dancing on a spot? ” she asked.
‘‘that’s like 50 percent of the boys in this college’’ one of her friends retorted.
‘‘I’m talking of the one that his face looks like a gorilla had sex with a polar bear’’ she replied
‘‘Well, that narrows it down a bit’’ another one said.
‘‘it’s that mentally retarded son of the rich chimpanzee ’’ she concluded.

A ripple of emotions showed on the faces of her friends. From disbelief to surprise, to anger and finally they all burst out laughing. But just as it started, the laughter stopped. They realised that he has been standing behind them all along. He heard every single word they said.
And like a cemetery on a cold night, there was a deafening silence. Emotions he has never felt before passed through his consciousness. Annoyance and hatred of himself and his condition. And without further thought, he went straight to his room and took out the last batch of razor he bought and slit his wrists. But not before he wrote the note.

‘‘no one will hurt me ever again, no one will call me mentally retarded when I’m no longer around. No one will make fun of my condition ever again. I am going to soar above them all.’’ He thought as his blood soaked the oriental rug that was given to him as a gift the previous Christmas by his parents.

And thus, we come to the end of the story, or rather the beginning of his end.

“Most people do not understand the beauty of pain. The pleasure of pain, its desirability” Dawn said.
“I read an article somewhere and it said the greater the pain, the greater the pleasure derived.” Dusk said. “But I have not been able to test the theory” He continued.
“I think that should be out target now. I don’t like the way our last experiment turned out to be” Dawn said.
“But I guess the evangelist is in a better place, or whatever he chose to believe before he died” Dusk said.

Their last experiment was to find out how humans changed from the living to the dead. They wanted to know the moment the soul leave the body and how it did. Although the experiment was largely unsuccessful, the evangelist’s body turned up in the nearest river ten days later largely unrecognizable.

“He had a shitty life but he fed the hungry fishes after he died. I say that will qualify him for some decent afterlife.” Dawn said.
“We were lucky the last time with the evangelist. I think we will have to find a test subject ourselves this time around.” Dusk reasoned. “But I think I know the right place to get a test subject. Let’s just find a party and take any drunk there. After all no responsible person will get drunk at a public party.” He finished.

“You are the smartest boy I know. If not for my hatred for love, I might have fallen for you.” Dawn said.
“That’s good to know. If I ever need to share bodily fluids with any one, I am sure it will be you D” Dusk said. “Call your dad and tell him you’re with me, I will call my mum and say the same. I am sure they won’t look for us for the next 48 hours.” Dusk said.
“It is a blessing to have unconcerned parents.” Dawn said.

On their way to the party, they gathered apparatuses and instruments necessary for their experiment. Sir Isaac Newton would be jealous at the way they were careful and methodical with the required tools. Brand new knives, a pair of scissors, a sheet of sandpaper, duck tapes, a plastic handcuff, several feet of rope, methylated spirit, bandages and a mallet. The questions on their minds were “how much pain can a man take? And how much pleasure can we derive from inflicting the pain?”

“Why do you insist on packing spirit and bandages?” Dawn asked
“We don’t want the wounds to get infected before we milked the subject completely dry.” Dusk replied. “We just need to make sure no one sees us when we take the lucky man out. I think we should pose as uber drivers. After all, our target will be too drunk to care.” Dusk explained.
“And when we are done with him or her, we should find another way of disposing the body. I just don’t want the police to suspect anything yet.” Dawn said

“Don’t worry about that. The canal is always ready to receive visitors. I have that side figured out.” Dusk said.

They arrived at the party hall ten minutes after ten o’clock in Dusk’s car. Dusk surveyed the area for a few minutes and found a young man who could not be more than twenty years of age. He is considerably drunk as he was dancing with a streetlight outside the party hall. Dusk pointed him out to Dawn. She understood perfectly what she had to do.
The man followed Dawn after a few minutes. She led him directly to the car and opened the door for him. The young man lied down on the backseat and fell asleep almost immediately. Dusk drove off into the night.

“That was surprisingly easy to be honest. I just promised him sex and he followed me without second thoughts.” Dawn said
“You don’t think much when you are drunk and he also looked sex deprived.” Dusk said.
“So where are we going to carry out the experiment?” Dawn asked.
“One of my mum’s boyfriends has an abandoned warehouse close to the canal. He took me there one time to teach me how to shoot guns.” Dusk said “The place is quiet and deserted at night. It is also so far from civilization, so no one can hear his screams and pleas.” Dusk finished.

They got to the warehouse a few minutes after midnight. The young man, still unconscious, was dragged inside by Dusk while Dawn carried the backpack containing the tools. Dusk tied him up to a beam in the open space that was the warehouse and poured a bucket of cold water on him.

The young man opened his eyes and saw two strangers standing above him and smiling down at him. The boy was holding a wicked looking mallet and the girl was playing with a scissors. The effects of the alcohol he consumed left him at once. He looked around and realized he was in danger.
“Who are you guys?” the young man asked. And Dusk responded by hitting him the mallet on the head, hard enough to make him understand the gravity of the situation but not enough to make him pass out.

The young man screamed. His head felt as if a hundred ants are eating their way out of his skull. And suddenly without warning, Dawn bent down and said “You scream like a sissy and I don’t like that”. She held his mouth, pulled out his tongue and sliced it with the scissors. The pain was too much for the young man to bear and he passed out.

“That was harsh Dawn. I will treat his wounds, wake him up and we will start all over again.” Dusk said
“I am going to enjoy this” Dawn replied.
