poetry

Eccentricities of Murphy's mind. Jessica Murphy is a writer and poet traveling the states, living on the road out the back of a truck. If she thinks it, she'll prolly put it right here for the world to read.

director's cut

I've been writing some short story stuff, along with poetry. But here's one of my more "darker comedies". Enjoy.

"A snuff film"

"what?" I looked down, then squinted up at him.
"A snuff film! Think about it...we need money while we travel. We find a drifter and kill 'em on camera. It'd sell for loads of money on the 'black market'" He laughed, looking a little too excited.
"kill one of our own?"
"Well it doesn't have to be a drifter...just thought that'd be the easiest"
"Nobody looks for drifters" I whispered, more to myself than anything.
"Exactly! See I knew you'd understand where I'm coming from!" That fire of excitement in his eyes.
"When I said we needed money for travel I didn't mean this! There's gotta be other ways of making money." I said with nervous anger in my voice.
"Alright, but when you realize that we're never gonna make as much money a snuff film would bring in you come talk to me" His attitude sober and serious now, staring into my eyes. I looked away and bit the inside of my lip for a second
"Ok. I'll think about it" I said quietly
