Schizophrenic Suicide

By: Cari Wittmier She nailed her wrist to the floor and waited. In her boney hand she held a note, tightly. Wondering if she’d ever escape… She heard those familure voices.

“Sarah..” Closing her eyes tight, she murmered “What a hidious name.” “Sarah.” the raspy whisper grew more. A tear escaped her dark eyes as she tried to push the voices aside. “Come with us, please!” “No!” she screamed as she jumped up, ripping the nail from the floor that bound them together so close and tight. She stumbled to a small corner and sat quietly as the small voices seemed to knock at the door. Her frightend eyes followed the shadows to the door as they widend. “Do it, Sarah. Don’t be afraid! No one cares, they don’t understand you, but we do. They won’t miss you.” “Okay!” she screamed, wanting them to leave, “I’ll seperate my heart from my chest and spread the blood across the room! I’ll choke on my own lungs and hang from the ceiling by my intestines! My brain will rush from my nose! Just leave me alone afterwards!” The girl walked to the end of the room and opend a small, black box. Inside she pulled out a silver, shiney blade. Sighing deeply, she turned the blade in her bloody palms. “Yes, Sarah! Do it! Bleed, feed us!” She began to cry as she looked up, opening the letter and began to read. “My body will rest under ground, but my agonized screams will echo in your ears. My tattered soul will liberate my power to kill my enemies. Because of you, I’m no longer here. I’m saying goodbye now…” She paused as she heard a slight tap at her door. “Lindsey? Are you okay?” a soft voice asked. The doornob turned, then jiggled. “Lindsey.. unnlock the door. Don’t do anything!” “Go away! I’m not Lindsey! I’m not Lindsey! I AM NOT LINDSEY!” The woman’s voice turned to a demonish, low growl. “If you don’t open the door, Lindsey, you know what will happen!” The girl’s eyes darkend as she moved back. She dropped the knife but held the note tight and began to read again. “…I’m saying goodbye now, but I will return. I’ll come back for my revenge and your blood will shed twice as bad as mine did. Farewell to you.” She grabbed a handfull of nails and the hammer from the floor and walked to the far wall of the room. Standing against it, she bent over, carefully placing a nail in the center of her foot. She tapped the end of the nail. Then suddenly, she swung down hard with the hammer. Missing, she hit her big toe, the bones shattering into thousands of small pieces with a loud, blood curdling crunch. Without a sound, she raised the hammer again, groaning as her toe began to throb. Placing the nail back, she took a deep breath. Once again, she swung, this time hitting the nail, driving it through her small foot. Smiling at the sight of the blood, she wiped her hand across her face, smearing the dark, red blood apon it. “Lindsey! What are you doing!? Stop!” the woman’s voice called out with worry. “Its okay, Mommy. Now you don’t have to pretend to love me anymore. I’m ending your troubles and pain. The voices called for me again. The devil wants me more than you do, and I’m going to him now. Don’t worry, Mommy, now you can do what you want. Oh, and Mommy….” Her voice turned into an angery, frightening pitch as she screamed from between clenched teeth “MY NAME ISN’T LINDSEY!” Despite the crying and yelling from behind the door, she looked back down. Picking up another nail, she placed it against her other foot. After driving the nail through her foot, she said quietly. “Are you happy now, Mommy? Your little girl is hurting herself. She’s dying because you didn’t tell her you love her. Instead you told her she was a mistake. But you don’t have to be alone. Daddy’s behind the shed, in the little hole I made for him after I cut his arms off and pushed pins through his eyes. I think he likes his new home. Tell him I said hello.” She layed her hand on the floor, palm up. Cupping her it just enough so a nail would stay up on its own. She tapped the nail so it would puncture through her skin to hold its place. Standing, she put the hand against the wall. She brought her free hand, with the hammer, back, then swung, nailing her hand to the wall. She let out a long, evil laugh then stopped. “Oh, shoot! I forgot the note! Now I have to start all over.” Sighing, she pulled her feet up, ripping them from the floor, then her hand from the wall. “Lindsey, please, don’t do this!” the woman screamed. “Mommy…” she replied “I don’t feel too good. I’m dizzy and woozy.” her eyes rolled up in the back of her head as she collapsed to the floor. **** Jerking up from her sleep, Jennifer looked around her dark room then reached over, turning her lamp on. Grabbing her notebook and pen, she began to write “My body will rest under ground, but my agonized screams will echo in your ears……”

#29 Only-Tears on 08.09.01 at Aug 09, 01 | 5:29 pm

Beauty can be captured in only a hand full of ways, you have managed to do this. Yes in a morbid way but that only makes the beauty greater.

#40 bloodrose on 10.08.01 at Oct 08, 01 | 1:20 pm

that was excelent keep up the good work it has a nice plot twist at the end the voices have moved on to another girl that was just excelent i cant wait to read more

#41 TianaWhite1 on 10.10.01 at Oct 10, 01 | 1:20 am

I absolutely loved how you added the part about her forgetting the note and having to do it all over again. That made me giggle in spite of the morbid tale. This was extremely enticing, but what a shame you ended it so quickly! You should have continued, possibly making the girl who woke up slowly play the skitzo’s part… That could be awesome!! But, nevertheless, it was extremely well written! Thank you for a good read.

#42 Lida on 10.19.01 at Oct 19, 01 | 11:19 am

i really like the way you described everything so i could almost picture it..i love stories like tht they seem so real… i like the ending cause it wasnt predictable… you wouldnt think something like that could be a dream… almost like a nightmare… or just a demented dream.. nice work… keep posting…

#43 Anonymous on 10.19.01 at Oct 19, 01 | 5:21 pm

#45 Anonymous on 10.24.01 at Oct 24, 01 | 9:25 pm

very excellent detail. u definitly have the touch for writing. i’ll come back to see more. keep up the excellent work.

#46 scythianstyx on 12.03.01 at Dec 03, 01 | 5:22 am

this piece I could not put down…very awesome…you’ve tied the twisted facts together.
but i got one question are lindsey and sarah are the dual personality of jenny?
but then again…so nice keep writing

#47 corrosive_reality on 04.26.02 at Apr 26, 02 | 8:28 pm

I don’t think it was as simple as ‘one of those crappy endings’; by having Jenny write down the suicidal girls’ not, it inferred that a new cycle of pain had begun. This work was strangely satisfying in its gory details, but it relied on stereotype a little i think. Better than a lot of stuff, though (especially better than what i can write!). Keep going.

#48 Anonymous on 04.29.02 at Apr 29, 02 | 12:10 pm

Good, detailed and atmospheric. But it needs more work to look like it’s been written by a true schizophrenic…I believe you should try harder next time and I honestly believe you should write some more.

#49 psychopathicclowngirl on 05.04.02 at May 04, 02 | 2:48 am

this is one hell of a story…..i think you have real talent…..this is the kind of writing they should teach in school so all the dumb-asses can realize what pain people have to go through….my best friend is schizophrenic and she goes through hell because of what people do and say to her…if people read this they would realize what shit she has to go through on a daily basis….but im sure she never nailed herself to the floor….keep on writing and ill ead whatever you write….~*KC*~

Not bad for a human that doesnt know what people like me go thru for you all to survive.

#56 jeff420 on 06.21.02 at Jun 21, 02 | 12:28 am

Your writing is great. The imagery, the sickness, everything. I like the way you think and write. I’m glad that you have found a way to express your feelings and thoughts, and that is through writing. Most people cant do that. You really should write more.

#57 anguish_filled on 06.23.02 at Jun 23, 02 | 7:55 am

that was really good. i’ve never read anything like it. it was sic and twisted i like!!! i could relate with the girl in the story. i could see myself being that girl in the story. i really like the way you wrote that. it has so much meaning.
