His notation was simple. John M, followed by two small x's.
"Outcome: done."
Tap, tap, tap. "Share."
Moments later, a response.
"Yes, I would love to meet you. Anywhere you like and I'll bring the beer!".
Tap, tap, tap. "Share.".
"Done. See you there!"
Cracking his girlfriends password was also too easy. She used the same one for most everything.
Six hours later and he was at it again. The morning would bring a snow storm and horrific media attention to his heinous and seemingly random kills.
It would not take them too long to make the Facebook connection, but, when they did, he would be three states away, spending her cash.
She would be with him too, just in case he needed a hostage; gone now but back in the morning with her stuff and her money- unless ...
Naaahhh!! She would never think him clever enough to get past her internet security.
"Bing!" New notification. Doug Saunders? Wants to be friends?
"Sure, Doug-ee, we'll be GREAT friends. I'll line you up right next to John Morgan. I've got just enough room in the trunk for you, Mister man!"
Bing!
Bing!
Bing!
He was beginning to feel overwhelmed. It was not easy to admit, but, she was much more popular than he had feared.
He wanted to be the only man in her life by the time the two of them struck out in the morning. However, his grand plan was hatched when he thought there was three others, at most.
Bing!
Bing!
Bing!
When would it end?
Bing!
Bing!
Bing!
He could take no more. As the bings kept coming, he turned off the computer, grabbed his pistol and went through the kitchen door to the garage, took his place next to John Morgan, then joined him in eternity.
The pizza guy just kept ringing the door bell.
Bing!
Bing!
Bing!

You're still fighting mental health! These are the writings of a man a week away from a rifle and a rooftop! Electric insights into madness:Thanks!:Paul Schroeder
I really like this, I enjoy this sort of assumption based story, it is good that people are keeping it alive. Well done. Get a website though, because if you love writing it would be great for people to be able to read it. Try http://www.devhub.com for really easy website building. (That isnt an affiliate link btw, it is just a good idea)
Excellent! While reading I was wondering if you were taking your vitamins or eating right, then I realized your brain somehow functions in a separate dimension. This is very short and subtle and at the same time intense (if that makes sense). Well done.
Tell me,Ken,that you're NOT a week away from a rooftop and a rifle with this chilling story!It was a well written peek into a mind of madness;is there more to this story? Cant't wait to read it!Paul Schroeder
The ending was a bit unexpected (that is why this is good, element of surprise). Is he really dead? if he is, there is no sequel. Thanks for sharing Ken. It was a great read, concise but it had all the elements of a good thriller.
