(this story mentions supposed suicide and murder)

December 30, 2013

Gosh, this better be recording. I did it. Wait, I didn’t do it, (sigh) it was my idea. Ugh, that doesn’t work either. Uhm…I guess you could say I thought of it, I didn’t mean to show it to them. They just saw it. (sigh) In my defense, I didn’t expect anyone to even think of doing it. I was writing a stupid story and I guess the wrong person saw it, I didn’t do it.

I thought of it, sure, but I didn’t physically do anything wrong. So, why am I confessing? (silence) I-i don’t know…I feel partly guilty, only because I know who did it. I don’t understand why they did it, or how they did it, but I know who did it.

Im not gonna go to the cops without any other info, I don’t even know where they went. They called me at, I don’t know like midnight the night it happened and started going on and on about how they had messed up. (sigh) I know withholding evidence is a crime, but I don’t want to say anything until I’ve come up with my confession…well confessions. Jeez, I am not good at this. (thud) Crap! Ugh! Now my screen is broken.

January 3, 2014

Okay, here we go again. I did some research and I found out I would only go to jail for at least three years for withholding evidence…so, no big deal…(sigh) Who am I kidding, I’ve never even been to detention and now I’m talking about going to jail?! Im worried, like really freaking worried.

(silence) I didn’t even want her to see it let alone do it. I know I should probably explain what the story is about but I’d rather not. I don’t know who is gonna hear this if anyone ever does, but Im innocent.

I have an interrogation in a few hours and I’m gonna lie, just so I can confess without everyone thinking I did it.

(silence) I don’t even know what to say anymore, I’m getting freaked out and everyone having read my story isn’t helping, I wasn’t there when it happened, I wasn’t aware it was happening and I wasn’t the person who thought of doing it. (sigh)Im so confused as to where she could have gone, we’re only sophomores so she doesn’t have a car and her parents are so strict if they even thought she did this they would have turned her in themselves. (silence)

January 7, 2014

(sigh)I can’t believe I’m still doing this, my interrogation went okay yesterday, they believed everything I said. So I have a few more days before they catch on.

(silence)…Im worried…I don’t think I’ve ever been more worried in my life. (sigh) I don’t know what to say other than I didn’t do this. I’ve started getting threats at school from the victim’s friends, I’m honestly worried I’m going to get beat up by a bunch of girls because they think I “killed their friends”…But I’d rather get beat up than go to jail because everyone thinks I killed them.

Im the star football player, everyone loved me and the person who did this ruined my reputation, I’m only a sophomore but I already had a few college scholarships lined up.

They all left once they read the story I had submitted and they read about the case. (sigh)She kept blackmailing me, she left one of my shoes at the crime scene, and she left my jacket hanging on a tree. (silence) I didn’t do this, I can’t stress that enough, sure, I’ll go to jail for withholding evidence but only once I know where they went, once I know where they are I can tell the police and clear my name.

She’s never been good under pressure so I know they’ll be able to get her to confess.

January 17, 2014

I found her…but…(sigh) She was dead, she killed herself the day after it happened, I called the cops and they found a note in her pocket, “to the person reading this, I did it, the case everyone is talking about is haunting me and I’m not willing to go to jail. so thank you for finding this after I’ve left. may god be with you.”,

may god be with you?! Now she’s acting like she was a saint, she did this on purpose. (sigh)She hated all the people she killed. (silence) She killed so many innocent people,14 innocent girls and she took the easy way out.

(silence)For a while after I found out I thought maybe I should just admit to it so the victim’s parents could get closure and hate someone, but I can’t, I won’t, I won’t go to jail for something I didn’t even do.

(silence) My story was about a boy, he had gone crazy and started killing anyone who looked at him, it was for a class, we were talking about mental disorders and so I went with a story I had read about a psych ward patient and I wrote my story along the lines of that.

I feel terrible for the families that lost someone, and I will confess to knowing who did it but only when I know how to explain that I only know who did it not how, when, or why.

February 3, 2014

(silence) I did it. I did it, I didn’t write a story until after I had done it. I framed my friend and I even went as far as to me it seemed like she killed herself, the note was in her handwriting but only because I forced her to write it.

(silence)I emailed the police department, which I didn’t know you could do, and I confessed. (sigh) I didn’t get an email back rather they called my parents, I haven’t been able to leave my room all day because the cops are finding the best way to arrest me without the press showing up, the case had been closed, and I opened it again.

(silence)I don’t regret anything I did, I protected myself. I hated the girls I killed, and they hated me. They bullied me every day and I finally had enough. Their bodies were scattered in the woods, most of them had broken legs and arms, and a few were untouched, except for how I killed them.

Most of the girls were strangled and bound, others were stabbed, and one, just one, I let go… Well if you consider locking her in my room is “letting her go”, I wasn’t going to kill her, but once she started playing with my feelings I had enough, she tried to manipulate me into letting her go, so I killed her after I made her write a confession.

(silence)Again, I don’t regret what I did, they all deserved it, they hurt me…so I hurt them.
