The Slit-Mouthed Woman by Janae Snell (good books to read for adults .txt) 📖

in the rain to Yukie’s hair salon wondering of she can cut my hair for me so I can look good tomorrow morning. “Yukie!” I said from outside she looked worried “Mayumi! What happened?” she asked me “Can you cut my hair?” I asked her she looked like she didn’t want me at her work but at home. “Does it have to be today?” she asked me I nodded my head “It does” I told her she looked at a woman who was very pretty and she nodded at Yukie “But I’m all booked up” she said “Oh…that’s Ok, then” I said walking away from the shop and into the rain again heading another direction that’s a short cut to the house. I was about to turn a corner until Yukie came running outside “Wait!” she said

She started to talk to the woman that nodded to her; I was outside waiting for her seeing if I can have a haircut. They both looked at me and the woman nodded her head and Yukie smiled. Soon I was inside the hair salon getting a haircut from my sister. “Sorry to put you out like this” I said to her “Never mind, Are you going to see someone?” she asked me I could see her through the mirror smiling “The guy I told you about” I said to her and she raised her eyebrows “Your pen pal in Tokyo?” she said “He’s back in town now” I told her “Is everything all right?” she asked me “Like what?” I asked her. I think she knows what’s going on at school, and everywhere.

“Remember, we’re here for you,” she said smiling a little. I smiled underneath my mask “Thanks”

The Nice Walk With Captain…

 

“They don’t have any lead on that homicide, this can’t be happening not in a small town like this…how’s school?” he asked me looking at me in the eye “It’s Ok” I replied back to him

“Um…I was talking to everyone yesterday we…aren’t going out, are we?” he asked me and I looked at him mean a little and he looked like he was about to panic “There were rumors that we were seeing each other” he said quickly I felt unwanted around him “Does that bother you?” I asked him “No but I gave you my button because Junko asked me to…I always thought of you as a little sister” he said I guess which was suppose to cheer me up “I never thought of you as a brother” I said looking down at my feet bout to cry “Well…um” he said thinking of something to say “Is it because of my face?” I asked him “No! It’s not that…you’re pretty” he said quickly I felt as if he were lying. I slowly took off my mask “Even like this?” I let him look at my scar and his eyes widen “Am I…still pretty?” I asked him I could feel a lump in my throat he was starting to stutter “Um…I… I’m seeing someone,” he said and I just looked at him. Why…how could he do this to me after what I have been through I had enough of this.

We started to walk back home and I started to think about the time when I stopped walking left him walking by himself and he turned around letting me know that he wanted me by his side forever so I tried this once again. I stopped walking leaving him walking by himself but it took awhile for him to notice then I realized he didn’t want to be with me. I looked at the button he gave me as anger took over me. I felt strange like a whole different, everything went black. I opened my eyes and seen that I was holding scissors standing above Captain, he was dead covered in blood so was I even my mask was covered in blood. I washed the bloody scissors in the kitchen as little by little the memory came by on how I killed Captain.

 

I was running towards him wearing heels, which I don’t remember, and him turning around with a scared look taking over his face. I took the scissors with much force I stabbed him in the stomach repeatedly. Blood splashing all over my face, my mask, my dress and my face.

 

Even how Junko and Rienon died, I was the one who killed them. How can I not remember any of this? These memories were coming into my head little by little and why now? Why were they coming to me now? I don’t know why I killed Junko and Rienon maybe cause they ignored when I was getting bullied or when I needed them the most.

Captain, I killed him cause he was seeing someone while we were talking and seeing each other. He didn’t reply when I asked him if I was pretty with my new look.

 

Yukie was at work but I was watching the news and they reported Captain missing.

 

“A male college student was reported missing. The police have mobilized a search party in the area. Seiji Moriyama (18) of Teito University has been reported missing. He was last seen in Gifu attending a classmate’s funeral….”

I had enough so I turned off the TV and took a shower to get rest of the blood off of me. Captain’s missing went around school then they were starting to talk about him and me. This caused more rumors to go around; well at least he doesn’t have to deal with them anymore…

 

Missing flyers of him were handed out and people who cared for him went looking for him. Sachiko was at work doing her job as a cashier.

 

We ate dinner at home and everyone seemed to have a nice but me “They asked me to run the shop” Yukie said bragging, “Wow! That’s great” Sachiko said smiling at her “I can’t believe” she said I was eating my food being quiet most of the time. “Where is it?” Sachiko asked her “Near Unuma station” she said “That’s closer to home” Sachiko said with excitement in her voice. “Your dream is coming true” She said to Yukie “It’s going to be a lot of work, but I’ll be paid more” she said smiling “Wow” Sachiko said

The doorbell ranged and they stopped talking “Who is it!” Sachiko said then she got up “I wonder who it could be?” she said.

I watched her get leave the room, I knew who it was and they were going to be asking questions “Is Mayumi Sawada here?” I heard from the door.

“I have some questions regarding Mr.Moriyama,” the policeman said to me “I heard rumors that the two of you were dating” he said I just kept my eyes down the whole time then there was long silence “When did you last seen him?” he asked me “At Junko and Kaoru’s service” I told him “You haven’t seen him since?” he asked me writing some things on a yellow notepad “No, I haven’t” I said to him before he was about to turn around “And we weren’t dating. That was just a rumor,” I told him “I see…do you have any idea where he might be?” he asked me “I have no idea” I said.

I don’t even remember where I put his body. The man nodded “Moriyama was a senior on the track team right?” he asked me “Yes” I said, “Did you do things together? Go shopping maybe?” he said “We didn’t know each other that well,” I told the man “I see…” then they left.

 

I walked to my room and started to sew which I am an expert at it. While I was doing this Yukie came in and kneel down next to me “What is it?” I asked her not even making eye contact with her. “That guy, Moriyama…when you came to the shop, you said were going to see him,” she said “I didn’t…I didn’t go see him” I lied to her “We’re not going out” I told her “What do you mean?” she asked me “About what?” I asked her back.

“I think you know something” she said leaning forwards to me “I don’t know anything” I told her not looking up the whole time. “Really?” she asked me. I was getting annoyed by her “I told you, I don’t” I said making full eye contact that made her lean backwards. I looked at her for a long time then she got up and left my room. I could her footsteps run through the house then fade away.

Yukie**********

 

I ran into the living room to talk to Sachiko about my conversation to Mayumi.

“Sachiko!” I said as I sat down next to her “Isn’t Mayumi acting weird?” I asked Sachiko “Like she’s hiding something?”

She looed at me like I was talking nonsense “Like what?” she asked and turned back to the TV “When she came to the shop, she said she was going to see Moriyama” I told her. She scoffed and turned to me “But she didn’t, right?” she said and took a sip of her juice “But…what if she did?” I told her and she stopped drinking her juice and looked at me “What if she’s lying…?” I asked her

“Why would she lie?” she said with a little laugh in her voice as she said it. I looked at her for a long time.

 

Mayumi*****

I really think Yukie is onto me now…I might have to no! I am not going to murder my own sister it’s going to get too noticeable that people I know are dying. Their attentions are turning to me and I will be soon put in jail. I’ll have to wait…

 

I sat in science class reading along with the class but really I was thinking about everyone I lost and killed…this would soon be all over…

 

Yukie******

I came home early from work so that I can search through Mayumi’s room; see if I can anything she knows that involves the murders and incidents. I saw a doll of Moriyama sitting on her desk. I wonder of she really did like this guy. I started to walk around room some more; I came back to the doll and studied it I looked up and my attentions went to the drawers so I ran to her drawers and starting looking through her clothes but I didn’t find nothing then I stood up and turned to her closet. I started to looked through her closet and noticed one of her dresses are bloody… I have
