Author’s Notes: I decided to try writing a vignette of a hundred words and I think I pulled it off quite well. I got this idea while listening to Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold. Yes, that song is about drugs, but I figured that V’s obsession with knives is sort of like a drug addiction. Concur? Well, you may not, but no matter :) Do give feedback. I love feedback :)

What triggered my mad affair with knives? It is very simply the delight I gained from the very first kill I made with them. It was simply splendid. The way the blood dripped was enticing. The wounds a knife cut deep were simply too inviting to me. One time was too much, it seems. It was enough to elicit the liking. A little more and it became an attraction, then an addiction. Like a drug, it pulls me in. In crude language, I get off on knives. I get off on blood. It clears my vision. I desire such lust.
