《Observing Death》Beauty
Advertisement
Order is what makes the world beautiful, when everything fits exactly where they are meant to be.
I nod to myself as I rearranged the last piece of book from the bookshelf, finishing the pattern of books forming a gradient. From a warm color to a cold one, the books were rearranged in such a fashion that it exudes grace and beauty. Another work masterfully done with careful planning such that the project achieves perfection.
Aiming my camera at the bookshelf, I took a picture, a new addition to my gallery.
I took my belongings and prepared to go back home, I enjoyed my time at the library. Books separated into sections, further divided by which author wrote them, I see a chaotic order. An organized mess of information that is just enough to scratch my itch of achieving equilibrium.
Walking through the sidewalk, I marveled at the trees equidistant to each other, prompting a smile to emerge on my face.
At my door, I lodged the key into the doorknob and turned it, opening the door and allowing me to go inside the house. Taking my shoes off, I placed them in a box cabinet specifically labelled outdoor shoes, neatly placed right next to a box with my indoor shoes inside.
I put on the indoor shoes and took off my coat, hanging it on a hook just above the boxes. I walked further inside the house and went inside my bedroom, I didn't get a two storey house as the stairs would ruin the symmetry.
Taking my clothes off, I folded them neatly and placed them inside the laundry basket. I placed my camera down at the center of the table and went to the closet to change my clothes.
As I opened the closet door, I was greeted with clothes already in pairs hanged from a clothes hanger, sequenced in such a way that it doesn't tick off my need for order. Grabbing one from the pile, I changed into them and placed the hanger inside a drawer right below the hanged clothes.

Grabbing my camera, I held it in hand as I went inside another room. I turned on the lights to my office where nothing but a table and a chair is present, empty so that nothing will distract me from my thoughts.
In the chair sat a woman, my wife, she was beautiful and every part of her adds to her beauty. I could only watch her from afar before, but now we finally got married.
I had a fight with her when I took her away and brought her into our home which caused one of her legs to bend at the wrong side when she squirmed and fell out of my hands. I held her legs on instinct as I tried to prevent her fall, that was when she broke her leg and lodged it off her kneecaps.
I couldn't bear to see her like that, so disgusting, her foot facing backwards. My goddess can't be in such an unsightly state, I had to do what any man would do. I carried her into my office and placed her on the table, she was crying all the while.
I watched as her eyes glistened with tears, she looked like a fairy and I hate that a part of her was not perfect. I continuously told her to not worry and that the pain will be gone soon. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a cleaver, I didn't want to hurt her so I made her sleep with a cloth covered in chloroform.
I used a new piece of handkerchief to not stain her beauty, I can't believe I have a wife now and she was perfect in everyway, well almost.
I watched her as she limply slept on the table, I spread her legs and used a ruler and marker to measure the perfect size. I wrapped a belt above the mark to prevent her from bleeding out, holding the knife in hand I started on one leg and began chopping.

I ultimately chose to cut an inch above the knee to get rid of the awkward twist in her legs. Her skin felt soft to the touch, I carefully wrapped her leg in gauze and administered first aid. I did the same to the other leg, now she looked perfect once again.
Carrying her to bed, I carefully set her down and covered her with a blanket.
I went back to the office and cleaned all the blood away, grabbing the severed legs and placing them inside a briefcase. I intend to work on them later, I'll try to restore their former looks and then preserve them.
I collected all her blood and placed them in a jar which I will put a label on afterwards. I cleaned the room, sprayed some air freshener and sat down on the chair.
I took out a photo from my pocket, inside it was my wife in all her glory I took off her clothes when I had to perform surgery and restore her beauty. I was dumbstruck by her beauty that I had to stop and take a picture.
I placed the photo inside a picture frame and hid it inside my closet.
Walking back into the bedroom, I stood beside my newly wedded wife and looked at her sleeping face. She looked pale, I mean she lost a lot of blood but she'll get better in time. I smiled with glee and kissed her forehead as I imagined our future together.

Kichiro's Rampage
Meet Kichiro, the son of a samurai. A social outcast, he leaves his home with nothing but a musket and a sword, determined to carve himself a niche in a chaotic world of dragons and leviathans. This fiction incorporates LitRPG elements, but it's not set in a VR. It's set in a fantastical world based loosely on East Asia in the 16th and 17th Century, when the Ming Dynasty was on its last legs, with the addition of magic and monsters. I totally stole the stat tables from Exterminatus, the author of Everybody Loves Large Chests, so let me credit him for that. I'm new to writing so please don't hesitate to criticise, and reviews would be greatly appreciated.
