The killer sat in silence for a good hour. He figured he would get an early start this round, his kills needed to be perfect. They also needed to be strategic. He sat back staring at his computer screen. He went online to check around for some interesting murders when a little envelope popped up on the screen. He shrugged and decided to click it. The letter read:

“YOU’VE OPENED IT! NOW YOU MUST PASS IT! If you do not forward this email to your whole friends list in 10 minutes, at exactly midnight tonight a gruesome site will occur. A girl who was terribly mutilated and murdered will sneak out from your closet and cut your eyes out of your head and decapitate you! You have 10 minutes starting now!”

The killer laughed to himself. “These people are idio-,” he stopped mid sentence before a crazy idea entered his head. He checked the clock on his desktop. 11 pm. “And forward it, I shall.”

His mouth twisted into his dangerously wicked smile before his hand went to work again in his Death Note. He got up and looked out the window, looking for a specific house. As soon as he saw that the light was on, he ran back to his desk and put phase one into action. He clicked the “forward” button and typed in an email address. In the subject line he put “FWD: This is life or death.” He moved the mouse up to the send button and hovered there for a moment.

“Emailing. Communication of the future,” he chuckled to himself as he clicked send.

In a random apartment:

Ixica II sat down at her desk. She decided since she was unable to sleep, she would check her Gaia account. She pressed the power button for her laptop and waited for it to load up. As it was coming on, a small “ding” sound emitted from her speakers. She clicked the envelope at the bottom of her screen. There was no sender, which was very strange, and the subject said it was life or death, so she decided to open it.

“Oh good, junk mail,” she said in a tired voice, and directly threw it in the trash.

She spent a bit of time on Gaia, getting in her fix of the Death Note game in her favorite guild before she headed off to bed. She lay in bed, totally exhausted, but she couldn’t find sleep. It just wasn't coming to her. She looked at the clock on her bedside table. 11:59 pm. She rolled over and frowned. Then she heard it. A small scratching noise coming from under her bed. Her heartbeat raced as it started getting louder. It sounded as though it was getting closer to the side of the bed she wasn’t facing. Then it stopped, she reluctantly turned over to find a horrifying site standing over her just before she went blind. Her parents found her the next day in a grisly scene. Her head had been chopped off and her eyes gouged out with a note attached to one by dried up blood that read “People really should take these things more seriously.”
