Poison Confessions

My father use to be a pastor, and then he killed someone.

He was always really violent when he got angry, and it was hard to control him after that. He wasn't entirely abusive, but when he was mad, boy, was he a monster.

It didn't come to me as a surprise when I came home one day from school and the house was surrounded with people and police.

Dad apparently killed someone who accused him of lying about something. I was only 8, so I never really understood what exactly happened, and I never tried to even as I grew up.

My mom acted like it never happened, maybe it was her way of protecting me and my little brother.

She remarried 3 years later, but I hated her new husband and his daughter like crazy. They just drove me insane. I was really jealous because they seemed like the perfect family, and truth be told, his daughter was a total bitch.

I just started googling what I could do to get rid of them. There was divorce, lie about him raping me, and murder. No way in hell was I going to jail, though.

Luckily for me, they both loved to eat apples.

Everyday I would dig the trash out for the cores they threw out and collected the seeds.

I'd mash them up and flavour the mix, then sprinkle it on whatever they had to eat for the day.

When my stepfather died, the autopsy said they died of intoxication via apple seeds.

Everyone assumed it was because they ate too much apples, little did they know..

I kind of regret it now, but I eventualy found out my stepdad was cheating on my mother and was a bit abusive to her emotionally.

I guess I did a good job.
