"A GIFT OF HAPPINESS"

By Franklin Campusano 

"Life is a gift that keeps on giving." 
~ Happy face killer ~

    "A Gift of happiness" Is a short fictional psychological novella about an incident that took place in the city of Buffalo, NY involving the subtle mass killings of a small homeless community in the streets of Emerson. 

    The main character, Zoe who narrates the story to her five friends and by extension us the reader worked at a pizzeria named Joe's pizza at the time of the "killings." She gets to know the killer and gets to interact with them on specific occasions shortly before the killer got caught. 

    Hope you enjoy my first full on Novella. And I hope that the climax of such leaves you wanting to see, but most importantly, read further stories from my penmanship. 

Best, Frank.

"A GIFT OF HAPPINESS"  CHAPTER 2: ABOUT THAT OTHER DAY By: Franklin Campusano  ___________________________________________________________________________________           On one particular occasion, Leslie and I where on our way to the pizzeria to work when we passed by what the locals used to call "Homeless Street." That place used to be a haven for the homeless people back in those days. That part of the street used to function as the business district of the area, but it's been long abandoned. The homeless use the abandoned buildings as a refuge. While Leslie and I were passing through the area, Leslie looks at me and said to me:  "With all honesty Zoe, I feel a little jealous of you, you know?"      Taken aback by what Leslie said to me, I asked her:  "What? Why? Why are you jealous of me?"      Leslie smiled and closed her eyes and looked down briefly:  "Because you are always complaining about...

Says Kate.       Lillith stands up and stretches her back by raising and spreading her arms, she then lets out a loud yawn, after letting out a deep sigh she then says:  "Tha...

"A GIFT OF HAPPINESS"  CHAPTER 6: HIS NAME IS FINN By Franklin Campusano ___________________________________________________________________________________     It was about a month after Luis was found dead and Joan had told me about her experience with him and the homeless men. I remember  that it was very rainy, homeless street looked very desolated.      Corpses of homeless people would pop up almost every morning, which lead to an intense police presence  in the area. These detectives would approach the locals and ask them questions. Despite this, no leads were  found at that point yet. The detectives and the locals were baffled, how can the homeless people be dying like this and so suddenly?      The homeless people started hiding in the abandoned buildings of the old business district to avoid contact with the police and would only come out at night. But the fear among them and the locals could also not be ignored. ...
