A Unique New Friend

Mary was at the mall, looking at some kitchen utensils. She decided that she already had enough and turned to leave the store.

Upon leaving the store, she accidentally bumped into another woman holding a silver kitchen knife.

"Oh! I'm so sorry," apologized Mary. The woman smiled.

"That's okay. I wasn't looking where I was going either," the woman forgave.

"My name is Elma," she greeted.

Mary was a little confused to how fast she had made a friend, but she just shrugged it off and introduced herself.

"I'm Mary," she said.

"Well Mary. I see you've caught a glimpse of my new knife," she said.

"I have. It's really nice, I guess," Mary said.

"It was custom made just for me. Take it everywhere I go," she said.

"Umm...okay," said Mary. This was really strange.

Elma followed Mary around the mall for the rest of the day. She wouldn't stop talking about her knife. Finally, she said the words,

"Could cut things up into perfectly sized pieces small enough to give some to the cats, so they won't take up to much space in the ol' basement."

Mary was confused.

"What do you mean by that?" she asked. Elma was licking her knife, leaving Mary disturbed.

"Well...I really gotta go now," said Mary, before rushing towards the elevator. She made it inside, and the doors closed before Elma could arrive.

She felt the elevator going up and up farther away from Elma. She breathed a sigh of relief. Elma was gone.

Just then, the elevator had stopped moving.

"Shit!" shouted Mary. The elevator had gotten stuck. She heard a noise coming from behind.

She slowly turned around to see Elma, who had cut off the control panel. She was holding her knife up high.

"Are you leaving Mary? That's a shame. I was really enjoying our little chat," she said.
