Show Yourself
Showstopper - Part Three
For the record, there's going to be five or six parts (still deciding if I want the last two scenes combined or separate).
(tw: implied character death, stalking, trespassing, yandere, serial killer)

The letter didn’t have a return address. Didn’t have postage. Didn’t have much bulk to it at all.
Confused, Darian slid it from his mailbox, peeking inside to ensure he didn’t miss another bool - or heaven forbid another fucking round of advertisers - before stopping to flip the envelope over.
It was blank.
Tied up in rusty red string.
No….is that…was that..fabric? Strips of fabr-
His hands, body, and mind locked in place all at once.
Linen.
Linen - he was right - it was linen. The blood-soaked linen from Showoff’s videos-
Fuck.
Darian took a desperate glance up the street, then jogged to the end of his sidewalk, head tossing back and forth. He frantically searching the road and memorizing the cars. Looking for anyone suspicious. Anyone with a hood up or…or who didn’t seem to belong there.
Nothing.
Fucking nothing - how long had this been there??
FUCK.
His breath and hands were both moving again now - both shaky as he turned the envelope over in his hand.
He ran back inside, slamming the door behind him. The letter slid onto the table as his hands quickly found gloves and shimmies them on with frantically flexing fingers as he reapproached, butter knife expertly sliding under the paper to pry away the glue with as little damage as possible.
Should he be bringing this into the office? Yes. Could it be stuffed with anthrax or who fucking knows what? Also yes.
But. Darian could just tell them he didn’t realize the letter was from Show until it was opened - that he didn’t recognize the fabric when it was cut so thin.
He could do that.
That was reasonable - people who didn’t spend allnighters staring at the videos woudln’t have noticed.
He…
..he spent all night watching the video.
He spent all night watching the fucking video and this was right fuckin there in the morning.
Show had been there. Show had been there while HE was there. While he was there watching the fucking video- Fuck-
..he would need to triple check the blackoutability of the basement curtains after this.
He’s so fucking screwed if Show saw him-
ANYWAY-
Shaking fingers pulled out the small paper, turning it over.
Aaaaand this dude (gn) was a classic.
Cutout letters from magazines. Nice touch.
Darian’s eyes skimmed the single sentence.
Darian..
…froze.
Staring.
Breath locked up and frozen in his lungs.
..whatever he expected, that wasn’t it.
Fuck.

When I was reading part 4 of showstopper before I got to the end I was like "yeah if you're silly enough to drink something from a known serial killer you kind of deserve to be in that chair" and part 5 was honestly so satisfying, loving it so much im lowkey obsessed and keep rereading
I'm so glad you like it 😭😭😭
I'm loving writing these bitches
