Jessie sat, wondering at the mess he got hijmself into. he couldnt believe Amy was had died, and it was all his fault. Jessie bent doen and sat bakc up again, holding the picture that had fallen off the table 20 seconds ago. He stared intently, eyes Watering. "Amy," he uttered, voice cracking. A single tear fell onto the face of the woman in the photograph. 

A great wind burst the window open. He was sure he had heard it whisper "Yes?"

He shot up, eyes wide. "Hello?"

"Hello." The voice was more a voice and less a whisper now. He took his hands in his hands and shook. He was sure he was going crazy. 

"Amy? Is that you?"

"Yes." He heard the smile in her voice. It only made him feel more guilt.

"I'm so sorry..." He sobbed gently, falling to his knees.

"Join me."

"What?" Jessie looked to the sky and wiped tears from his eyes.

"Join me." The voice said again. This time it took on a more sinister tone, and became distorted from the voice he had longed to hear.

"What do you mean? Join you in what?" Jessie felt fear.

"IN DEATH."

As soon as the words were spoken, Jessie's head began to swell.

"What...Whats happening!?" Panic took over as he clutched his head. 

"You must pay for your sins." The voice no longer sounded like Amy.

Jessie choked out a response. "I-I didn't mean for this to happen! I loved her! She was my world!" His head continued to swell. It was now twice its original size.

"I don't care."

Jessie's head burst. Blood splattered everywhere. The picture that was clutched in his hands fell to the ground, blood now covering the two faces in the image.

16 hours later the lock on the door turned. A woman stepped into the house, hands full of groceries.

"Honey! I'm hom - Holy Fuck! It fucking stinks in here! What is that?"

She walked into the kitchen and gave a short gasp. The groceries fell to the floor, the gallon of milk bursting from the impact.

Amy then became angry. "Goddamit Tobias! I was really starting to like that one!"

She heard a distant laughter grow increasingly closer. A man appeared before her, dressed in a black suit. Amy stared pointedly as he continued to laugh, waiting for an answer. 

"What?" he finally said, "You can just make a new one. Man that new Burst Mod is incredible! You should have seen the look on his face! Look I'll show you the vid I took."

Amy rolled her eyes in slight annoyance, "Ugh. Fine. But you know that was bullshit. He was a nice guy!"

"And? Just make him nicer the next time you make him." Tobias lifed his hand. A small holographic screen phased into existance.

"It's not as easy as it looks, you know. They come out a bit different each time. I've gotta train him to be that nice. This was the best one so far!"

Tobias rolled his eyes, "Whatever. Just check this out."
