"I should've never went up to that attic." Jake kept saying to himself.

After the horrifying massacre that Jake had witnessed, he never went back to his same old self ever again. Instead, he went around town trying to test his theory.

He started wondering if all the incidents started because of the camera. And so far, his theory is correct.

"I've always thought of you as nothing but a waste of space," Jake's mother said to Jake. "You think you're so special, but you're not. You're just a disappointment. Now leave my house and never come back."

Jake pointed the camera at his mother and got a reaction that he never expected. He felt a sharp pain tear through his chest.

He was heartbroken.

When he pointed the camera away from her, she snapped back and quickly realized what she'd said.

"No...Jake...I...I"

She couldn't say anything. Nothing could ever overrule the pure truth.

"I'll help you take out the trash," Jake said. "This'll be my last time ever helping you though."

"I'm in love with you Jake," Lisa said. "I've been in love with you for the longest time, but...I'm worthless. Nobody cares about me. You probably don't even see me as a friend either. I just wanted to tell you how I felt."

Lisa Meyer, Jake's crush since middle school, confessed her love for Jake. However, she gave up on hoping that Jake would reciprocate her feelings.

The beautiful sunset was shining a bright and beautiful orange glow right at Jake. He stood there at the edge of the cliff, a lifeless statue devoid of and motivation. The warm breeze had a salty smell as the ocean wave kept crashing down below.

The perfect weather for a confession.

"So this is why she wanted to meet up with me on the cliff side." Jake said as he looked down at Lisa's dead body eighty feet below.

"I think this camera brings out a person's true intentions," Jake said with the camera facing him. "I tried to destroy it, but it wouldn't break."

...

"If anyone finds this camera and you happen to watch this video, then throw this camera as far away from humanity as you possibly can."

Jake felt something warm slide down from his throat to his chest. He touched his neck and felt an open slit in his throat...with blood pouring out.

Jake also noticed a knife in his right hand as it kept pulling the knife to his neck and slicing it open even more. Tears fell down from Jake's eyes, mixing with the horrifying color of red.

And, with one last swipe to the neck, Jake fell out of the camera's view.

...

I'm a little upset that Jake fell out of view. I really wanted to see his face as he died...

Oh well. Might as well get my camera back. I'd be a waste if it were to get destroyed.
