About this submission

In this dark comedy, Arthur’s goal is to become “the greatest serial killer in the world,” with Ruby Quickson as his first victim. His obsession is so consuming that he spends more time fantasizing about killing Ruby than engaging with reality. One day after class, Ruby invites Arthur to a party. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity, he accepts.

At the party, Arthur repeatedly attempts to kill Ruby but is prevented by his weakness. In the end, Ruby reveals a dead body she’s been hiding in her garage, one she killed herself. Instead of going through with his plan, Arthur kisses Ruby.
