[WP] People are forced into new relationships every 5 years (regardless of whether the previous one was good or bad).

This stupid government "system" is fucking crazy. My first girlfriend was at least bearable, but the one that came after her was out of her mind. She followed me to work and, assumed I didn't notice the same fucking car driving behind me every single day. It was one of those old, yellow cars that my grandma used to drive. She had some weird hobbies too. Sacrificing rats to prove her love to me was just another thing that totally creeped me out. I can't believe I ever agreed to move in with her, but then again she threathened to kill herself if I don't. Her insanity scared me, and sometimes, I wasn't entirely sure I'd wake up when I went to sleep lying next to her.

I still remember the last day of our relationship. In my head I was celebrating, but Evelynn wouldn't stop whispering to herself. She was crawled up in the corner, repeating "I'll find you". I checked her into a mental institute before I went to pick up my relationship papers. I was thinking about my time with my psycho ex-girlfriend while looking at the profile of the girl I was going to spend the next 5 years with.

Caitlyn was wonderful. I was blown away after a couple of dates. She could sing, dance, and cook. We'd spend nights just talking to each other, about our dreams, goals, memories. I fell in love. We knew 5 years was a short time, so we already got married and pregnant during the first year. We named the baby Alex. He was the best thing that ever happened to me. And I knew that by law, if I have a child with a partner, I'd get to see both of them at least once a week. My life had taken a turn for the better.

Alex must've only been 3 when it happened, about four years into my relationship with Caitlyn. I was driving home when I saw a yellow car parked in the driveway. Strange. As I was getting out of my car, I heard screams. Caitlyn's screams. "PLEASE DON'T". I rushed to the front door, it was already open. When I got to the living room, I was already too late. A blonde woman, dressed up in white was standing, her hair covering her face in the middle of a pool of blood. Alex and Caitlyn, both dead around her. As she walked up to me with a knife in her hand, I knew who it was. Evelynn. This woman, this she-devil, was in my life once again and, this time she had taken everything from me, not just my sanity. I froze. I was about to go crazy, I wanted to kill her, butcher her like she did to my family. And then suddenly, she whispered "I found you", raised her hand, and stabbed me.
