The tragic case of Roy Silk

Robert Harris had worked for his boss, Roy Silk, for years down at Allied Carpets. On the Wirral. One day Robert started hearing these voices in his head, urging him, quite matter-of-factly, to kill his boss. He'd just have the telly or the radio on, and all of a sudden he'd hear the words: "Robert - Kill Roy Silk". He tried to ignore it at first; for a while he thought the voice had gone away. But every now and then it would come back - sometimes a man's voice, sometimes a woman's. He thought he might be going mad. But looking at it, he decided Roy was a cunt, after all, so he might as well. And so one night he stabbed him in the guts. "What did you do that for?" Roy asked, with his dying breath. "It was the voices," explained Robert. "They told me to kill you." If only he'd been called Roy Killrobert-Harris, thought Roy. As he died.
