Why Me?

Chapter One: Evil?

"The world is a dangerous place..."

-Albert Einstein

*Gun Clicks*

"ON YOUR KNEES," Oliver yelled. Those are the last words a regular human being would want to hear, but imagine saying it to somebody. Imagine taking somebody's life, making them feel hopeless, in the only place they feel completely safe. Who would do such a terrible thing? I have a better question, who would MAKE somebody do something that cruel. This is the beginning of where we start to dig into the life of Oliver Moore.

"I said on your knees.", says Oliver for the second time in a sorrowful voice. "Mommy, Daddy! What's going on?" asks a frightened innocent ten-year-old as he's running downstairs to see three individuals dressed in black standing in front of his parents, holding silenced Beretta M9 pistols. "Is this your first time seeing a gun, kid?", Anita says with arrogance. Anita is another third of these individuals dressed in black. Anita, I like to say is the energetic and over the top one in this group. Anita grabs the kid by the wrist and holds him tightly as he tries to force himself out of her hands. "Cam you're SICK", says Oliver, with tears starting to roll down his face. "Look at the fear in their eyes, it's amazing" Cam reply's. "Hurry up and shoot them before they think they have a chance." "Cam please, these two parents will make 28, I don't wanna kill CAM, NOT AGAIN", Oliver cries. "I'm gonna ask you one last time", Cam reply's as he points his pistol to Oliver's forehead. I think we all know the role Cam plays in the group by now. But with pure regret, Oliver turned his gun back to the parents and takes a glimpse at the kid's face which is saturated with running tears. "I'm so sorry, and I know I'm the one with a gun in my hand but I'm truly truly sorry. I hate to break up a beautiful family like this, but I have too." Oliver said, being another person in the room with overwhelmed tears hitting the tile floor. "HA, this is gonna hurt," Anita exclaimed as she held back the son trying to reach for his mom's hand. "I love you Jacob, you're stronger than I ever will be", his mom cried. "I love you always son", said the dad. Oliver shot the mom and dad in the center of their foreheads, and Cam placed a bullet in both of their mouths as he said to a screaming Jacob, "Trust me, they deserved it." Anita finally let him go as he just sat there, on a bloody floor helplessly, as Cam, Anita, and Oliver left the room.

What is evil? What makes a person evil? Is it what they do, how they act? It is very hard for to pinpoint or create a definition of the word because it can mean so many things and there can be so many gray areas to it. Can a human be naturally evil? Is the evil human the one who's sinful? The one who's vicious? The one who's corrupt? Who or what is responsible for the evil in this world? Why did Cam force Oliver to kill those innocent parents? Why did Oliver listen to him?

"Oliver we went over this, I told you to shoot them in the gut. If you shoot them in the forehead they won't really feel themselves dying," declared Cam as they sat on a motel bed in the small-town Winslow, Arizona. "Cam YOU'RE the killer, NOT ME. I hate what you're doing, everything about it. When will you get tired of this?" Oliver shouted. "It was funn, you're such a crybaby Oliver" Anita replied. "As if they didn't deserve it," said Cam. The intensity in the room started to grow as Oliver was getting more upset. "Cam what is WRONG with you? Why the hell am I here?", Oliver interrupted angrily. "Wait who's the one who shot them both", Anita arrogantly responded. "Anita, Anita, do you not remember I'm the one who killed the last couple. Remember how we watched them drown in their own blood? THAT'S what I wanna see Oliver. What is the point of killing if we don't get to see the helplessness in them as they go from being a human being to just a body?", Cam questioned. "CAM??, CAMERON??, what is the point of killing in the first place? I can't do this anymore man, you're a living psychopath. What or who the hell are you mad at?? What is your big fucking problem with the world?? Why cant we just be normal people CAMERON? I don't wanna live as a menace to society. I wanna be a normal person, I wanna make friends, I wanna do normal shit like a normal person Cam. So please tell me how I can get there because this is not gonna work anymore. I don't wanna be one of your puppets Cam I just wanna be ME. LET ME FUCKING BE ME."
