Beware Of Assassins
Some people are willing to do anything for money. From prostitution to drug smuggling, there is no bounds to which some will go to. I personally despise con-artists, like how AI generated bullshit has flooded the internet (something I refuse to use by the way) with fake art, books and even music. Some even have the audacity to charge others for this soulless nonsense, it is despicable. Yet there are those who are far more degenerate than that, there are some whose will to make money, means to kill! That's right, out of all the crimes in the world like theft, arson and kidnapping, committing murder is by far the worst, even more despicable than torture. To take anyone else's's life for any price (not matter how high that number may be) is the vile and disgusting thing any human can do. If you're not a complete psychopath, killing someone will haunt your guilty conscience for the rest of your pathetic life. It wouldn't matter if you were an overnight millionaire, seeing the lights die out in your target's eyes would be the most traumatising sight ever. That's why some assassin's prefer to kill their targets from a great distance, using a sniper rifle from a high vantage point, typically a tall building. It's less personal that way, like completing an objective in a video game. It's still sick. Something nobody should ever do, only in extreme emergency situations like presenting a mass shooting or gang war between two armed rivals. Yet despite all this, some still kill solely for money and that alone is why humanity itself is truly doomed.

The Manson Family Murders 😢
In the summer of 1969, the United States was shaken by a series of brutal and senseless murders that would leave a permanent scar on the nation’s psyche. These crimes, later known as The Manson Family Murders, were not only horrific in nature but also symbolized the end of the peace-and-love era of the 1960s. At the heart of this nightmare was Charles Manson, a manipulative cult leader who commanded a group of devoted followers into committing some of the most notorious crimes in American history.

Jack the Ripper Murders (UK)
In the fog-drenched alleys of Victorian London, during the autumn of 1888, a shadowy figure stalked the streets of Whitechapel. Known only by a sinister pseudonym—Jack the Ripper—this unidentified killer committed a series of brutal murders that shocked the British public, horrified the world, and sparked a manhunt that endures even today. Over a century later, the Jack the Ripper murders remain one of the most infamous unsolved cases in criminal history.

As I said
“There’s a buzz tonight. It doesn’t matter, nor do I care,” said the man as he lit a cigarette. As he smoked, he looked away—out the window of his office—toward the night sky and the city in the distance, where a public celebration was taking place in the central park. The room was dark, and the glow from his cigarette was the only light. His reflection could be seen by the man he was speaking to, who stood at a distance, but he gave it no more importance than what he was observing.

The Stranger on the Train: What I Didn’t See Coming. AI-Generated.
I always thought the late-night train was peaceful. Something about the quiet hum of the wheels, the rhythmic sway of the carriage, and the scattered silhouettes of other tired souls made me feel strangely safe. Invisible, almost. Like nothing could touch me in that bubble between stops and streetlights.

Shattered Reflection
The mirror arrived in a wooden crate with no sender listed. Anna Morales didn't remember ordering it. But the antique glass had an allure—tall, ornate, wrapped in ivy-like carvings and tinged with an almost silver-blue sheen.
