The Death of Roy Hogan
To some people, Roy looked angry all the time. He had a long face and a crooked nose. Roy’s beady eyes, always half-closed, made him look distant and uncaring. His thinning stringy hair dangled just long enough to touch his narrow shoulders.

Maybe this was my fate from birth. I made a promise to myself to never bring a child into this fucked up world, especially if he or she would have a life anything like mine.

The Joining
Chapter Two Barely an hour after dealing with Jake, Samuel buzzed Carol, this time hopefully in response to her instructions to alert her to a particular wedding party’s arrival and not because of another naked emergency at the front desk. She strode out of her office, her eyes sweeping across the newly redecorated lobby in admiration. The Fairmont Victoria was definitely five-star, all the way from the deep green Berber carpet on its lobby floor up to the multi-tiered chandelier and its quarter of a million crystals in the middle of the grey, gold and marine blue ceiling. Amazing what sixty million bucks can do.

Moe! Part Two
Nothing could have gone more wrong in those last few moments inside the school hallway. I fired. There was blood. I fired again. Lots of blood. Screaming from every direction and chaos. Just complete and utter chaos. A chaos that was created by my hand. I looked down at the white paper suit that I had been forced to put on inside the hospital, where the police had taken my clothes, shoes, backpack, weaponry and ammunition as evidence. I had been taken to the hospital after the school resource officers were forced to deploy their tasers against me when I raised the rifle and attempted to fire at them inside the school. The rifle was empty. All of the ammunition had been fired in an attempt to take the lives or hurt as many of classmates as possible. I wanted them to shoot me. I fucked up and forgot my pistol in the closet that I waited in prior to me opening fire at Cole County High School.

Nowhere Worth Mentioning - Olive (Part 2)
I never wanted this. I. Never. Wanted. This. This street would probably scare anyone. It was dark. Forests stretched for miles on both sides, filled with who knows what. It was a new moon kind of night, so it’s fair to say that Olive was in complete darkness, but she could still see. That’s how her eyes worked. They could see anything, everywhere, no matter what. She wished it worked through walls, but there were other things she could do that made up for that. Things that she hasn’t needed to use for a very long time, but it looked like her “days without an incident” meter was about to reset.
