It’s a lovely day for a stroll. The yellow thing’s come out to play again. Cloudless skies, lush green grass; it’s the sort of weather I’d die for. Take a stroll through town, just to see what’s there today. Not much different from last time; there’s more chewing gum on the floor. He bumped into me, said he was sorry, begged for mercy. Can’t blame him, but I didn’t believe it. He wasn’t sorry at all. Pull out a knife. Nice and shiny, for now. Everyone’s screaming, like I’m the idiot. He started it. Plunge it into his throat. Gut him. Go for the heart. Stab at his eyes a little. Doesn’t stand a chance. The juice gets on my clothes. I hate it when people bump into me.
