This absurd little story is the brainchild of reading the ONC prompts for the first time at 1 am in a half-zombielike state.
It is probably the most literal interpretation possible for Prompt #4:
You're a weapon, and weapons don't weep.
WARNINGS: Violence, gore, dark humor, murder, captivity, and maybe a few other things later on.
I have no idea how this is going to turn out, and I have no idea if I'm going to stick with this one.
Still, if you have the stomach for this type of story, I invite you to turn off your brain and move on to the next page.
