My name is Seth Thompson, I'm a introvert

and I don't particularly like people. We are

warring creatures by nature, we kill, steal

and conquer for shits and giggles. The

strong and smart thrive at the top of the

pecking order while the weak willed and

the unfortunate get taken advantage of, the

whole world is diseased and rotten to it's

very core, as a kid I always dreamed of

being a hero but reality is harsh and once

the dreamer wakes, the dream vanishes

and all that's left is a memory. Every last

dream without a exception, the only way

your disposal, only then do dreams come

true and those who say otherwise are fools

that are blinded by their own opinions. I

person in history is held as a hero in

someway, only the victorious write history,

what one person may deem evil another

may see them as a hero. Two sides of the

same coin, rambling aside I live with my

over religious grandmother, I stay with her

Monday through Thursday and spend

Friday and Saturday with my aunt and

uncle, also it just so happens to be Friday. I

get out of bed and open my eyes, my

grandmother and grandfather built this

house a long time ago, on the outside it was

it looked just like any modern house but on

the inside it looks old and classic with brick

walls, rock walls. I get my daily cereal for

breakfast and brew some coffee, it was

January 5th 2016, GED hasn't started up yet

so I figured I'd see my aunt and uncle

before classes start up again. After

breakfast I change out of my pajamas into a

black long sleeve shirt, black jacket, black

belt to go with my blue jeans then spike my
