Kill. It's no big deal.

Until you do it.

You'll be pounded by the guilt. It’s some sort of karma, quite a cycle. Thankfully, after a number of weeks, months or years - it's only a passing memory. It becomes nothing serious, nothing you'll regret of doing. It’s just another ordinary moment of your life. That's how I feel.

To tell you the truth, I wasn’t a hoodlum, and I definitely wasn’t an occasional delinquent.  I was just a quiet, meek person living under the roof of a vicious aunt. Living a dangerous life wasn’t very likely.

   My aunt made my life a living hell. Although I never complained, she always found a way to ruin me. Sometimes, I wonder if we're even related.

   By next week, I would be sitting my ass down in juvie. How harsh could it be? Staying there could even be nicer than the piss hole I lived in with my aunt. What are the odds?  

Maybe - just maybe, I could start living my life like a normal person – well, as normal as it can get.
