The Lost Thought

"Damn... Lost another one..." It was almost 8:00 p.m. when self-trained assassin, Peter, lost another victim that he was hunting for close to 2 hours. Peter wasn't any ordinary assassin, he couldn't help it! He had a disease in his brain that made him the murderer that he was.

When he was just 8 years old, he killed his parents. He was in a fight with his mom and Peter tackled her and stabbed her eye out with a knitting needle. That same night, he stole the emergency gun from the cabinet that his father hid just in case someone broke in and Peter blew his own fathers brains out. They were his very first assassination. His parents never knew about his disease. He has had it his whole life.

Now Peter was 17 and he has killed over 300 people, but he was so sneaky and cleaver that no one ever knew it was him! He acted too innocent, no one ever even suspected that it was even him!

He was the only one who knew he had the disease. He swore to him self that he would never tell anybody. Or else he'd have to kill them.

Peter was home schooled so obviously no one knew him from school. He was an only child. He blended in with crowds surprisingly well! Even as a kid, he had trouble making friends with kids in the neighborhood. He never met any of his other family members. His parents never really liked their siblings so they never introduced them.

In Peter's life, only 7 people, now 8, have escaped him. But none of them ever realized that it was him. He didn't need a reason to kill the people he did, he just murdered anybody he felt like or anybody that was blocking his path! The disease made it so that he just always felt the need to kill, like a smoking addiction. He has mastered the act of innocence over time.

He couldn't afford a home, so for shelter, he'd find a girl to date for a while, move in, and kill them in their sleep! These houses were never perminate. After a while, the bank would take away the house because nobody was paying the taxes. This process was done every few months or so.

He could never get a job because he moves around the U.S. too much so he never really got money. He needed to move out of each city and town pretty often so the police never suspected anything.

The disease has become so bad, he never once felt guilty of his actions, he's just used to it! The only time he regretted anything was when he killed his parents. Truth is, he never really wanted to be alive but he'd miss the sensation of murder too much.
