[WP]You are a single father of six, your wife was brutally murdered. You steal and sell whatever you can to feed your children. You are Swiper the fox and Dora is after you.

"Apples! God damn they're hard to find these days"

It was high noon and overcast. Looking at the apples swiper thought about his way of life and what would have happened if he had chosen a more 'honest' living. He shook it off, it wasn't he who chose this life. It was Dora.

As stealthily as possible he made his way towards the apples and tried his best to avoid being seen. His ears twitched, instinctively he looked up and surveyed the area for danger. None. He opened his rucksack and stuffed the apples as fast and yet... as quietly as possible.

"Swiper no swiping!" A voice boomed from the skies, filling the air with its essence.

"What the--"

"Swiper!" An immature voice shrieked

Swiper slowly looked up,

"Swiper no swiping!" It boomed again

He saw her.

"Swiper no swiping!" and againge

His eyes met with hers, her doll-like emotionless eyes and empty smile.

"DORA YOU SON-OF-A-BITCH" Swiper exclaimed in a fit of blind rage.

He dug into his pockets and pulled out his knife. It had to end, the circle of hate must end. It started with is wife dying in the hands of Dora and had to end with Dora.

"Swiper no swiping!" The skies shook

He trembled and shook and realized; all his life had come to this one point. He had to do it, there was no other way.

Closing his eyes he focused all his strength onto the knife and stopped trembling. He looked at Dora, still adorning that damned empty smile and still repeating those same words that she had been repeating as long as he had remembered, "Swiper no swiping!"

He ran, and ran, and eventually the tip of his knife met Dora.

Slowly piercing Dora and staining her orange shirt crimson, the knife eventually came out her back. The cold bright steel dripping crimson. Swiper, breathing heavily-- he looked up and saw those doll-like emotionless eyes--and the same empty smile--uttering those same words-- again--and again--and again.

"Swiper no swiping"

"Die bitch"
