Lust

"You don't know how good this feels, do you?" asked Liaus on a tall podium. He had wires sticking out of his back and into a small mainframes all over the room. "The power, I feel so...powerful. I did all this! Little old Liaus did this!" he shouted gesturing to everything in the room. There were bodies of soldiers everywhere. There were also a brand new computers and technological devises that was too sophisticated for normal 'humans'. "I mean I can do anything I want to....anything at all. Anything...." he said turning to Caleb who was laying on the floor and couldn't move.

He had been shot in the back and the lower half of his body wasn't responding to anything his brain asked them to do. The turrets on the ceiling then turned to Caleb. "Go on, do it then!" Caleb shouted "Oh I will, but I havn't finished. I mean you tried to stop me. Five hundred men and women tried to stop me and they're all dead, all of them. Before I couldn't do a single damn thing before this came along!" he laughed gesturing to the wires in his back. "No man nor woman can ever defeat me" he said "And you...you helped me do this. You were the one who hocked me up to this thing because I was a 'good person' and had "no evil in him". But i'll tell you something Caleb, power changes everyone" "No, you changed because you wanted power. You're too full of lust!" replied Caleb "And you're too full of life" Liaus said. The turrets fired at Caleb. Now Liaus was alone, his search for power only brought him loneliness.

Gluttony

King Limroy was a nice man, until he discovered the joy of eating. Yes he had eaten before, but he loved it so much that he started eating just for fun. Soon they were out of food and King Limroy's servant told him the bad news. "What!?" the King shouted "We are all out of food sir, you ate it all" the servant said again "What about the cattle out back?" Limroy asked "You ate all those too sir" replied the servant "What about the crops on the eastern coast?" asked the King "All gone sir"replied the servant "The fruit trees in the royal gardens?" The King asked "Fresh out sir" the servant replied "We have nothing left sir, what are we to eat?" the servant asked "I don't believe that we've run out of food because of me. I think the peasants have crept in for a midnight snack every night. Order the guards to come in here at once!" the King commanded. The servant bowed and walked away. The guards came in all lined up and ready to go "Guards, we have been betrayed by our tax payers. They have stolen the royal food. I want you to capture all of them and bring them to me" the kind ordered. The guards bowed and ran off. "Servant!" the king shouted. "Yes my lord" "Inform the knights and soldiers to go out and capture all the civilians and bring them to me!" he ordered "Yes sire" the servant said bowing. Soon all the civilians were before him in his massive thrown room. "So you think you can pull a fast one on me? Give me the slip? Well I shall have non of this! Because you have eaten MY food, I shall eat you. Take them away and prepare them for my feast. That night, the King had a glorious feast of men, women, and children. He became so fat that he could barley stand and when he did it was only for a short amount of time.

The servant came in the next morning "Sir, we have no food again" he said peeking his head around the corner. "What! The servants must of gotten it" "But...um...sir, you ate all the food last night" the servant added "Don't you worry i'm not going to eat you, I know you're innocent, it's those other ones. Tell the guards to prepare the servants for my breakfast, lunch and dinner" he ordered "Yes sire" the servant said bowing out of the room. He ate all the servants, cooks, maids, footmen and butlers that day. The next day the servant came in again "Sir..." "All my foods gone again isn't it?' asked the King "Yes sire" replied the servant "Who could it be, it's not me, it's not you, it must the soldiers" said the King "Yes, the soldiers and the guards and the knights. They've had it out for me for a long time! Servant lead them into a trap. Then cook them a prepare them for my food" the King commanded "Yes sire" the servant said bowing and shaking out of the room. That day he had all the guards for breakfast, the soldiers for lunch and the knights for dinner" By this time he was so fat that he could not stand up. His fat was now practically his thrown and he was all out of food. So the next day the servant came in to tell the King the bad news "Um sir....the funniest thing happened again" the servant began to say "The foods gone, yes I know" "Good" 'Because you stole it for yourself! I am infuriated with the thought that you thought you could out wit me. Well no more!" the King shouted. He slowly stood himself up and slowly hobbled towards the servant. His mouth was open ready to swallow him hole when he fell flat on his face. He struggled to get up and he began to role around waving his limbs. "Servant, help me up" he ordered but there was no reply "Servant?" he asked looking around, but he was gone "Servant!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. Then his felt is heart beat faster and faster, so much that it hurt. It burned and he clutched his chest. His eyes rolled back he he became limp.
