The Nightshades

You know, it’s kinda hard to enjoy your childhood when all you’ve been taught is how to kill.

Think I’m lying? Yeah, lots of people do. “You’re joking,” or, “They’d never teach a runt like you how to fight,” or, my favorite, “That’s a bunch of bull.” So on and so forth. I get it a lot. But I’m telling the truth. My siblings and I were trained, almost from birth, to be merciless, effective killers.

Still don’t believe me, eh? That’s fine. Go ahead then, turn the page. See for yourself. I’ll see you again at the end. Then you can judge, and we’ll see who’s telling the truth...

And the bloody fiction.
