Chapter OneA Chapter by Steven CashChapter OneYou shift nervously in the chair, feeling the policeman’s eyes bore through you. Can you sit still? Likely not. His questions make you nervous, don’t they? The officer keeps asking that same question too. What weapon did you use? After all, he says, you couldn’t have killed a man that bad with your bare hands. No man can be brutalized that bad by someone’s hands alone. His skull completely cracked apart. Jaw ripped from the head. Spine broken in three different places. It’s impossible to do all that with your bare hands. Or is it? It happened, didn’t it. You didn’t use a weapon. Maybe in your rage, a lamp or something. But a lamp couldn’t do such damage. The officer keeps questioning you. Constantly. Over and over. You scream at him that you don’t know anymore, wishing he would just leave you alone. But he won’t. Oh, it’s just begun. You have cracked. He will pounce on that, as expected. But your parents should be there soon. And that Uncle Stu of yours. He’s a lawyer. He should get you out of this mess. And then it hits you. Something from an old TV show. You shouldn’t talk unless your lawyer is there. So you tell the officer you plead the fifth. He steps back, and asks his question again. But you are tight lipped this time. He tries again, this time mere inches away from your face. It annoys you doesn’t it? And there it is again. That feeling. In your hands. The hands that spring up from your sides and punch the officer in the face. Now he is stumbling backwards. Nobody can hear him scream, because he can’t scream. His jaw is broken. You can’t believe you did it, but you did. He reaches for his stun gun and fires. You are thankful his handgun isn’t in its holster. You feel the prongs hit your chest. You stop, but only momentarily. Is that how a tazer feels? Because you feel nothing. It only energizes you. You rip them from your shirt, and toss the, aside. Before you know it you are doing it again. What you did to the robber. This time it’s to an officer. And your minds screams at you, telling you to stop. But what good is it to stop if he is dead? And he is dead. Quite dead. And so are the others. The others that tried to restrain you as you fled the police station. Now you are running, feeling the sidewalk under your feet. Oh, you monster. © 2012 Steven CashAuthor's Note
