Man of today

A Story by Alya Usman
"

More like a runt, so please read it as an abstract!

"

His eyes like liquid Helium, darted onto HIS enemy.

The knife was lifted up…

By him.

His expression darkened. A more sinister look obscured his pallid face.

He was a perfect specimen of evil. He was what people referred to as a ‘murderer’.

The word ‘murderer’ derived from him.

Countless murders, he  had done. Countless lives he took away.

His expression tightened. A threatening look draped his monochrome face.

He smiled with wide-open eyes. He was what people called a ‘psycho’.

The word ‘psycho’ derived from him.

Innumerable murders, he had done. Innumerable lives he took away.

His expression loosened. He held up the knife in his hand.

He did not hesitate. He was what people called ‘merciless'.

The word ‘merciless’ derived from him.

Limitless murders, he had done. Limitless lives he took away.

He dug the knife into his enemy’s body…

The enemy was murdered. His life taken away…

By him.

And, thus, he was what people called ‘human’

I didn't quite expect the ending to be that way. I was expecting a different adjective but as it is, well, I was surprised. Nice read.For a story I think it's short but you've made the point there and that's what matters. I like the way you developed the story from start to end and the repetition of phrases with slight changes. Good Job.

Keep Writing. ^___^
