Killing is Easy | |
| I’ve never killed anyone.
Not even back then. That was an accident and even then, they survived. I’ve been in a brawl or two, but never alone and never anything too serious. A bloodied lip, a black eye. Usually mine to be honest. I just.. destroyed something. Kill isn’t the right word, given the things were made of sand. But I used the power to tear them apart. I hadn’t even considered before that I could do such a thing, but in the moment instinct took over. Someone was in danger and so I used the wind to tear into the source of danger. It worked.. disturbingly well. And after there was only one thing I could think of. How easily it would work on a person. The idea of it makes me feel a bit ill. I’ve never thought of truly harming someone.Rending flesh, breaking bone, shedding blood. They feel like alien concepts. It’s not something you do in a civilized society. And yet, life is dangerous. More so since the truth came to me. Since the power woke in me and I left it all behind. There are things that, if all I have read is true, will not hesitate to kill. Could I hope to do the same thing? Even to something that isn’t human? Should I? I don’t know. There is no manual for this kind of thing. | |
