You Came Here to Kill Me

You came here to kill me. But look around, does this look like evil to you?

The hero enters the villain’s throne room in chains. “You came here to kill me because that’s what your father and grandfather taught you was your destiny. They told you I stand for everything you are against.” They walk to a window. “Look. Everyone here is fed. Everyone is cared for. I have no quarrel with you, except the one in your head.” The villain nods to the guard. The hero is unshackled. Weapon returned. “You are free to go. You are free to strike me down. My guards won’t stop you either way. But either way, you leave here with your eyes wide open forevermore.” The villain continues to watch his people go about their daily business.

Inspired by a narrative prompt seen on TikTok.

The people who feed you can't afford to feed themselves. This isn’t irony. It’s design.

R.I.P.

It wasn’t a promise. It was a brief pause between extraction models. They called it progress. Turns out it was a marketing campaign.

Boiling Quietly

I swallowed fire until my lungs learned to smolder. No one saw the smoke. They only blamed the ash.
