I don't really know who the narrator is. Agent Smith from the Matrix, perhaps, or one of Pratchett's Auditors of Reality. Rated R for description of violence, a cool one hundred words in all.



WOULD YOU?
by Beth


Would you kill, if you could?
If there was a gun in your hand, and a defenseless victim in front of you. If you knew without a doubt there would be no punishment, ever. If you were well and truly angry.
Would you pull that trigger? Would you watch blood and spinal fluid splash on the ground? Would you watch, through narrowed eyes, the thrashing limbs commanded by a dead brain? Would you listen as the last breath rattled in punctured lungs?
Of course you would. That is what humans do, after all. And you are human.
Or are you?
