The Mind of an Assassin
a character study inspired by the Broadway musical Assassins *NOT an endorsement of violence!*
They say nice guys finish last. They’re right. I tried being nice. I tried following the rules, and look what it got me! No money, no job, just burns and scars from years working in a factory that fired me.
The symbol of injustice looms, blissfully unaware. Soon he will know the pain of the working class. Soon they all will know my pain!
Patriotic music blares as the line inches along. Ten people ahead of me… then five, three, one. One man, one moment, one shot. My hand trembles, gripping the concealed revolver. BANG!

>That was a bad idea. I thought you knew… >Oh, the pathos! I don’t really know you as well as I should. In fact, I may not know the real you at all. That essential, sparkling you that you only reveal to a select few. Had I been paying more attention to the stories you are so fond of telling, in which you are invariably author, narrator and protagonist, I would not have been so foolish as to set you up on a blind date. After all, no friend has ever done anything of the kind for another. That’s preposterous. What is a friend, really?
