Benjamin P. Dover
Benjamin Dover was an asshole. Not just “kind of an asshole,” and not someone who “could be an asshole.” He was a full-on, 24/7, 100% asshole. When he came out of the womb, he screamed and kicked, his constant needs never - ever - met quickly enough. A hateful personality already in existence, the nurses looked at each other, shaking their heads. “What a little asshole,” one tsk-tsk’d to the other. So….Ben Dover was an asshole: always had been, always would be. That is, until someone decided the world had tolerated ‘ole Ben long enough.

Crow's Cock
1872 A man was looking over the ledge. The canyon was vast, and the plan was set. All the sun was abroad, the desolate land. His site was placed in the distance. Footsteps were heard as the man reacted. His face was furious at the sight of the others. They both stared at each other as the tension grew. The first man started to grab his gun. He was one of the quickest in town, and hardly anyone could beat him. One of the others held theirs and was surprisingly the faster. The man fell back as his blood oozed out of his body. His limb body started to fade. The one told the other, "We need to move his body before it is discovered." They placed in the cave, then barred the door. They rode off in the desert as if nothing ever happened.

Love, Jealousy, and Money Kills
Who Killed Kareem and Passion? Big Henry took over his father’s oil company after he graduated from high school. He met Domonique in junior high school, and they have been together ever since. Big Henry was famous in school for sports; he played on the basketball team as the point guard, he took his team to the championship every year since junior high school, and he scored thirty-four points a game by himself. Big Henry was a chill man and very shy; he was not the player type and when he met Domonique, he fell instantly in love with her. She was short, light-skinned, with long, beautiful, silky hair, and her eyes were hazel in color. Every boy wanted Domonique, but she only had eyes for Big Henry because she knew he would make it big. One would say Domonique was a gold digger; she liked the finer things that life had to offer, and she did not mind making it known. When Big Henry first tries to talk to Domonique, she immediately tells him that she needs a man who can spoil her, and give her everything her heart desires, and Big Henry promises her he will do that for the rest of their lives.
