Today I looked
at the Looking Glass. It was a very reflective experience. Anyway
onto the flash fiction!
The
Pirate-Ninja-Vampire-Cyborg-Dragon-Clone Society
The
Pirate-Ninja-Vampire-Cyborg-Dragon-Clone Society met once every
month. The members felt a strong bond as they were one of the
smallest minorities in the country. The
Pirate-Ninja-Vampire-Cyborg-Dragon-Clone Society members came from
similar backgrounds with the same stories of discrimination and
bullying. With no one to fit in with the
pirate-ninja-vampire-cyborg-dragon-clones could only turn to each
other and had to travel great distances just to get to their
meetings.
Not much was
accomplished during their meetings. The
Pirate-Ninja-Vampire-Cyborg-Dragon-Clone Society had a mission
statement to advance their presence and visibility in the world. But
mostly they just spent time together and enjoyed the company of the
others. Except for one of the
pirate-ninja-vampire-cyborg-dragon-clone. Aaron felt the most bitter
about those who harassed him through his life. But he also thoughts
of greed and deception flowed through his mind. His heart grew dark
and the way he viewed the world as one to con came from his
upbringing.
Slowly he
started putting ideas into the heads of the members of The
Pirate-Ninja-Vampire-Cyborg-Dragon-Clone Society. Depressing thoughts
in some. Hateful thoughts in others. Happy where he needed them.
Thoughts that he needed for his grand scheme. Depressing enough
thoughts in one that it led to an attempted suicide that Aaron
purposely planned to be stopped by the police. He worked for months
to make sure the member tried to do himself in the exact way that
Aaron could stop it and call the police.
The attempted
suicide attracted attention in the way Aaron planned. The
Pirate-Ninja-Vampire-Cyborg-Dragon-Clone Society became front page
news quickly. Their plight now for all to see as the depressed member
who almost committed suicide told his story. Aaron worked himself up
as leader with the thoughts he planted in the members earlier to
secure himself that position. And all the members acted in the way he
wanted. Perfect for sob stories and personality types of all kinds.
Aaron used his
life as a pirate-ninja-vampire-cyborg-dragon-clone to gain a fortune.
One day he smiled happily in his fancy office and glanced out the
window to see a sunset. A relaxed breath was his last as an
anti-pirate-ninja-vampire-cyborg-dragon-clone extremist shot him in
the back of the head. Aaron became a martyr for the cause he created.
