Luke Bavarious sat weeping in his rust colored apartment. The kind
|
||
|
|
of apartment that wept pain and vomited sorrow from every bowed
|
||
|
|
ceiling tile to every dinged and dingy wall. It had been three
|
||
|
|
weeks since that fatal night and he just couldn't get it out
|
||
|
|
of his head. His once normal life was twisted into a tormented and
|
||
|
|
nightmareish existence. As he sat cleaning his Beretta, the very
|
||
|
|
Beretta he was issued from the precinct, he remembered that fateful
|
||
|
|
evening. Rain was vomiting from the sky and it sounded as if a
|
||
|
|
thousand wounds were spilling mucus and pus from their pierced
|
||
|
|
membranes. Luke walked down the street when suddenly he saw a
|
||
|
|
sobbing mess of a man. Homeless scum he thought. This man was
|
||
|
|
wearing a disheveled burlap sack with tears that looked like the
|
||
|
|
ripped flesh of a person who was left for dead long ago. Luke
|
||
|
|
grimaced at the homeless man, thinking to himself ``I'll
|
||
|
|
bet this is the guy the chief told me about, I won't have any
|
||
|
|
noise complaints on my watch!'' Suddenly he exploded into
|
||
|
|
action drawing his Beretta he steadied it at the homeless man who
|
||
|
|
whimpered at first, but gradually started to let loose a blood
|
||
|
|
curdling scream that smelled of death and reeked of vengeance.
|
||
|
|
``YOU LET ME BECOME THIS MESS OF A HUMAN!'' the homeless
|
||
|
|
man shouted. He leaped at Luke arms flailing wildly and razor sharp
|
||
|
|
fingernails digging into Luke's arm and revealing the rust
|
||
|
|
colored life force within him. Luke's Beretta skittered
|
||
|
|
across the alley just out of reach. ``Without my Beretta I
|
||
|
|
will have to handle this mad man using my bare hands'' Luke
|
||
|
|
thought to himself. As he exploded forward lungs heaving and arms
|
||
|
|
outstretched he made contact with the man. Wrapping his arms around
|
||
|
|
the homeless man's neck he wrenched and wrenched until the
|
||
|
|
neck split like a ripened banana, spilling a vibrant rouge all over
|
||
|
|
the asphalt. The gore was thick, and layered in between
|
||
|
|
Luke's fists which made it harder to grip his now reclaimed
|
||
|
|
Beretta. As he steadied his shot, he kept feeling a nagging
|
||
|
|
suspicion in the back of his Anger filled mind. He knew this man
|
||
|
|
once, but he could not place it. ``No matter.'' Luke
|
||
|
|
thought, This man is a burden on society and must be dealt with.
|
||
|
|
Luke cocked the hammer of his Beretta and as the hammer of justice
|
||
|
|
falls on those who do wrong, so did the hammer of the Beretta fall
|
||
|
|
on the firing pin launching round after round into what Luke
|
||
|
|
considered human garbage. The man's skull exploded and his
|
||
|
|
chest lit up with the continuous barrage of hot lead pouring from
|
||
|
|
the only real friend Luke had, his Beretta. The homeless man winced
|
||
|
|
one last time as snot and spit and vomit erupted from his mouth,
|
||
|
|
eyes, and nose like a morbid fountain. As he rolled over to die,
|
||
|
|
Luke saw something in his hand. Luke crouched down to gaze upon the
|
||
|
|
item, and noticed it was a picture, a picture of a familiar person.
|
||
|
|
LUKE BAVARIOUS, but who was the man in that picture? Luke stared at
|
||
|
|
the man, and then the photograph, the pieces finally coming
|
||
|
|
together. ``Father'' he thought, as he clutched the
|
||
|
|
picture in his hands like a hawk clutches a dying mouse. If I would
|
||
|
|
have known you'd end up like this I would have dropped out of
|
||
|
|
the academy, but I made my choice, and you made yours.
|
||
|
|
``Nobody makes noise on Luke Bavarious' watch!''
|
||
|
|
Luke said as he chambered one last round, and placed it right
|
||
|
|
between his rotting father's eyes.
