1 A Killer Personality

The City of Tren was bustling with people. In this city, there were flourishing businesses and people had good livelihoods here.

However, lurking within the confines of the city weren't so happy-go-lucky.

Karma, after a long day at school, was walking home. As he passed a building, he heard laughter and painful cries coming from the alleyway. Karma carefully walked toward the source of the sound and peeked around the corner. A bunch of gang members was beating the crap out of someone.

*Better not get involved* Karma thought.

As he started to walk past them, one gang member spotted him.

"Hey! Get over here!" the gang member said.

Karma slowly walked towards them. The person that was getting beat up had his face beaten into the shape of a red mushroom.

"This fucker over here pissed us off. We still have some pent-up anger, so we're gonna take it on you. Consider yourself unlucky." said one of the members, who seemed to be the leader of the group.

The gang members punched Karma and he fell forward. Pain rushed from his abdomen to every corner of his body. He screamed in pain.

"Yes. Keep on screaming." said the leader, as he kicked Karma in the stomach.

Karma spat out blood and his vision was fading bit by bit. Then, Karma felt a sudden rush of bloodlust coming from inside him. Karma got up; his eyes bloodshot.

"Huh, what's with that look?" said the leader. "You wanna die?"

"Hehe," an ominous voice echoed from within Karma.

"What's so funny, you little bitch?" said the leader and threw a punch. Karma, in a single move, caught the fist.

"The ones who are gonna die are you people," said Karma.

In a quick instant, Karma punched the leader in the face, sending him back. The leader screamed in pain. Karma laughed at the scream as he felt joy from the leader's suffering. The underlings charged at Karma, attempting to bring him down. Karma dodged their attack and beat them down one by one.

"What's the matter, huh?!" laughed Karma. "I thought you were tough guys? What happened to all that talk before, huh?"

Karma continued to beat the members senseless. The leader, who regained consciousness, pulled out a knife and charged at Karma.

"Die, you piece of shit!" said the leader, charging at Karma.

He attempted to stab Karma, but Karma was too quick and dodged the knife. Karma then kicked the knife out of the leader's hands and punched the leader in the gut.

"Ack!" screamed the leader, in pain.

Karma then grabbed him by the collar, with an evil grin on his face. He charged forward and continued beating the utter shit out of the leader.

"P-Please don't h-hurt me!" the gang leader said, face full of terror.

Karma looked at his prey, bloodied from up to down.

"You act tough when you got numbers." smirked Karma." When your pals are all out and you got your asses whooped, you start pleading. Haha haha! How pathetic!"

Karma punched the gang leader in the face, harder than before. The gang member blacked out. His face warped into an unidentifiable shape.

"Aha..hahaha!" Karma laughed devilishly.

He felt joy go through his whole body. The bloodlust lessened as he laughed until finally, he returned to his other-self. Karma looked around in horror at what he has done.

"What have I done..." said Karma." Damn it... I couldn't control it again."

Karma walked out of the alleyway and towards Guch Street. His rundown house was just around the corner. Pieces of the house laid on the ground.

Karma took out his keys and opened his door. The house reeked of dirty laundry and dishes. Karma closed the door and walked upstairs to his bedroom.

*I'll clean tomorrow.*

With that thought, he fell asleep.

The night was silent once again.
