HEART'S WAR

HECTOR APOLLO ARAGON

It's funny how when things are getting better — you wanted to be alive and live a peaceful life — that's when it is taken away from you.

I close my eyes firmly and opened them again. There I heard the footsteps of dry leaves. Fine

My loaded assault rifle is aimed as I stood up and as soon as my eyes saw the men I was sure were members of the Black Guerilla, I shot them fatally. The three fell so I immediately hid in the big tree that was there. I could not speak for a while because I could not believe what I had done. I just killed three people. I never thought I would be able to use a gun like this even though what Ares taught me before was very small compared to it.

Fuck! I just killed three people!
