Fast Fiction Challenge 2010, Day 148: A Long Way Down

[budgie_uk]

Title: A Long Way Down
Word: exalted
Challenger: Wil Wheaton
Length: 200 words exactly I beat my first woman to death at twenty-three. She was forty-two, full of hate and prejudice, but that wasn't why I killed her.

My brother... now he thinks I kill for the money. That's a contemptible view: I worked hard to learn how to kill and I feel exalted

Wow!

This one is probably too true. But we haven't gone to that yet- it's injection of toxic chemicals. And it used to be sharp blades- guillotines, axes? And the gas for the "inconvenient" a mere 70 years ago...

Well, I thought that if electricity had run out, then all bets are off for anything even approaching humane...

Yep...
