Fratricide


The first image was of a young boy with a bat. Cute.

The second, blurry, showed the boy walking, dragging his bat with.

The third negative showed the boy with his (presumed) little brother.

The fourth: a picture of the boys laughing together.

The fifth image shows a shaky view of the older kid pushing the other.

The smaller child is crying on the ground in the sixth picture.

The seventh image: the older boy stands, smiling, over his brother.

The eighth: the older boy is seem raising the bat behind him.

Ninth: out of focus, the child swings at the little boy.

Tenth: a bloody snapshot of the bat's impact.

Eleventh: the swinging child's face up close.

The last picture, the twelfth,

showed a smiling young boy next to a beaten pulp.

I used to have an account under the name "The Frozen Arsonist" when I was a teenager and just wanted to start over, but you can check that out if you want to see earlier content
