Chapter 2: It’s All An Act

I love the color red. I'd make the rainbow only red if I was god. And the sky too. It's such a beautiful and lively color. Imagine the sun shone red streaks, or all the trees grew red leaves. How amazing would that be. My name is Hikarashi, but that's a mouthful and the first part of it sounds dumb. So I go by Shi instead, but I prefer Anpu. Anpu means "god of death". Quite a befitting name for me. I have a twin brother who's completely full of himself. He's always got five chicks circling around him and he practically has our parents wrapped around his fingers. I'd like to wrap my fingers around his neck sometime, that'd be pretty fun. The kid literally thinks he's the shit. The only reason I'm nice to him is 'cuz that's what I'm supposed to do. You know, the whole "family before anything else" bullshit. Yeah, yeah; he's my brother so I'm supposed to love and cherish him or whatever. But one day I swear I just know he'll piss me off enough to kill him. Our parents too. Those ancient fossils are expired anyway, it's about time I dispose of them. I don't get why people always say "people come and go but family is forever" like... my family consist of people so the same thing applies Sherlock. They'll come and who even cares if they go. Why do people always grieve and act like the world is ending whenever somebody dies. It's not even that big of a deal, happens all the time. Happening right now too, as you read this. When you really think about it how bad is death anyway? The way I see it, it's more of putting somebody out of their misery. But anyways, back to people I wanna kill. Oh yeah, that Akira girl. I just want to know what the hell she's so damn happy about. Every time you look over at her she's got this big ass smile on her face like she just won the lottery. I'd love to cut her face into a frown so she can know what it's like to actually be sad for once. Her and Hikari were flirting all day today. Back and forth. I swear, I just know it, the next time I see her she'll annoy me enough and end up bleeding all over the place. At this point I don't even care who it is, I just want to cut somebody up and gobble down their flesh. I haven't had a hefty meal in so damn long.
