Tom broke into the house smashing the door. "Andy! come out! your fate has arrived." shouted Tom. Andy emerged before Tom and looking into his eyes said, "It wasn't me, it was Captain Freak who killed everyone," said Andy, "Shut up! don't begin your nonsense, what's the difference?" shouted Tom. "Captain is my savior, he is my hero all this while I was losing everything, and me Andy was someone who always wanted to be your friend, but did Boris tell you that?" said Andy. "What?" asked Tom, "That how I killed your sister," said Andy with a smirk. And Tom shot a bullet at him with a groan. "I will kill you motherfucker!" but the bullet missed him when Andy jumped and pulled his gun pointed at Tom. "Here's a secret, my sister was not mentally stable. She was never accepted by society. You killed yourself years ago!" said Tom and his words fell on Andy as a bolt. Captain Freak who was watching all this also got a chill. Andy got no reason to shoot another bullet at Tom, which Tom used and shot a bullet on Andy's shoulder. "For my Dad!" said Tom. "Your dad betrayed me on my job. He framed me, and I lost my job for that," Tom shot another bullet on Andy's arm, "For my mother," said Tom, "Your mother teamed up with a fake lover. And I loved that girl more than myself, your mother did wrong joining her," Tom shot another bullet on Andy's legs, "For my Sister," said Tom, "I too lost a brother when I was thirteen. It was painful. I always tried to fit in society, your sister's life had been tragic if she were alive. I gave her a gift." Tom shot another bullet on Andy's other leg, "For Mr. Boris" said Tom, "You killed Jeremy," Andy smiled after saying this. Captain Freak faded away in the air as if he was guilty.
"You know kid, you look sad, let me tell you a joke, here it goes- There was a man who knocked at a person's door, and when the person opened the door he called himself Freak. The man who came shot him for this." saying this nearly dead Andy laughed. "But now I have learned my lessons. You are a great teacher." Andy took his gun and pointed it to himself near his head. Tom was looking helplessly at the living tragedy, which was about to end. With a smile on his face and tears in his eyes, Andy spoke his last words, "I love myself" and shot himself. Captain Freak and Andy ended, forever. Tom burst out in tears but couldn't understand for whom was he crying, for his loved ones who once existed or his enemy. The Sun dived.
The elections got over and the Green party won. Tom was the new mayor of the city as expected by Mr. Boris. And on the day he won, Tom decided to give a public speech.
"What are we? What do we call ourselves? Society. We are murderers. We are supposed to carry mankind but we kill it every single day. There was this man living in our city all alone, all by himself. Lost his family when he was a kid, lost his job, lost his love, got betrayed, got angry, tried to fit himself all the time, a hero, a villain, he was confused, got humiliated, and was laughed at. We called him Freak. While it was our duty to raise him, but we punched him in his face. We all are geniuses, we are civil people, we need a mayor. What if, he was given what he wanted? what if we had been a bit kind to him, what if he was loved by us? what if he was accepted? what if we had not punched him and instead given him a hug? but we didn't, because we are a society and he was a loner. He shot himself and his last words were 'I love myself' which means he wasn't loving himself his entire life, and we were responsible for that." Tom paused for a while after dripping his emotions. The public's head was looking at the ground, people were ashamed. "We should stop creating demons for ourselves. Thank you." Tom Finished.
Hero and Villain are two sides of a coin. It's our choice to choose one. But the best part, you can love yourself even in the worse situations.
