Ever met one of those people who it doesn't matter where they go or who they're with they are just plain jerks? For some odd reason i made this short story about one of these particular people and i felt like sharing it.
A skewed logic
“Everyone’s logic is flawed. If I was to stand up now and shoot every person on this train I would be considered a bad person. Why? Because I hurt people? Because I kill them? Or because we were all taught that you shouldn’t do these things. Good and bad don’t mean squat when you consider the truth of reality. We live by how other humans dictate we should live our lives. Yet nature made us all capable of doing as we please. Nature doesn’t prevent us from doing such things. Am I getting through to you here?”
The small infant returned my gaze with tears welling in each eye.
“Hmph, cry baby”, I muttered under my breath. Sitting back I took a quick glance out the window. The world was a haze of green and blue as the express train passed through the open country. It would be hours before the train hit Town Central.
Sighing, my gaze shifted back to the inside of my current world. A world made up of four steel walls, two rows of seats and six random people. I’ll call them f**, f** with cigarette, hotties D and F and teenage slut plus 1. The plus 1 of the lot was still crying over its reality check while the teenage mother tried to calm it down by shouting at it and waving her mobile phone around.
“You know, if you hate it so much why not just chuck it off the train? You’d be doing all of us a favor.” It sounded reasonable enough to me.
The girl stopped screaming for a moment and shot me an icy glare.
“Listen creep, if you say one more word about my child I swear I’ll beat the living crap out of you! Ok? Now go piss off somewhere.” And with that she returned to trying to talk on her mobile over the din of her baby.
Now that I think about it, she’s pretty hot. The school uniform seemed a little faded but was tight in just the right places. Her smooth brown hair cascaded gently over her left shoulder and rested gently on what appeared to be two small boulders trying to bust out of her shirt. I didn’t get a good glance at her face when she was sputtering something at me as it was difficult to see over her cleavage, “They could gag a hippo for gods sake”.
“Excuse me?”
Don’t ya just hate it when you think something out loud? Heh but at least she wasn’t ignoring me. “I was just saying your boobs are huge, that’s all.”
At that moment I felt every eye in the compartment turn on me as the girls mouth almost dropped further then her phone which clattered onto the floor before snapping shut.
“Did I say something wrong? I thought it was a comp-“, my sentence was cut short as her fist attempted to part my nose from my face.
“Damn girl!”, I shouted at her, clutching my face at the blinding pain, “what ever happened to the slap across the face huh? All I got was your fat fist!”
Picking up her kid and stylishly chucking her hair over her shoulder she turned and walked towards the next carriage doors, “Welcome to the 21st century arsehole”. -------------------------------

Bravo Rune, Bravo. Here's what I've got to say: - The main character is ambiguous sort of (lol, irony). Not in the way he is portrayed, but how somebody could act like that. The believability of him is I don't know...but then, I could be accused of the same crime. The only reason I say this is because its such a short story. Were it more fleshed out, it could definitely be a winner. Quote: Sighing I returned to face the inside of my current world made up of four steel walls and 6 random people. - A good sentence poorly executed I think. Rule of thumb: If a sentence doesn't sound right when you read it back, re-write it: Quote: Sighing, my gaze shifted back to the inside of my current world. A world made up of four steel walls, two rows of seats and six random people. Only a slight change, but its easier to read. Quote: Am I getting through to you here?” The small infant returned my gaze with tears welling in each eye. - Best line ever

Demons Azure Dante “Or because we were all taught that you shouldn’t do these things. Good and bad don’t mean squat when you consider the truth of reality. We live by how other humans dictate we should live our lives. Yet nature made us all capable of doing as we please. Nature doesn’t prevent us from doing such things. Am I getting through to you here?” I really don't like it when people say stuff like this. Sure it's interesting to think about for a short while. I know it's just a story, but i feel i have to step in here and say that anyone who really seriously thinks like that, i would probably knock out. When the first men on earth killed others they felt guilt, i don't care what you say. They weren't taught by anyone. It's nature. Without this naturally built into our brains as a means of preserving our species, the human population would definitely be smaller today. Without a sense of good and bad and without ethics, man doesn't stand a chance at all.

Thanx for responding to something even iu considered a weird piece.
@Arc: The main character in this story was something of an experiment. All i attempted to do with him was create a train of logic and make a man out of it. That was one result, likely unbelievable but not necessarily impossible. And thanx for the sentence rewording, i needed something to fit in there but i couldn't think how to write it..
@Holocaust: I understand what you are saying and agree to a point. The fact is we would like to believe that from the very beginning man had conscience and could clearly seperate right from wrong. But not everyone would agree. Some would say man only co existed with each other cause they needed each other to survive. Killing one another was bad for everyone so eventually they would have felt regret, then guilt. As we evolved these feeling became natural and are what keeps our society going today. But that is only one possibility. It depends greatly on what you believe and what you know.
@Nightjar: The jokes have spread, i hear people speak them quite openly now. What has the world come to..
