GREED

 

A fly buzzes annoyingly next to a sleeping mans ear.

The room around this certain gentlemen is inundated with beer cans and old pizza boxes.

A five dollar made in china alarm clock goes off with a loud beep which slowly gets louder.

 

Jack swats at the annoying fly once and squints his eyes open.

He gazes up at a poster of a beautiful naked woman at the foot of his bed.

“Howdy beautiful” he says to the dirty poster.

The 30 year old man feels a dull ache in his groin.

“sh*t I have to piss” As he slides out of bed and kicks beer cans and rubbish out of his way.

 

Jack walks into his bathroom and switches on the light.

Hundreds of cockroaches scatter as he positions himself in front of the john.

He doesn’t bother aiming and pisses all over the place, drowning a few roaches in the process. Jack draws in a deep raspy breath and brings up some stagnant saliva in his throat and spits in the sink. He walks out of the vile bathroom and walks to the small kitchen, crushing cans as he walks. He reaches to a cupboard above the sink and grabs a bottle of cheap vodka and pours a shot in a dirty glass. The liquid scorches his mouth as he swallows but it eliminates the severe case of morning breath.

 

He walks back to the room that can be described as a combination living/bedroom and sits at a old desk. He unlocks and opens the bottom drawer, more roaches scatter as he grabs a metal lock box. He fiddles with his keys and opens the grey metal box.

Inside is a snub-nosed 38 revolver and about twenty seven dollars.

 

“WHAT THE f*ck!!!! WHERE IS ALL MY MONEY!!!” Jack had completely forgotten about his trip to the Casino downtown, and also losing all his money at blackjack.

He grabs the silver revolver and cradles it in his hands, much like a child picks up a new toy. He gently wraps his hand around the gun and raises it to his mouth. One pull of the trigger and the only person who would know was his landlord when he tried to evict him again. He yanks the gun out of his mouth and screams “f*ck THE WORLD”!

 

He walks over to a pile of crusty smelly clothes and throws on a dark sweater and some grimy blue jeans. He leaves a trail thru the filth and heads for his front door. He secures his gun in his waist band as he walks out onto the sweltering street.

 

He glances down each way of the street, mostly all he can see is filthy little kids and hobos. He heads down the street and takes a left at the corner. He knocks over a buxom blonde as he walked and instantly apologized. “Oh terribly sorry ma’am didn’t see you there” As he reaches down to help her up. As he reaches for her hand he gently touches her breast, he hoped she would assume it was by accident. This sends a chill down the woman’s back as she is helped to her feet. “Ma’am would you mind accompanying me to the local tap?” The very thought makes the bile flow from her stomach and into her mouth. She stops herself from throwing up and says “No thank you, I am fine” She settles on her feet and begins walking away. This infuriates the man, he rushes towards her and yanks her down a small alley and around a corner. “You should have accepted my offer bitch, Now your getting it the not so nice way”. She screams for help until he produces the shiny metal gun. “Shut up bitch, or I will kill you where you stand”. The woman realizes that she is going to get raped. He brutally yanks her top off, revealing her white as snow breasts. He then pushes her down and reaches up her skirt, He pulls her panties down and throws them over the wayside.

 

A muffled shot is heard. The man walks out of the alley and continues the journey he began 5 minutes ago. He walks into a small shop for cashing checks, Jack walks up to the counter. “Can I help you?” says the 55 year old guy behind the bars. Jack produces the small menacing weapon and points it at the old clerk. “Give me the f*cking money, all of it!” The old clerk begins handing over the money. Unbeknownst to Jack a undercover police cars rolls to a stop in front of the small business. The cop gets out and walks towards the shop, “Just going to cash my check and be on my way” The cop says to himself as he walks inside. Jack is to busy to notice the officer walk into the shop. The cop pulls his weapon and screams “POLICE, HANDS IN THE AIR!” Jack spins around and takes aim. The cop doesn’t waste anytime and unloads his clip into the gun wielding robber. Jack slowly falls to the floor and rolls onto his back, His last breaths escaping his chapped lips. His vision begins to fade as he looks over at the cop. “Sorry”.

 

The End.
