What a fool I was to think I could ever amount to something in my life. As I gazed upon the muzzle pointed to my head , I was scared , afraid yet sad. Sad that I would never be able to accomplish anything. To think all it took was a review to end my life.
Hi, My name is Jon Anders , a simple young man seeking love ;well not quite since I believe I deserve none. I am a critic , well I criticize everything , food, people, life ,anything. I first started criticizing as a hobby , I started by going to restaurants and posting on the internet about how terrible their food was or how bad the places looked.
Slowly I became famous, a single review reply from me could end a business or a tarnish a persons image. I was surprised and happy about how powerful I was on the internet , till I made a review on a certain restaurant. It was owned by a famous politician, Mr. James Borleg , a weird guy but a powerful one.
I made a statement about how his restaurant used a certain drug in their meals claiming it is nutritious and healthy. I backed up my claim by sneaking into their restaurant in the middle of the night , and taking photos of the drug they used. It was their secret ingredient for making their food so delicious, they said. Rather it was a drug that became popular on the dark web dure to enhancing certain flavours but the side effect was mind poisoning .Basically, continuous intake of the drug causes the brain to lose its functioning slowly killing people within a years time. A silent killer and very deadly since its hard to be traced and it looks and tastes just like salt. The only way to tell them apart was to pass ultra violent rays which make this drug turn yellow in an instant.
This drug is known as C17 , after my review was made people decided to make riots at the restaurant and people started targeting Mr. James and talk shows discussed whether my claim was true or not, the people demanded that the Food and Drugs Authority(FDA) should look into this claim. They did and the results said that C17 was indeed being used in the meals and Mr. James was arrested and trialed. He was imprisoned for 15 years . I wa shocked that my review was able to destroy a politician's life in one week.
Luckily i believed since people only knew me only on the internet and not in real life I would be okay. In a weeks time I received a call from an unknown number saying that my days are numbered and I shouldn't have involved myself into someone business. I grew worried and scared, I contacted the police and told them that I received a death threat and I may die. They told me not to worry and if the person calls again I should immediately call them after. For a second I felt safe when I heard a knock on my door. It was late in the night and who would be looking for me. I was an orphan and an introvert so i had basically no friends and family members whatsoever. Immediately asked who was it and there was no reply.
Due the threat I received, I was on gurad against anything happening.
I rushed to the kitchen,grabbed a knife and hid it behind my back, I then slowly opened the door expecting an armed intrudder or a hitman sent to kill me.
To my surprise, there was no one at the door, was my mind playing tricks on me? K paused and checked the porch and the back of the house to be certain, still armed with the kitchen knife of course.
When I realized I was probably just stressed out and over assuming things, I walked back inside. When to the kitchen placed the knife back, took some beer out the fridge and headed to the living room.
My laptop was in the couch as usual since here was where I normally wrote my reviews from. I opened it up and started checking the web for a new spot to try out, still keeping in my the death threat hanging over my head. I realized that I just received an email from a well established restaurant inviting me to a meal. I was overjoyed since this restaurant has been the talk of the city for months and to even get a seat could take you weeks on the wait list.
I quickly started planning for tomorrow's work and to raise my head up form the laptop to a muzzle being pointed at my head....
I was in shock since I heard no movements, I tried to stand only for the intrudder to struck my head. Fuck.. that hurt alot, clutching my bruised head. I looked up to the masked individual and pleaded for my life
He only stared at my face with such dim eyes.... Like a machine in a human body..
I didnt expect that a man who prided himself on his reviews could be so shallow
I was confused, what did he mean... Look I'll keep this simple "when the sun falls in the east and dies in the West, the moon rises above the North and proclaims his domain over the South"then you will understand you feeble existence.... Goodbye Mr. Anders...
I couldn't even flinch, the bullet passed through my head , the sensation impossible to describe.. My life flashing before my eyes... Where did it all go wrong...
