Recommended: Chicago serial killers

It was two in the morning on October 13th as Shane walked down the dirty, dark, and deleterious, streets of Chicago, Illinois, with his sister, Julie, following his every step in her bold, brown boots. His short, floppy, brown hair glistened in the moonlight. His dark brown eyes were full of revenge.
It was the usual night for him. Trying to figure out who killed his parents, Eric and Jade. They died exactly a year ago and Shane never forgot the day he found them lying on the cold, dark cement in the alley nearby.
Though they did not exactly know every detail about their parents and where they came from, they were part of the family and were a blessing in disguise. All they knew was they were in debt.
“We should go home now…” Julie whispered, walking quickly after Shane but hoping not to attract attention.
“Fine,” Shane replied reluctantly listening to Julie through his wide ears.
Since their parents’ death, he was disconsolate. Each night around eleven in the night he would visit the spot his parents were killed and let out all the tears that had bottled up inside him. He could still smell their blood as if they were just killed. After an hour of that Julie would come after him and bring him home.
The door creaked as Julie opened it and slipped inside quietly, as if she were a cat. Shane dragged himself inside and towards his old, wrecked bed and recalled all his clues but nothing yet.
They lived in a small, shabby house that sat less than a kilometre away from the local cemetery that is almost filled with dead bodies.
After a few hours of sleep, Shane woke up to the alarming sound of his phone which noted he had to go to his school. If you did not know. Shane wasn’t one of those people who were fond of school. Believing t...

...t in front of the body he was about to kill.
“I can’t do this. I know I’ll regret this but what am I supposed to do? Kill myself?” He whispered holding the gun to his friend.
Mark changed the direction of the gun from facing Shane to facing his head. BOOM! That was the last sound Mark heard. Shane suddenly woke up facing the horror of his friend lying on the cold dark ground.
Shane didn’t know what had happened or what to do. He checked the pockets of Mark to find any useful information. Stored in the pocket of his coat was another note.
“Sorry” was all it had read.
Shane shed tears of sadness and knelt in front of the dead corpse.
Shane then awoke from his three year coma. “Who was Mark?” he wondered. When he came back to his senses, Shane was face to face with the gun that his “best friend”, created by his nightmare, held.
BOOM!

  • Tom Brennan Quotes

    966 Words  | 2 Pages

    After the traumatic event, the Brennans are continuously mistreated, causing them to feel they are “no longer wanted” (Burke, pg 1). After feeling ostracised by the township, the alienated Brennan family are driven to leave the town of Mumbilli at 4:30am. With hardly any peer support, Tom begins to lose his sense of security, resulting in his transformation into an unconfident teen who is afraid of public opinion. It is no wonder that Tom is unable to move on in his new town as he is being held back in fear of revealing his past. Burke tactfully illustrates Tom’s emotional kaleidoscope through phrases such as “I felt the knot snap” and “my guts landing at my feet” (Burke, pg 172) when reflecting on the accident. On the contrary, with encouragement from family members, Tom begins to step out of his comfort zone and face the future that is to

  • Analysis Of Dave Cullen's Columbine

    717 Words  | 2 Pages

    Juxtaposing Dylan’s and Eric’s personality traits defies the readers’ expectations. Cullen first uses opposing language to focus on the boys’ conflicting views on the attack. Dylan, Cullen argues, visualized the attack as an escape from reality: he didn’t plan to follow through with it, simply fantasizing about a single attack. Eric, however, truly wanted to destroy everyone. Later, this contrast becomes more prevalent when Cullen remarks, “Eric launched a new charm offensive… he worked his ass off to excel. Dylan didn’t even try to impress Andrea” (258-259). The decision to place the sentences consecutively helps the readers gain insight into the killers’ minds before the attack. By starkly contrasting the murderers’ thoughts, it corrects the misconception that they targeted specific groups of people because they were bullied outcasts. Instead, the readers realize, Eric was quite charming. There was no specific “hit list”, as the media hypothesized, rather the killers planned to murder
