A Man Who Became a Monster

A suitcase was left on my porch that was full of body parts. When I learned whose body it was, it really broke my heart. I burst into tears when I learned that it was my son. I hunted the killer down and shot him with my gun. My son was in trouble with a bookie because he owed him a lot of cash. It took over two weeks to track him down and I killed that piece of trash. That bookie begged for his life as I pointed my pistol at his head. I pulled the trigger and it felt so damn good because he was dead. But I became a killer and I learned that I was just as bad as that bookie was. I learned that a man can become a monster because of the things he does. After I became a monster, you don't want to know how it made me feel. When I looked in the mirror, I saw the face of a man who decided to kill. I couldn't live with myself so I decided to call the police and turn myself in. I will spend the rest of my life in prison, I will never see the light of day again.
