The True Motivation

He stalks the prey— picks the perfect time to eliminate efficiently. The silver metallic barrel leads to the mechanism, controlled by the black, gloved finger of a sniper. Lurking in the shadows he waits …patiently to destroy the innocent. Bullets beat the brain like the fists of an angry husband. Crimson tears spread down cheeks of beings. Anger turns into fiery hatred. Black and blue marking the once pale faces and bodies. Out in public not caring of witnesses. Humanity’s violent demise.
