Nobody Loves Tragedy But It Happens! How Can People Be So Evil?

Chapter 1 Tragedy?

Jefferson Elementary School

9:15 AM

October 29th, 2022

At 9:15 AM, a man by the name of Gary Nelson arrived at Jefferson Elementary School. Nelson, a neighborhood watch leader, and veteran entered the school and went into the front office. “Can I help you?”, administrative clerk Lydia James asked the dark figure. She could tell something was off by the catatonic look on his face. Mr. Nelson opened his jacket and revealed a 9MM firearm. “Bang!” Mr. Nelson quickly opened fire on the clerk, leaving no time for Lydia to scream or run, hitting her on the left shoulder. Nelson then aimed at the other office clerks, shooting them in the head. At 9:18 AM, Mr. Nelson entered a secondary office where he fired upon the Principal and Vice Principal with single shots, killing them instantly. After reloading, Nelson holstered his pistol, removed the P90 strapped to his back, and left the main office. Mr. Nelson arrived at the library at 9:22 AM. The library had 2 classrooms in it at the time.? Nelson indiscriminately opened fire in the library. The deafening sound of cold-blooded screaming and crying filled the air. While teachers tried to flip desks and chairs to protect students, the slightest movements warranted the attention of the hooded shooter. Jax Matthews, a ten-year-old boy in the library, looks for his opening to escape the terrorizing sight and sounds. Jax makes a run for the back of the library where there is a door. Jax runs as fast as he can out of the library and notices the worst sound imaginable that creeps through the library door: silence.?

Jax runs into a bathroom and curls up in a stall. Tears stream down his hot cheeks as he hears the screams start up again in the hallway. He hears footsteps come into the bathroom and Jax pulls his body even tighter, covering his mouth and holding his breath. As the footsteps get closer, Jax realizes the doors to other stalls are being kicked open one by one. “Someone is outside my stall,” Jax thinks to himself and prepares for the inevitable. Beep, Beep! Jax’s watch always goes off to signal the last few minutes of library time at 9:30 AM. He panics to turn it off but in doing so he gives away his position even more. Jax feels the creak of the stall door being pushed open, he trembles with his eyes closed and head tucked into his knees. The door opens completely and Jax can feel a presence there. His body, paralyzed with fear, knows someone is looking at him but it isn’t enough for Jax to open his eyes to see whether this will be his last moment alive. Jax feels a hand on his shoulder and hears a voice saying, “it’s going to be okay, son. What’s going on?” Jax slowly pulls his hands from his eyes and his face drops in shock. “Is this real?” he thinks to himself. He realizes the unfathomable: he is staring down the eyes of the shooter!

?“FREEZE! GET ON THE FLOOR NOW!” Shouts the SWAT team leader as the officers swarm the bathroom. Nelson looks down at his hand and sees the black P90. He drops the weapon to the floor, puts his hands up, and yells, “What did I do?!.” The SWAT team surrounds him and Nelson is placed in handcuffs.?

This story makes you wonder are their evil forces in this world, forces that are praying on weak minds. Suggesting that they commit evil, heinous, unimaginable crimes! Or are some people born evil? I believe our experiences/trauma, what we watch, what we ingest, and even what we listen to can influence our minds! Some would call that a form of hypnosis.
