Killing is Easy

by Joe McCool

The world is full of people walking around blissfully secure in their untested virtue, hiding behind the thin veneer of propriety we wear like halloween masks. Sure, we all like to think it's someone else who's ready to snap. It's some stranger who's going to lose their ability to reign in the killer instinct. But we all have that primal urge to kill. And killing is easy when it's programmed into your DNA. You can thank your Gods for that one.
