This story contains themes or mentions of suicide or self harm.

The Human race is a piece of garbage!... Deafening sounds in my head, a chiming bell that always rings, a mocking laughter, the very actions and thoughts that perpetuate that not-so-amiss thought that humans are pieces of garbage. Through these very thoughts, I understand why I must take action, why I must be the one, to not only save the world but to save humans, from themselves. The thought always fazed my mind, that humans are the reason why the world is to come to an end.

I remember back in the day. My father would always tell me to stop acting like a confused cockroach. At first, it did not mean much. A miniature phrase I would always brush off my shoulder. I told myself that he did not understand the thoughts of intelligent people like me. After all, dull and dumb words come from small minds but after a huge turn-out of events in which I make a mistake, he would always point it out and say the same words as before. Again, again, and again, I eventually lost count. It then finally hit me. How could I be called a cockroach, such a filthy and disgusting creature? If only he were to be called a cockroach and know how it feels.

My mother always turned a blind eye, afraid of getting back because of giving out- getting back twice as much with more pain as an additional season. It was not easy, an abused mother, and a harsh, violent father. What a world I grew up in.

As I grew up, I found out that everyone was just as vile and wicked. Men rapping women. Women abusing children. Thieves steal every chance they get, for what, survival they say. How pathetic! It is these very acts that make me want to puke. Revolting. Crime at every corner of the city, part of it just knocking at your doorstep. Some of it, inside your house, all of it is inside you! Purity is only a myth. Almost an epiphany of how the world is to become a “better place.” The Human race feeds on all other living beings, Killing the alive, re-killing the dead and even itself.

Chaotic, greedy, Selfish, Evil, Lustful, not even enough to define a mere human. Actually, it’s an understatement. I always felt great disappointment when villains such as Darkside lost to people like Superman. First of all, what’s super about him? Second, is he even a man, cause there is no ordinary man who can do that. What astonished me more was how foolish he was to fight for the so-called world, to be more exact, the human race. Absolutely stupid. And Batman, just a rich man playing cosplay like a kindergarten child. Well, he did entertain us in his fights against joker but the laughs did not last unfortunately.

 Back to Darkside. He was powerful that’s for sure but losing to some human beings playing hero, how disappointing. It’s not only him. Joker, Thanos, Magneto, Red Skull, and Doctor Doom, they all lost in their battles. They shaded mud on all villain’s names, making a mockery of us. Nonetheless, there is still hope to change the world, to save humanity.

In as much as the world sees me as a villain, wolverine seeing me as an evil force to be destroyed. I see myself as the only hope for a better world. All the things that are destroying the world are because of humans. Global warming is purely due to humans. High infant mortality rates are purely humans faults. Humans are so pathetic that they kill themselves, an act they like to call suicide. They think suicide is wrong, they say it is a sin, but I see people who commit suicide as people who have seen the light, and have come to a realization of just how evil the human race is. Depression, awful social life, and broken relationships, all caused by humans, and the end result is suicide! They talk about empathy, sympathy, kindness, things that they cannot even comprehend and do themselves. Instead of judging the suicidal, they should at least find out what they are going through. But no they call them sinners, unholy insane. If saving yourself is so bad in their eyes, then it leaves me no choice.

Human beings will never change. All they know is to exploit, judge, and kill. In the wars they begin without end, who is suffering? The animals, the plants, the world! They are beyond redemption. It brings great pride to save humanity. I do not see myself as a villain, I see myself as a hero, the symbol of justice and a sign of peace. Human beings will never admit they are wrong, something I learnt from my father. They will always turn a blind eye to their wrongdoing, and others as well, just like my mother. If you won’t kill yourselves so as to purify the world, then let me do it for you. I will make sure to wipe out every human being from the face of the earth.

Human beings are always talking about world peace as if they are even putting an effort towards it. How silly to even have such a thought. But, do not worry, and rest assured, I will make sure to bring peace to the world, to make the world a better place. Of course, I will need your cooperation for it. Nonetheless, measures are in place if you do not want to work with me. Do you know why? No one is going to stand in my way! I will make sure to destroy the entire human race and finally reach world peace. I will clean up the world of all the garbage in it and make it clean like never before.

With this amazing new invention. Human beings are made from cells. These cells all have something in common in them that are only adhered to in human beings and when matched to a certain frequency they, and only they respond to the radio waves of any form. The radio waves this machine transmits have the ability to mutate human cells and allow them to explode. I call it the vacuum cleaner. Get it, just like a vacuum cleaner, it removes all dirt without even a speck of dust remaining. All it takes is a single push of this button and everyone goes Kaboom! With this, the world is sure to became a better place. This is not wicked, it's just wickedly good. So, sit back and relax, I will be the hero to save you all from your greatest enemy, yourselves!
