I Killed A Man Once

I Killed A Man Once

"I killed a man once. I don't want to talk about it." And except for that one mistake on that long ago first day in his new high school, he never had talked about it with anyone. He knew the moment those words escaped his lips that he had made a mistake. A big mistake. One that could change the very course of his life if it did not bring him to an early grave.

Because the thing was, he had killed a man once and he knew that it could mean his life if he were to talk about it.

And so he went home from school that day scared. Shaking. And he stayed up all night thinking. Desperately trying to come up with a way to undo his mistake.

But not all things in this life can be undone. Sometime during that long night, Billy had realized that this was one of those things. And so he hatched a plan for self preservation that was to forever alter the course of his life.

All because he had opened his mouth trying to impress his new classmates when he should have kept quiet. Well, that and because he had killed a man once. He shouldn't have talked about it.
