Brief Author Bio: I've been reading since I was 4, and writing since I was 5. And to be honest, I've never been able to stop myself from doing either. I've tried, too, either due to time constraints or personal challenge of fortitude, but it always results in the same circumstance. I must read. I must write. I'm a Sophomore at Central Washington University, honing my skills and hoping to become a high school history and English teacher. I have realized, after much deliberation, that I wouldn't be able to do much else with my life and be completely happy. Yes, money is quite the teaser, but I think I'd rather be in self-induced poverty while doing something that I know and love. I love movies, more than most people would care to admit. Things like Dr. Strangelove, 2001, The Godfather, Casablanca.. the list goes on and on. I am a movie buff, and proud. Well, I guess that's me in a nutshell. Figuratively speaking, of course. |

Synopsis: Buddy Borkowski: Trained Assassin
Brainwashing (tr. verb): a forcible indoctrination to induce someone to give up basic political, social, or religious beliefs and attitudes and to accept contrasting regimented ideas
Assassination: Because it's more environmentally friendly than a hydrogen bomb.
Excerpt: Buddy Borkowski: Trained Assassin
So it's a “hmm” moment, really.
It's the kind of moment where you look back on things, and you contemplate.
It all makes so much sense in retrospect.
20/20 hindsight.
It's called hindsight bias. It's the feeling of, after an outcome, knowing that one should have predicted that outcome. It's the concept of feeling totally unintelligent after you make a totally ridiculous choice. I should have known better. I knew that was going to happen.
So, I guess the real question is, what exactly did I do?
Well, that's simple. I killed a guy.
Correction; I killed many guys. A few women.
To be completely fair, I killed either a couple women who were really, really butch or men that were incredibly feminine.
I prefer not to ask questions.
The less I know, the better I feel.
After all, I'm not heartless.
I kill people in cold blood; bullet to the head, serrated knife to the throat. And you're probably wondering how I sleep at night.
Copious amounts of Nyquil. A big slice of cheesecake.
Regardless, that truly doesn't matter at this point.
I guess many things don't matter when you're being held somewhere in Central America by some FBI agents for Presidential Assassination.
Kind of a big whoops.
Kind of the sort of thing that sticks with you a while.
So, as it stands, I'm an Enemy of the State. A traitor. A terrorist. American Saboteur. And a douche bag in general.
