Sorry for those who wanted the next update to "House Of Cards". I'm working on it! I wrote this yesterday when my husband was in the shower with my son. It's for Chibizoo's fanfic contest to write about someone evil. I did this because I think that indifference is one of the worst forms of Evil.
This is loosely based on Weird Al's song "Why Does This Always Happen to Me"
I don't own Yu-Gi-Oh in any way, shape, or form. Too bad, huh?
Rated PG-13

Malik ran into his house. His favorite television show was starting in 3 minutes. He had to get the channel set, and the VCR recording before it started. Damn his sister for forgetting to pick him up on time! Damn Rishid for taking to long to get to him with the other car!
He turned the TV onto channel 12. Made it! He had been waiting since the beginning of summer for the end to the cliffhanger. The main character was lying face down in a fountain. The paramedics had just said, "He's dead".
The opening credits came on. The main character was still in them. Maybe he wasn't dead. Recap from 3 months ago...HURRY UP! I know it already! Just tell me what happens DAMN YOU! He kicked the base of the TV. Finally!
Then the commercial came on. This had to have been some sort of sick joke. He ran to the bathroom and came back just as the first scene started. They were rushing the main character to the hospital, he had started breathing again.
"We interrupt this show to bring you breaking news. There has been another suicide bombing in Israel. Current reports estimate that there are over eight hundred people dead. Thousands are seriously injured. This is one of the worst attacks in the nation's history. We have a reporter live on the scene."
Malik stared at the TV. He couldn't believe it. Why did this always happen to him? Here he had been waiting for months for the conclusion to this show, he had set up his VCR. And the goddamn news had to break in on it! Who the hell cared about a stupid bombing! He didn't know anyone in Israel, and even if he did, he could have waited until after this show to find out if they had been hurt!
He picked up the television and launched it out the window. Great, now when it does come on, I won't have a television to watch it on! He kicked the wall.
Isis came into the room. "Malik! What have you done? There has been an attack in Israel; I just heard it on the radio! Why don't you have the news on! They are estimating almost one thousand people have died. Malik, why is there a hole in the wall?"
"Why does this shit always happen to me?"
"What are you talking about?"
"My TV show, the one I have been waiting for for months, has been cancelled because of a stupid bombing in Israel. Who gives a flying fuck? Why does shit like this always happen to me?"
His sister glared at him, coolly got to her feet and turned around. "As hard as it may be for you to believe, little brother, this had nothing to do with you. Almost a thousand people are dead, and it has nothing to do with you."
"It has everything to do with me! My show was cancelled because of stupid people doing stupid things."
Isis left the room, her words echoing in his head. " Almost a thousand people are dead. Almost a thousand people are dead."
