I Killed Them
-----
I thought it was a school trip. I didn't know what was going on. We were all sat on the bus, having a good time, then we fell asleep.
When I woke up, we were in a building, collars around our necks. I remembered thinking with disgust that I wasn't an animal. Then my old teacher, Kitano-sensei came in and told us we'd been chosen for the BR act.
I remember how scared I was. And then he brought in the mutilated body of our teacher. I felt like screaming in horror.
Then we were forced to watch a video telling us about the BR act. Then there was Fujiyoushi. During the video, she was whispering something, so Kitano-sensei killed her. And second to die was Nobu. The collar exploded and so did his neck. Then we were given our things and we went off to kill our classmates.
I started off with a sickle. I remember standing nearby the cliff, watching Yamamoto and Ogawa jump to their deaths. I wanted to throw myself off. In the end, I looked for a place to stay. I found a shack with Yoshimi and Kuramoto hanging on a tree outside.
In the shack was Megumi. She had a stun gun. I talked to her, then slit her throat and took her stun gun. Call me cruel, but I didn't want to die.
The next day I heard Yukiko and Kusaka shouting about everybody joining together. I was just about to get rid of them when one of the transfers, Kiriyama, killed them instead. I watched in horror as he lifted the megaphone to Kusaka's mouth. I heard her desperate cries for help. He was a heartless murderer, but then, so were all of us, I guess.
Soon after, I found another house. Hirono was inside this one. She took my sickle and examined it, asking me if I'd seen Yoshimi and Kuramoto. Then she told me that she'd seen Megumi dead, her throat slit with a sickle. She threw my weapon at me, threatening to shoot me. She knew I'd killed Megumi.
I looked at her and the gun, wishing for a painless death. But in the end, I killed Hirono instead and took her gun. I didn't want to die! I wanted to grow up and marry a nice boy, and have a normal family! Was that too much to ask!?
The next one I killed was Chigusa. I watched as she chased Niida in the forest. I wondered why he didn't use the crossbow of his. In the end, I watched as she stabbed him repeatedly, then I jumped out of my hiding place and shot at her. I heard next morning that she was dead. One more down.
The night I killed Chigusa, I killed two more, Takiguchi and Hatagami.
I remember seeing Noriko at one point. The lucky bitch. She had Nanahara and that other transfer, Kawada, to protect her. I would have killed her then, but Kitano-sensei appeared, so I ran.
The next one I killed was Kotohiki, just after she'd killed Sugimura. By this time, I was sure I was going insane. I couldn't stop murdering people. Maybe it stemmed from problems I had at home. Maybe it was because I wanted to make something out of my life, be better than my drug addict mother.
I killed them. I killed them to save myself. Does that make me a murderer?
I felt the first bullet rip into my flesh. It was that crazy murderer, Kiriyama. But I wouldn't die without a fight.
It took six shots before my body gave out. My last words echoed before everything went black.
"I didn't want to die a nobody..."
