Truth

My life wasn't always like this: running from place to place, chasing the scum of the earth halfway across the galaxy for a few measly woolongs and trying to avoid the Red Dragon shit. I've been doing it for so long though that it feels old hat; never gonna change. But I'm just your average guy, I swear; trying to make a few bucks here and there, getting drunk one night and waking up to find that Jet's had to lug me to the ship again and put me on my side so that I don't drown in my own puke. Yeah, just like any other guy without a conscience. Of course, some would argue the fact that I hunt people down for a living hardly classifies me as normal, but I say, hey, a guy's gotta make a living somehow and bounty hunter pays just fine by me. But then there's him. His name suits him perfectly, Vicious. He was the one who made Julia disappear. He gave me this cut, this damn cut that won't stop bleeding even now, and it's gonna kill me eventually. He stole my whole life! I met him two months ago and I was going to kill him. I almost did to, but then he found her. He found Julia, and he killed her; then I finally killed him. It didn't solve anything though, because, yeah, I got him, it's true, but like I said, he got me. Just nicked my heart, and my life has been seeping away ever since. It won't be too much longer, I think. I'm not scared, I've got Julia to look forward to, but all this has made me realize that, hey, I'm not so old after all.
