Sakyo's Demise Chapter 1
The rich man Sakyo presented a noble, calm poker face to the general public. Every middle-aged man in that small town, down to the last doornail, envied all of his possessions. A snobbish old bastard that lived on the edge of town near the abandoned mines, Sakyo was not the man to cross.
His lawn was dangerous because of the tunnels that ran underneath. Sakyo used to own the mines that flowed like rivers under his leaf-green grass. The mines used to harvest gold, silver, brass, and most importantly, a form of nuclear energy called Tritium. Unfortunately, a piece of Tritium, no bigger than a pinhead blew up, sending radioactive radiation through out the mines. Everyone in the mines died instantly. Even though the mines have long since been decontaminated, nobody dared to go down there. No one was sure how the rumors started, but nevertheless they believed that a mafia member was down there, waiting to kill anybody who was foolish enough to explore in those depths.
Around town, Sakyo was a prime target for rumors, such as that of the Mafia member, because every one loathed him to the bottom of their hearts. Sakyo had a long gash streaming across the side of his face, pale skin and long jet-black hair. It made him look evil to many people and that was the truth. Because Sakyo lead a double life. In one, he was just the bastard that everyone knew. However, in the other, it was much more mysterious.
He had some of the most of the most wanted mafia members in the world visit his house to discuss drugs, murder, and heists. Unfortunately for him, things didn't always go as planned. Sometimes he would have to "defend" himself and kill. But one night, that all would reverse and Sakyo would unknowingly, unwillingly, pay the ultimate price. The previous evening, Sakyo had a little "disagreement" with Seth, the Soviet mafia leader. Seth wanted to disrupt the 2004 presidential elections however Sakyo said that it was too risky, and that if they got caught, not even all of Sakyo's money would get them on bail. With a shattering blast, Seth slammed his fist onto the table and shouted, "I will not stand for this!" Seth then drew a 12mm handgun and fired. Lucky for Sakyo, Seth missed. Before Seth hade time to react, Sakyo drew and fired, and missed. The two began to exchange lead until they ran out of bullets. To Sakyo' s dismay; Seth got away but shouted, "YOU WILL PAY!!" before disappearing into the night and becoming as visible as a ghost's shadow.
Everyone in the town had heard the gunfight the night before and it was the main topic in the morning. Nobody knew exactly what happened but it went along the lines of this: guy went into Sakyo's house, they had a gunfight, and bad guy escapes. Now Sakyo feared for his life. Despite his efforts, no company could install security that day, only the day after.
Finally, night fell. As Sakyo slipped under the covers he was over come and fell asleep. At exactly midnight, Seth crept in to Sakyo's room with a penknife in his hand. Seth slammed the knife down into Sakyo's throat. At first, nothing happened, then, blood started to gush everywhere. It advanced and crept over the side of the bed. Sakyo flinched, and then, he was dead.
