Warnings: Murder, mentions of animal testing (literally in passing).


Murder

Jonathan Crane never had liked other people. His fellow university students were immature and no where near intelligent enough to hold his interest; they cared more for getting drunk and having intercourse than their academic achievements.
Jonathan was the student who was always working a year ahead of everyone else, he was the student who was never late, always handed in his work early and to a First degree standard.
Quickly though, Jonathan realised that University was a mixed blessing; on the one hand there were no more physical beatings and the bullying he had suffered seemed to almost vanish. Instead the other students would avoid him, make casual derogatory comments, never talk to him, and for Jonathan this was perfect.
Jonathan finished his Bio-Chemical course (with a side degree in Psychology and Sociology) with a perfect score and he quickly obtained a job working in a research laboratory.

It was just another experiment (looking into how toxins in the brain can effect mental stability) when Jonathan made a mistake. A simple miscalculation, a moment of distraction and his volunteer Test Subject Number 28 was exposed to a lethal amount of the chemical. Subject 28 died within minutes.
Ah. Jonathan circled around the corpse with interest. This will certainly cause an anomaly in my data. His cold and calculating nature wouldn t even deign to think about feeling guilt or worry over killing a test-subject; Jonathan had already wracked up a fair body count (though admittedly it had always been animal test-subjects and never a human before). Instead, he calmly started to make notes, Subject 28 died in 4 minutes 23 seconds of exposure, seizures occurred before death, without an autopsy the unofficial cause of death is heart-failure.
It took Jonathan a few hours to learn all he could from Subject 28 and when there was nothing more, he calmly loaded the corpse onto a roll along trolley and deposited the body in the incinerator.
It had been a long day and Jonathan was tired, so he left and only paused to write a reminder to find a new test subject and to begin investigating the links between neurotoxins and the effects on the mind and body.


Hey there all.

Soooo it's apparently been two months? I have the sucky excuse of I'm at university and WTF I have a social life where the fuck did that come from? ...Yeah apparently they just spring out of no where now.

Anyway, back to the drabble above. ... Well, it's short.
IDK I was really having trouble trying to write this because the thing is, I can't imagine Jonathan actually caring that he just killed someone. The poor guy was a test-subject, and in Jonathan's feild of work, Test-Subjects often end up in the incinerator.
I suppose I had hoped that the end sentence implies that this is what starts him on his obession with the human mind, but whatever.

Aaaaand I have no idea as to what I'm going to write next, so if any of the lovely reviewers have a request, I'd be more than happy to write it! (eventually).

Special special thanks to Kijo Kurosaki for the wonderful review and actually reminding me that I was still working on this -_-
