This is my first story and is not entirely complete but i wish for some feed back of what i have thus far.

Dear Sgt.Jonathon

Have you… have you ever wondered what it was like to kill another human being? Well, right there means i can’t send another one of these letters, but… i don’t know, i just feel like writing to you. I suppose this is brought on by my intellectual type of mind my thirst for knowledge. I always felt the most organized when i write to you of my thoughts.

You may wonder why i ask. It’s nothing peculiar really; It all began when i was scanning the some sites for something to read. I came across a site of old war stories called “The Evil’s of War and their Killers” I try to stay away from these books as i find disturbing knowledge… addicting, but i was curios and as a man of knowledge i read all of it. What i read… disturbed me as it also fascinated me. I found the russians brutal torture and vicious combat style unnerving the most. I mean what drives a man to kill another in such a brutal fashion.

Well that’s what i ask myself these days. What goes through a humans mind to make them kill another human being? Why do they feel they need to take the life of another innocent human?

What goes through their mind as they watch their victims final breath, knowing that they are the reason behind it? I don’t know why, but it’s torturing me, not knowing the answer to these questions. Normally i’d just look it up, but none of the stories had interviews with these beast and i'm sure none wish to speak of what they committed in the wars and even so let them be released to the public. I’d ask you but i’m sure you're not very keen on letting these be released, I don’t think you’d let anyone read them. I want to know why though?

Your faithful friend James Emmerick
