The other day, I was emailed a .txt file with the name "KWIAGII.txt". I think it's some kind of code, but I can't figure it out. In hindsight, it was pretty stupid opening it; it could've had a virus or something. Here's the file. I'm hoping someone out there smarter than me can decode this.

ALONE
If you can decode this thing, please put it in the talk page.
UPDATE: I've decoded it. It's a Vigenere cipher. I tried a bunch of keys to decode it, but couldn't find one. Then I tried ALONE, the most outstanding word in the message. The result:
"Who am I to judge, you ask. Who am I to play God, taking the souls of the innocent and pure? Who am I to claim that I am the highest power on this godforsaken rock, better and purer than anyone I may come across? Who am I to kill mercilessly, without a cause?
"Don’t make me laugh.
"I am not God. Nor do I claim to play Him. I am merely passing my time on this planet, doing as a higher power than myself has ordained me to do. But because of this, I am feared and rejected, loathed by all humankind. I am considered evil to them, a damned creature of hell, that somehow escaped to terrorize their population and devour anyone who dares to seek me out or cross my path by mistake. I can assure you, that is not true.
"I remember, quite vividly, there was a little girl, about four years of age, lost in an area of the forest near where I resided. She was innocent and carefree, unaware that I lingered in the background, contemplating my next move. By humanity’s standard, I should have killed her right then and there. But she was still pure, undeserving of such a cruel fate. I merely watched over her, keeping beasts of the forest at bay, until she turned to see my looming figure.
"Her reaction was not as I anticipated. Her expression should have been one of utmost fear and loathing, but it was quite the opposite. She appeared happy, reaching upward to place her small hand around one of my long, spindly fingers. Something about the innocence of the child stirred a warmth deep within me, and I sat next to her as she implied that I should. I watched as she played with a few flowers she had found in the gloomy forest, making necklaces that she put around her neck. All except for one. The last flower, a light purple and seemingly her favorite, she handed to me, telling me in a small voice, that it was her gift to me for keeping her safe. I took it, and though it had long dried out since then, it remains hidden safely in the breast pocket of my jacket.
"After that instance, I took the child to the border of the forest from where I assumed she came from, remaining the shadows to watch as her parents, as well as several of their law enforcement, rush to surround her and check her for injuries. Steadily, the group dispersed, and as I watched her mother carry her daughter away, the young girl remained looking over her mother’s shoulder to where I stood, little hand outstretched toward me.
"I hadn’t seen her since.
"Don’t be so quick to judge, pathetic humans. You have no idea what I am burdened with. I am forced to live my life alone, no one to offer any friendship. The only kindness I have ever received was the kindness of the little girl, and I can only hope she has not grown ignorant and evil, like society around her. For that would truly be a loss."
