The Anti-Hero
Write about a hero that becomes a villain, thinking that they’re not in the wrong.
Perception
I’ve been like this for a while now. It started as a motivation to help. Little did I know, the enticing world of darkness is a little bit easier than “good”. I don’t believe it’s bad though. Just not what I had expected. I sit now on the roof of the building, looking over the city at night. There is different perspectives to everything. People who are “bad” are simply just people with different views of life than people who are “good”. What most people don’t realize though, is that there is a very fine line between perceived “good” and “bad”. And life is life. You only live once. Why not have fun and break a few rules while we’re still alive? It’s much more gratifying and fun than fitting into other’s rules. Memories are little trophies of the times we listened to ourselves instead of other people. We are all people. No better than one another.
It’s all perception.
