As the automatic lights in the bathroom lit up he stared at himself in the mirror. He unbuttoned his shirt and a small look of concern crossed his face as he noticed a pair of small scratches on his neck. He was finding more and more of these as the days went by, days that seemed to take eternities to make their full circle. Ignoring the scratches he washed his slightly careworn face, his eyes catching the fresh flecks of grey in his dark brown hair, he knew his age was showing, he was after all 48 years old.
Now it was time to eat, then go to bed and hope the next day would be better. As Greg slurped down the remnants of his soup he decided to turn the Holovision on, it was always nice to catch the news, it cheered him up seeing others who were less fortunate than himself. “Ah perfect,” Greg spoke to himself as the reporter announced the numerous murders that had been happening recently. As Greg watched the names scroll by he began to nod off and fall asle…
The man known as Greg Smith stirred in his sleep. His eyes snapped open as he quickly jumped to his feet and strode into the kitchen, pausing only to retrieve the activators for his speeder. If one were to peer into his eyes, all one would see would be blank space. The roar of the speeder could be heard outside as the rooms of Greg’s apartment were once again filled with only echoes and emptiness.
The wind blew through the slicked back dark hair as Greg’s dark brown eyes stared blankly ahead. Suddenly coming to a stop Greg abruptly landed the speeder in a dank lower city alley. He jumped out and headed up to the bar across the street and stood in the grimy corner of the alley staring at several people who had just exited the bar.
He silently watched as two of the dark figures said their goodbyes and departed in separate directions. Swiftly moving around the sidewalk, Greg followed the figure at pace getting slowly closer. The figure appeared to be a young Twi’lek female and was slightly tipsy she turned suddenly and acknowledged Greg in her own language, looking at him as if she knew who he was.
Hands jumped out and quickly claimed their targets, before the Twi’lek could scream Greg had covered her mouth and had put an arm around her waist, drawing her into the nearby alley. As she looked fearfully into his eyes, tears began to form in hers as the knowledge of what was about to happen dawned on her. Greg quickly pulled out a long vibroblade knife and held it above his head.
Struggling to escape the Twi’lek quickly discovered a new hole in her neck, the vibroblade sinking deep until it met the vertebrae. The life waters of the young female trickled out as the blade was plunged over and over and ove…
The alarm went off, cursing; Greg slammed it off, getting up he felt sore and tired. He wondered why he hadn’t been sleeping well lately. Shrugging to himself he began to prepare for a new day of work, he always hated taking advantage of people, he didn’t like selling them second rate used speeders, but it was money and he had to pay the rent somehow…
