They were in a room together. Breathing the fetid air, eating and farting in front of all 23 of their compatriots. They trusted each other so little that they removed all the internal doors. It wasn’t their house, the bodies were long gone in the bin. The women would pretend that they were normal human beings by saying that the ‘hardest’ was the little boy. Where as in reality they were just masking their sick delight at the child’s demise. They hated purity, innocence, decency, ethics. They despised that, with a desperate hatred. because they despised themselves, but the only way that their sick minds could translate their own feelings was to destroy “the enemy!”. The enemy was anything that made them feel bad about themselves. A lot of the recent victims were innocents, little boys particularly, if it was a little girl it would be an intelligent one, or a non binary one (how they hated that), or just pretty. And the monsters in their team, hand picked by “Mummy” and “Daddy” were all similar in their disposition.
They would take turns on their victim. Some even gritted their teeth in pure hatred (mostly the women, the men just looked sad) as they annihilated the victims brains and bodies. All of this was done remotely via tablets and mobile phones. A laptop had the victim data on display – their location, heartbeat, ambient noise, and breathing rate.
Children were involved and they were used to take over from the lazy adults who just wanted to chat, conspiratively, in the corner. The kids were groomed to hate the victims and treated it like it was a computer game. The victim was even called “it” to both dehumanise and to make any discussion by the kids in public look less criminal. The kids all had their own phones and tablets and often logged into “it” when they were not supposed to and added to the torture.
The victim did not know who was doing this to them, they were just given commands to follow that would supposedly save their brain or body from damage. Most did them but this victim did not. Not a single one, not even the “repeat after me”.
The victim could not protect or defend themselves, they could not save themselves or get to who ever was doing it. The people doing it ignored that unfair disadvantage. They pretended that they were in a fair fight. That was the cowards way.
The man closest to the victim, the only one that she knew sat watching her suffer. Watching the job being done in plain sight. He said and did nothing to intervene. That is the cowards way.
