Teach me to Live [53]

“Monsters?” Ritchie asked incredulously. Maria’s eyes flashed with anger.
“Yes, you idiot. They’re mutants. Something about them, it’s not right. It’s in their mind or in their genes. They’ve become cannibals. The ones they don’t eat, they give to other ones like them. It’s cruel, the way they do it. Word of the wise, don’t drink the water.”
“What? I don’t drink from water fountains, they’re gross and dirty.” Ritchie said matter-of-factly. “But what does that have to do with anything?”
“Don’t you get it? They use mind control, they get people to stop thinking so that they’re off guard and can be attacked and eaten easily. And they do it by putting chemicals in the water! Is any of this getting to you? This isn’t a game, and this is way more than a rehabilitation. I applied here because i thought it would be great to help people and would look great on a college application plus giving me some extra cash. Now, after a year, i know what they do and i have proof. All i need is someone to help me kill them all.”
