Good Killers Are Hard to Find

This story at first I considered like a comedy, first we have this manipulative grandmother who wanted to go to Tennessee and always trying to get in the good side of the people by saying to them, that they are good men. And more funny than that she even said to a cold blooded killer called himself Misfit that he was a good man. . If he is a good men then I should be considered a saint or even meant to be the next Pope. I Also though that she had a mental disorder because she wanted to go to house in Georgia but then she realize that that house was in Tennessee. The other character is the son of the old hag named Bailey, ho is sour like a lemon and for him what is good for him is good to everybody, if he say the family was going to Florida, everyone has to go to Florida even if it meant to die by a killer. Then we have the wife of Bailey, for me this was a very interesting character because I could not find the difference between her and a baby's car seat, I think that she was mute o something like that because I can not recall her speaking in the story and she was always carrying the baby. But one thing is for sure, as a baby's car seat she can not be trusted because she was the only one thrown out of the car in the accident but thankfully she and the baby made it alive, but not for long because she was not bullet proof. And the last two character were June Star and John Wesley, now this kids were something out of this world or maybe to deep inside the gate of hell, I swear that this kids have, instead of the numbers of 666(the mark of the beast) in their head, they have the 6,666, they are the next generation of devilish been. This kids were unrespectfull, extremely sincere and to damn malicious. If Red Sammy asked this kids if they consider him fat, this kid will answer:" yes fatty, you are more fat than the cows you use to sell meat in this stinky and rundown restaurant". What I could expect of this brothers is that some day John Wesley will become a dictator like Hitler and maybe June Star will marry him.

Well the thing about the story is at first is very funny, but at the end it becomes very sad and confusing. For me the culprits are the grandmother for thinking of house that was not in that area and the kids that I think maybe they saw the future and because they are so evil they forced Bailey to go to the middle of nowhere. The family, in there way to the imaginary house they have car accident and the wife was thrown out of the car like garbage. Then the this three strangers arrive and the 6,666 kids start talking about the guns that they have, but the stupidest thing was said by the grandmother by confirming to one of the starnger as the Misfit. The Misfit saw this dysfunctional family and though of doing some community service by wiping them out from the face of the Earth. The last one to kill was the grandmother after saying all those "eyeliking" thing she could not save her neck, so the Misfit tell her:" say hello to my little friend" and bang, bang, bang!. Three shot to the old hag to be sure that she is dead. I really did not know that the endings was going to be so tragic and serious, but maybe that how life is, unexpected.

Your view of the killer's motive and the family is a very very humorous one. When i read the story for the first time, i also found the begining humorous yet the end quite tragic. The kids are brats yes, but I believe there no diffrent to any other kid their age acting like there werent any rules. The grandmother was a very complicated character and maybe the reason she seems to think moments before she dies that the Misfit is actually a good man is because he seemed to show her (in very complicated monolouges) his true vision of faith and religion, which seemed to affect her. Yet youre right, the killer is still a crazy crazy man for just shooting people so they have epiphanies the last seconds of their lives.

First of all your titles are very original and attractive to the readers so congratulations. I agree with you when you said that the grandmother has a mental disorder. She probably is starting to develop amnesia. I also agree when you say that it is crazy that she calls the misfit a good man because a good man should be what you said. But I'm gonna have to say I completely disagree with you on the other aspects you discussed in the story. I didn't think it was a comedy nor a parody. I don't think that John Wesley is going to marry his sister. But on the other hand, he might become a dictator.

Remember that in those times women were like that. Their role was to take car of their children, husband and house. They couldn’t work or do anything else. You are very sincere, have a really big imagination and tend to exaggerate sceneries…that’s good.
