Eric’s life was totally miserable!

The reason? He possessed one of humanity’s worst traits and biggest drives, he was power hungry.

But not just any power hunger, he actually was delusional enough to believe that had he been born in the ancient eras he would have dominated the entire world as we know it.

Gengis Khan, Napoleon, Julius Cesar? They weren’t worth his toe nails… or at least thats what Eric believed!

3 of his most common phrases were :

“ God did not make me a woman cause he knew I would dominate the human race “ ;

“ Me arguing with you its like Socrates arguing with the Island Boys “ and last but not least :

“ What’s in it for me ? “

His hunger for power existed from when he became socially sentient.

Eric was never one of those who wished for world equality, or adored the stupid thesis of communism where everyone was born equal and should have the same amount of money and opportunity.

To Eric communism was what hell was, pretty much everyone living in the same bubble of common-ness with no opportunity to better oneself .

“ Whats the point of being equal? The beauty of life is becoming better than everyone, having a better car, a better woman, a better house. Poor people simply exist to scare the shit out of me, I am the one who will rise to the top and look down at everyone and everything below “

Eric was speaking these delusional sounding sentences while wrapping up a kebab, his co worker Daniel meanwhile was mimicking his words. Words that he would hear every single day from 2 pm till midnight.

I am sure a lot of you are wondering how does he work at a kebab shop when he was such power hungry?

Well Eric was one of those, who aims big and dreams big but too lazy to do anything about it. Even though to be honest in his mind he had already achieved much .

He was only 23 years old and he was making kebabs in England, which pretty much paid better than being a minister in the eastern European country that he was from.

Well only if you don’t count the corruption earnings that those ministers took, but still evidently he was doing much better in life than his friends back home.

“ I am telling you Daniel, you only make it in life if you shine bright like a star while everyone’s light dimmed in your presence “

Daniel’s continuous nodding stopped for a second as he halted.

Looking up from the kebab shop’s windows he gasped for air and turned his head towards Eric in slow motion like a cartoon character.

“ Oi mate, talking about shining bright like a star… are those fucking stars falling down on earth? “

“ Hm? What the fuck are you talking about? “

The wrap fell from his hand and his mouth opened just like Daniel’s .

He became lost at that sight, it was like something off a Sci Fi movie, billions of stars raining down on earth at tremendous speed.

Before he could even comprehend the events unfolding in front of his eyes, a gold start that shone brightest broke the window’s glass and entered the chest of his friend Daniel, which blasted him at the oven , splattering plates to the ceiling.

Engulfed by golden light the now unconscious Daniel was raised up floating mid air, the light was entering his mouth as if it was being absorbed by him.

“ Daniel, what the fuck are you doing.. DANIELLL “ *BOOM*

He had no time to even worry about him, a dark star oozing blackish smoke hit him right in the chest, it felt as if every bone on his body broke.

-Is this how I die , he thought…

Smiling faintly without even having enough strength to curve his mouth muscles.

- Surely only a star could kill a star, I met my end in the hands of an equal !
