I'm Jerry, and I'm just like any other teenager you would run into during the late 2010s. Except for the fact that you could catch me saying that in literally any other decade as well. The 60s? Groovy. 80s? Totally tubular. A more appropriate question might be, "Would you feel remorse after ending the life of another human being?" And depending on who you are, my answer may change.

If your name is Biff, and you're a twenty two year old prick who preys on high schoolers and takes their money and mugs them, the answer is likely no.  

Another big variable may be whether or not I've performed a fatal operation with an extraterrestrial device that transfers the years of someone's life left to my own within the last fifty years, and, once again, that answer too seems to vary.

I look down at an empty makeshift grave, and my cold fingers are wrapped tightly around the handle of a shovel. Biff Johnson lies at my feet in a burlap sack, curled into a ball and crying softly into the layers of moist rags wrapped around his mouth and head. At one point, i would have felt remorse, but now this routine comes as naturally as getting dressed or wiping myself after using the toilet. I pulled the outlandish mesh of colorful wire, metal plates, and gleaming crystals from my pocket, pressing a button that cued two syringe like objects to eject out of its sides, gliding effortlessly through the air and penetrating the skin of my arm, then through the burlap sack and into Biff's head.

"Mmph!" He writhed around in pain, slowing down, then drifting into unconsciousness and finally death. A strange orange gas came out of his body, flowing through the tube, into the contraption, and finally into my own body through the tube and syringe attached to me. Time to hide the evidence.
