055. Greed
There were two things Dr. Francis Facilier wanted out of life. One was life simple pleasures, for his every want was met and need were taken care of and then there was fame and fortune. He wanted to be feared by many and be very wealthy as well. It revolted him when he’d cast his sights on citizens or tourists that were in high castes systems then he was. They considered him scum on the bottom of their shoes or dust that built and had to be swept away immediately.
He wanted to rid of them all himself had not he have later complications whilst reaching his goal, a beautiful distraction came along and drove him off his planned steadied course.
He sighed knowing if he continued to pursue a likely opportunity with her, he’d for sure may as well kiss his fame and fortune good-bye. But if he chose with notoriety and wealth, he would be happier off alone but then would see her with some scumbag he knew wasn’t best for her and then would go out of his way to just bring misery and torture to him until he decided to leave.
Boredily, he picked up a random card from his deck facing down and carelessly flipped it over not really paying attention to the meaning, more focused on trying to figure out the pros and cons on his current predicament.
He could be a rich loner, seeing that was all he has ever known to be. Alone. But being alone had its own regrets. Didn’t have someone to discuss with how many victims he pulled in for a matter of a day or for the smallest details he was too amused with to notice and wanted to share. Then there was the chance of him not having to worry about anyone or their lives except for his own.
But something changed in him abit when she would discuss about future goals and plans. Wishes she hoped to achieve before her life thread was cut short by the inevitable and Dreams of settling down and having children was the last thing he’d wanted to do but something in her eyes when she talked about all this nonsense made him feel warm and somewhat inspired. Deep deep down inside, he wanted to share that same dream with her but would often recoil lethargically or tease her to just become easily amused by her almost theatrical expressions.
He pulled himself back into reality and looked down at the card he had previously pulled out and flipped. He then grinned realizing he didn’t have to pick between the two anymore.
He could always have them both.
