The Evil Series

Fredrick Uri Kristen ... better known as Freddy is a professional hit man who travels the world based on the contract kill, he's been hired to do.

Freddy also has a deep and abiding hatred for other individuals he kills for no charge. These people use and abuse children, especially those who profit from the children.

For his contract kills, his choice of weapon is the Rutger SR40-C. Lightweight, compact, and extremely powerful handgun. For anyone else he goes after, his choice is the Bowie knife. He will slice you to pieces with it if you happen to be on his list of "Who to do."

But Freddy wasn't always this way. As a child, he had learning difficulties, thus, his parents sent him to a special class. This class had strict rules and to not comply would mean a form of punishment no young person should have to endure. Several months had passed when he returned home and a week later, his house exploded due to a gas fire in the kitchen.

Freddy was blamed for it as his brother, Peter looked on. Sentenced, he was remanded to the state asylum for twenty years. At the time he was fifteen.

Several years had passed and he became a self-learned man. Between that and physical exercise he was strong in both mind and body.

The guards at the asylum would repeatedly beat the inmates, either because they broke a rule, or they were bored.

A day came when Freddy had had enough. He overpowered and killed five guards and torched the asylum where it burned to the ground and made his escape.

Time passed and he met and fell in love with a woman who knew his past and was determined to keep Freddy in that "peaceful" mode. For two years Freddy was happy and content with the way his life was going. His girlfriend even got him new identification and fresh look. Freddy's life was good. He even worked where she did at a playhouse and was learning makeup styles for the actors who performed and became quite good at it.

Then came the apartment fire. He almost saved her, but the floor let out from under both as he was carrying her down the steps and they fell two flights down and she died. Freddy had burns, over seventy percent of his body and the anger that laid dormant all this time resurfaced.

No one knows what he really looked like as all the information about him at the asylum burnt in the fire. No fingerprints on file anywhere to be found. He is a ghost.

And pretty much after that, his new life started. To date, he has over seventy contract kills and a good three hundred personal kills. He sees it as doing what the courts can't or won't. Giving them a life sentence in hell.

So, to answer the question are they made or born, the answer is yes to both. Just that some people are forced into it by circumstances, while others relish the idea of being evil. With Freddy, he's accepted who he is. And that could be the key to the question.

Can one accept being a bad person and live with what they do? The teenage bully who becomes a father and teaches his own son to be the same way. It's a cycle that can never be fully broken.

As I wrote that, l I changed my mind. It's not accepting what you become, it's the circumstances that brings you to where you are that defines good from evil.

After all, one day you have to get down off the fence. The side you jump to makes all the difference in the world.
