This was written for Wordle 65 at The Sunday Whirl. I recently watched a television show in which a sniper kills half a dozen strangers at random as a cathartic conquering of past failures. In the end of the show, just as he is about to kill someone else, he is taken out by another sniper, a "good guy". The conflict in my mind is this: does it make it okay to kill, if you're only killing bad guys? But then who decides who the bad guy is? What right does anyone have to make that decision? Yet, would it have been better to let the sniper kill an innocent person? I don't have any of the answers, but it's worth thinking about. I hope you enjoyed The Sniper.
