I Killed Someone.

chapter 1/on probation

the world is reborn because of one company.

“Bullshit! Absolute fucking nonsense.” Heads turned toward the girl as she continued to let out profanities. Angry parents gave her nasty looks, covering their small children’s ears, but Evangeline didn’t care. All she cared about was the newspaper in her hand.

She shook her head and threw the paper on the wet concrete sidewalk. The robot gave her an emotionless look. Nowadays, people don’t work in customer service anymore. Even if they wanted to (which nobody did) they wouldn’t be able to. A law was passed in 2057, almost 70 years ago, preventing citizens from working in any store, restaurant, maintenance shop, little girls aren’t even allowed to sell lemonade in cardboard stands anymore.

Evangeline turned around to see the newspaper robot staring at her, it’s eyes incredibly human-like. It’s unsettling. She awkwardly turned back around and walked away calmly, having gained control of her emotions once again.

The government had taken her car and license nearly ten years ago, so she has to walk everywhere. Busses aren’t an option either, all ‘Automatic Motorists’ scan bus riders as they get on. If the rider is for any reason on the government’s ‘Dangerous Citizen Under Government Watch’ list, or DCGW list, they get forcefully removed from the premise. The government gave up on second warnings, in fact they gave up on first warnings too. The quote everyone knows all too well is, “You get your warnings in your email. You should know where you belong and what your social status is. If you don’t, you deserve to be punished,” -Mycroft Raith, 4th U.S.E president.

When Eva finally arrives at her puny apartment which reeks of moldy carpet and polluted rain water (though the whole city smells like severely polluted sewer water) she sighed heavily and slid down the closed door, placing her hands on her head. What was she going to do now?

Typically it is mandatory that citizens have roommates, but since Evangeline is on the governments DCGW list, she has lost her ‘roommate privileges’, that’s what her email from President Raith himself said, which is stupid, anyone with half a brain knows that a privilege is a special right, not a law. Of course she could never say it-there are cameras everywhere and one negative word about Mr. Raith is a death penalty.

Eva really isn’t sure if she prefers having a roommate or not. At first it was nice, the peace and quiet, more room, cleaner stuff, but most importantly she loved the thought that the government was scared of her and what she could do to stop them. Though, recently, it hasn’t been that great. She felt empty and she hadn’t done enough. Sure, she got some people to go against Raith, but some people isn’t enough. The entire population, both dead and living, are so brainwashed it feels like there’s nothing she can do.

She heard someone banging on her mildewy door. She groaned quietly before getting up and twisting the cheap gold handle that had come off multiple times.

“Evangeline Slasher?” A rather large man, who she immediately recognized as Knox Flair, asked. Evangeline knew nearly everyone that worked for the government. He had on a full body swat suit, well, what swat suits used to look like when they still existed. The only thing missing being the typical ‘SWAT’ that was replaced with ‘MR Co.’ Mycroft Raith Corporate. God that man is pretentious.

“Salutations. Is there anything you need, sir?” Eva said with mocking respect and a deadpan stare. The man looked uncomfortable.

“Yes.” He avoided eye contact. “My name is”, “Mr. Knox Flair. Nice to meet you.” Eva interrupted him. She stuck her hand out for the man to shake, which he awkwardly pushed away with one finger. Of course, she wasn’t expecting anything else from a brainless ‘police officer’ who would do anything himself for the president.

“Right, so, you’re being arrested. Please put your hands behind your back. Anything you say now may be used against you in prison.” Knox Flair sputtered out. The saying used to be ‘anything you say now may be used against you in court,’ not prison. Well, the government changed it, Preston Frederick Hilary, the founder of U.S.E (United States of Earth) got rid of lawyers. Once the president decides whether or not you are to be put in prison or not, that’s final. The president controls everything in this sick world. ‘President’ basically just means ‘King of the World’.

“I didn’t do anything! What do you mean i’m arrested?!” Evangeline practically shouted. “Did you not see the paper? It says exactly why you are getting arrested.” Knox Flair questioned.

Yes. Eva had seen the paper. She had read exactly why she was getting arrested. She knew this was coming-she knew it was coming since she decided she was going to speak up against Mycroft Raith. Speak up for all the people who had been brainwashed to think this is what’s good for them and for all the people who were too scared of what would happen to them if they protested at all.

She hesitated, thinking about what to say. Eva had always been stubborn, that wasn’t about to change. She settled on “I refuse to surrender to these retarded laws, though i refuse to inquire in Raith’s game, I will not let some crackhead control me like a puppet nor will I let him control these poor dolls anymore.”

Knox Flair looked taken aback. But soon his face contorted to immense anger, to a simple smirk.

“Are you resisting?”

That’s when she knew she fucked up, but she didn’t let him know that, of course. “Yes.” She crossed her arms stubbornly, to show dominance or to show she wouldn’t be going anywhere, she wasn’t sure-perhaps both.

He pulled out a gun and cocked it quickly. Holding it to her face in between her ginger eyebrows. Knox Flair pulled the trigger back and Evangeline’s mind went completely blank.

Unsure if she was dead or alive, Eva hesitantly moves her hand to her head (which is pounding like crazy). She opens her eyes, which she didn’t realize were closed in the first place, to find she didn’t know where she was. It was possible that she’s in heaven. But there’s always that inkling in the back of her mind that says she would have gone to hell. That everything she believed was incorrect. No, no she did it for the people-maybe that’s a stretch, but it feels wrong to say that she did it for herself. No matter how true it is.

She looks down at her feet to see that her foot is chained to a, highly uncomfortable, bed. She looks to her side to see a musty cardboard box used as a bedside table and a a newspaper sitting patiently on top of it. She grabbed it to see it was soggy. “Why is everything always wet now?” She croaked, voice hoarse. On the front page is a picture of Raith, his pale skin and grin features. He was incredibly skinny and he looked constantly tired and old all the time-despite being 31. The headline read, ‘Our savior; Mycroft Raith Captures Bloodthirsty Murderer, Evangeline Slasher, Who Spread Nasty Rumors About Him And Tried To Impeach Him For Power’ she was definitely in Hell.

Great Guitarists 100 - John Frusciante, Tom Morello, Kurt Cobain, Billie Joe Armstrong, Kevin Shields, and Noel Gallagher [CROSSBEAT (November 2009)]

John Frusciante Rolling Stone magazine has chosen John Mayer, Derek Trucks, and John Frusciante as the three greatest guitarists of our time. The three greatest guitarists of the 1960s, including Eric Clapton, were from the UK, but all three are now American. Mayer and Trucks have a wide circle of friends, including Clapton, but Frusciante is a solitary figure. He has a thriving solo career, but is a martyr to the band. He devotes all his energies to expressing himself within the collective soulmate that is Red Hot Chili Peppers. John's guitar has no clear style. He can create catchy riffs, he can play well-crafted solos, and he's good at backing vocals. He has the versatility to adapt to any situation, but he is at his strongest in the arena of Red Hot Chili Peppers. This is probably due to the inspiration provided by Flea, a bassist with a deep range, and the support of Anthony, a vocalist who can make you listen with sensitivity rather than skill. The band's tone and phrasing are free and uninhibited. This style is supported by his concentration and the technique he has developed since his teenage years. It would be rare to find a boy who woke up listening to Captain Beefheart and practising 15 hours a day to Frank Zappa and Jimi Hendrix records. -Akihiko Yamamoto

Tom Morello Tom Morello's unique guitar playing is like that of a DJ. This is Tom Morello's trademark, but it is not his main focus. His backbone comes from hard rock. Tom was born in 1964. He got into rock with Led Zeppelin and KISS, then experienced punks like The Clash and formed his first band…… This is a typical generation. Tom followed this completely. In fact, in the midst of the heavy metal boom, he even learned to play technical guitar solos. In short, he had a very normal musical background for someone born in the 1960s. However, an encounter with the members of the band that would later form Rage Against the Machine marked a turning point for Tom. He was shocked by the hip-hop-tinged musicality that centred on Zack, and tried and tested it. As a means of countering this, he came up with the idea of replacing Public Enemy and Run DMC's DJ playing with guitars, which led to a series of unique performances. It was a kind of paradigm shift. In other words, instead of being a better guitarist than anyone else, he makes sounds that no one else can make. By changing his way of thinking 180 degrees, Tom Morello made a great leap forward as a guitarist. -Junya Shimofusa

Kurt Cobain Buzz Osborne, Greg Sage and Calvin Johnson. When considering Kurt Cobain's guitar style, the influence of these three cannot be ignored. Buzz, as you know, was a fellow senior member of the band and the man who introduced Kurt to the appeal of a slower, heavier sound. Greg led the Wipers in the late 70s and early 80s. Nirvana covered a couple of songs, but more than that, it's worth noting that Greg's psychedelic guitar sound is remarkably similar to Kurt's. And then there's Calvin. Kurt was strongly devoted to that spirit for a time. Kurt's lo-fi sensibility and artistry were developed while living in Olympia (Calvin's home base). Heavy, psychedelic, and lo-fi. Kurt has cleverly incorporated these three keywords of 80s American indie music to form his own style. -Junya Shimofusa

Billie Joe Armstrong How many kids picked up a guitar at the sight of Billie Joe playing his battered Stratocaster? His guitar playing, with its simple combination of power chord strumming, arguably played the same role in the 90s as Johnny Ramone's. Despite being labelled as mellowcore at the time of their debut, there is not much hardcore influence in Green Day's sound, including their guitar playing. Rather, there is a strong influence from 60s British beat and 70s UK punk. After establishing his own style with 'Dookie', from 'Warning' he began to use acoustic guitars to great effect. It is interesting to note that, despite having listened to hard rock and heavy metal before punk, there is almost no trace of that influence in his music today. -Tomoo Yamaguchi

Kevin Shields After original members Dave and Tina left the band, My Bloody Valentine became a twin-vocal band with Bilinda, who joined the band midway through. On the Rage label they were still playing an anorak-like guitar sound influenced by The Jesus and Mary Chain, but after moving to Creation they quickly evolved. Kevin's noisy and inebriated guitar sound had a huge influence on the so-called 'shoegazers' that followed. While his followers used a lot of delays and reverbs, the original used almost no spatial effectors. They created "fluctuations in space and time" by holding the tremolo arm, strumming chords and applying reverse reverb. The sound, which no one had ever heard at the time, even led to numerous speculations, such as "Could he be controlling the number of tape revolutions?" -Takanori Kuroda

Noel Gallagher Noel Gallagher is a well-known big mouth. His off-the-cuff remarks are often controversial. As the man who runs the biggest band on the UK scene, he probably has to be that bold. However, when it comes to his guitar playing, his personality is anything but bold. A fear of mistuning is evident. The guitar playing on the album, as well as live, is very collective. He never misses a note, as if he were following a musical score. Even the guitar solos, which are a guitarist's greatest showpiece, are almost exactly the same as on the album. In any case, he doesn't take any risks. In other words, you can see through his surprisingly naïve mind. In a rock world still infested with gymnastic machismo, this is a rare individuality. The band's music has the air of a big-boned, but in fact it is very sensitive. This sense of mismatch is Noel's greatest individuality. -Junya Shimofusa
