Murray, aka, the “Bleach Monster” has spent the last few years traveling. Eventually, he relocated to a neighborhood he lived in many years ago. He was forced out of that one. The poor soul was forced to move back to the planet he grew up on. He had to reside under the watchful eyes of his family. There were factors that forced this upon him.
Finally, he relocated to the system he went to when he first flew away. He was doing better these days. In fact, after the few years, he spent all over the world his bleach episodes were fewer and fewer. He was at peace. Well not really. But things were different.
He interfaced with many more cultures. His old location was ultra-homogenous. All of his senses opened up. It may have shortchanged his attack mode. But remember he only fought to help people. He never shot out bleach unless he was saving someone from distress.
Dani and he are still great friends. But her life changed, too.
Lately, Murray has been feeling tense. He had wound up in many places where the people are so judgmental. They ask way too many questions and blame him for things he has no control over.
Throughout all of this, Murray has kept his cool.
In one institution, they blamed him for things. Of course, these things were not his fault. He did the right thing. He walked away and found a group of people who were not like this. They made fun of everyone. Equal torture. LOL
But then he met someone that he thought was super amazing. Then he found this person, who claimed she was not judgmental was ultra that way. As usual, he was played for a fool.
He thought this person rocked. But the more time they spent time together. The more Murray realized the phoniness that prevailed. But he is stupid in some ways. He’s too stupid.
One night they were hanging out in Red Hook. He had enough of hearing what’s wrong with this one and that one. Murray dated women who had tremendous physical handicaps, people who were short, tall, and heavy, whatever. He was open. Or probably he is desperate.
We all have flaws. Some are too immature to realize this.
They were walking down the street and he had enough. He lost it. She was thankful for what he spent on her. He didn’t care. She asked him what was wrong. He declined to answer.
She pressed him He held back. Then all of a sudden bleach shot out of his eyes like rockets. Her beautiful brown hair was no longer brown.
He turned to the dark side. He always had it in him. He never used his powers to hurt anyone that wasn’t being hurt. But the for the first time he couldn’t take being hurt.
He unleashed more bleach than ever. She passed out on the ground. He looked at her. He stopped. He checked to see if she was breathing. She was dead. He laughed. He ran toward the subway and hopped on a train heading toward the Lower East Side.
Was Murray who had been a kind soul, a killer?
Dani was only a few feet away when this occurred. Her being over there was unusual. She usually stays on Staten Island. She was scared. She didn’t know if Murray has changed or what was going on?
But she set her mind to figure it out and stop if she must. She would bring him back to being the helpful one.
But could she fight him? Could she win?
