Studies: Re-Living the Tragedy

The smell of bacon and eggs being cooked on the oven by my wife was amazing, I waited behind the table with my beautiful little daughter.

"Once upon a time, Mr. Incognito was a family man. He had a wife and beautiful little girl. A nice home in the suburbs, a quiet, happy life. It looked for all the world like he'd simply grow old and get fat, and bounce his grandkids on his knee. But one day he and his wife decided to take their daughter to the church for the first time, Incognito's family just happened to get under the Axe of an insane Priest, they get chopped up, the whole family, except Incognito. And that's what flipped the switch inside him, that's what turned him into Mr. Incognito."

My wife turned around, bringing the bacon and eggs over to the table.

"Now what I'm trying to do is get inside his head so I can..."

"Please let us go..."

She sat beside my daughter, poor dear, she was tired of her job and here I was talking about my job on top of that.

"Oh you're right, I shouldn't talk about work over breakfast, so sorry. I'm new to this whole family thing, you know."

I started eating my breakfast, they just sat there looking at me, I felt bad that I was the only one eating, but then again, I was kind of hungry, but once they noticed that I was worried about them, they started eating as well.

"I must say though, I'm really starting to like it. I never saw myself as much of a settled-down, wife-and-children sorta guy, but it's not a bad life."

I saw my little daughter eating, while looking at me.

"You kids... Man, I gotta say, I now see what all the fuss is about with you guys, I really do. Watching you two cry yourselves to sleep last night, it really hit me, life is precious, we've got to live everyday like it's last, because you never know, it just might be."

I finished my meal.

"That's why I've got a very important day planned for us today. So eat up, your gonna need your energy. We're going to take our daughter to the church for the first time dear, isn't this what you always wanted to do?"

After that we all got inside the car and I made sure everyone was strapped in, as I went behind the steering wheel, I kept on saying.

"Hi, my name is Mr. Incognito and I'm a happy family man. I'm going to the church with my family, going to introduce my daughter to the family tradition, cause it is very important. Hi my name is Mr. Incognito and I'm a happy family man..."

We went to the Church which my wife always visited, as we were walking down the hall toward the confession booth, my daughter looked up at me and said:

"Please don't hurt us..."

"Hurt you? Are you kidding? I could never hurt you! I love you! All of you, with all my heart!"

We were getting closer to the booth.

"You're my world, you truly are! I don't know what I'd do without you."

We very close to the confession booth.

"I said, I don't know what I'd do without you!"

A crazy priest ran out of the confession booth, hacking and slashing my family down with an Axe, I watched the horror happen in front of my eye and during all of that, only on thought was rolling through my head:

"My name is Mr. Incognito and this is the happiest day of my life..."

I watched it happen until my family was completely dead, I sat on the ground for a few minutes, searching for a feeling...but I felt nothing...

"Boss? Boss, did I do it right?"

"It didn't work, I didn't feel it, I didn't feel anything..."

"Boss?"

"It didn't work, we'll have to do it again."

This is a hard experiment, will have to take a few tries to work.
