I am a product of my environment.
These are the words Terrance Horatio Youngstein-Gonblower uses everyday. These words remove blame, calm the troubled soul, and ease the mind.
He reminds himself of the countless beatings at the hands of countless fathers. He reminds himself of the meals he had to receive from the generosity of strangers at soup kitchens. He reminds himself of the many homes he has lived in, never in one for long, always cramped and always filthy. He reminds himself of the assorted scars, cigarette burns on his arms and fractures in his bones. He reminds himself of the loveless mother.
He thinks of these things and absolves blame from himself and moves it to all the experiences that make up his identity.
He remembers the time he drowned the kitten.
And feels the anger he felt while being made to kill his pet.
He remembers the time he hit his mother.
And feels the pleasure he felt and finally being able to show her who was boss.
He remembers the first woman he raped and murdered.
And feels the power flowing through him, the raw lust in the act and the smell of her terror.
He remembers the first time he was raped in prison.
And feels the loss of his power, the intense pain and the humiliation.
Terrance Horatio Youngstein-Gonblower walks calmly to the execution room an EKG machine following calmly behind him like an uninterested witness. He enters the execution room and is strapped to a gurney covered with a plain white sheet. Two IV tubes are put into him, one in each arm and a harmless saline solution begins flowing through his veins.
When asked if he would like to make a final statement all he can say is " It wasn't my fault".
He sees the people gathered to witness his death murmur and shake their heads and he feels their hate. He knows no-one in this group and realises that he has no friends or family here to share in his final moments. This is a cold and sobering thought.
Men gathered behind a curtain press buttons that deliver the first drugs into his system.
Terrance Horatio Youngstein-Gonblower falls asleep never to awaken.

The writing was lacking in detail for the most part, and need a bit more enhancement to be what I consider good. The idea was not a bad one, but it didn't draw me in- just not enough reason for me to care, to be honest.
+1, however, for a piece of writing, with a decent story behind it, making most heated.

It's a well known fact that drinking a warm drink in the hot sun cools you down more effectivly, that's why the British Raj drank so much of the stuff.
You see, this is exactly why you need British people to come over and take care of you, to show you how life should be lived. We could set up some manner of student exchange program, students have to do whatever we tell them after all.

Shit, you made me laugh out loud with that one. You think the devil drinks iced tea?
Old school Texans brew sun-tea. They put the tea bags and water in a jar and let it steep in the blistering Texas sun all day. I've never had anything quite so refreshing. It's fuel for the soul. I just couldn't fathom a glass of warm tea. I'd just as soon saw my legs off.

Sorry Berty, Ive never had English tea. In Texas we live on sweet, iced tea. It's a staple of every meal including breakfast and if anyone ever put milk in it, it would fetch them a severe beating.
When brewing this kind of tea, you know when to add the sugar and ice when it tastes like used dishwater
