People often ask what caused me to become a criminal. Was it preordained? Destiny written in the stars from my very name?
They know nothing. Fools, all of them. Trying to make sense of the chaotic universe we all live in. Grains of sand buffeted by the winds of eternity but claiming to understand the way that they are moved. Looking for patterns in the tea leaves and ascribing cosmic meaning to them.
I know better.
I have glimpsed beyond the curtain of reality and have seen truth.
It all started when I was a child. I may have been the only dinosaur student at the school, but I so desperately wanted to play basketball with the other children. It was all fun and games, literal games, until I killed another student with a dunk that shattered the backboard and every bone in his body.
That was the moment I truly knew the fragility of life.
After the conviction, I decided to start playing soccer while in prison. No one tackles quite like me. The leg length and strength that comes with being a literal Tyrannosaurus Rex may make some people complain, but it simply doesn't matter to me.
The only thing that matters is winning.
Because winners can commit crimes in plain sight.
