Thirst

Jack was a person who helped others. He would never hesitate to help who wanted his help. His that attitude was appreciated by all except for one person who happened to be his former classmate, Joseph. He had a thirst for blood, as he wanted revenge on Jack for the crime, which Jack had committed but the people saved him because he helped others. The crime was grave Jack had eloped with his (Joseph’s) sister, raped and murdered her. The whole act was covered by the society and police got no evidence against Jack hence he moved in the society freely without any fear as if nothing has ever happened.

Joseph vowed to kill Jack and hide all the evidences just like Jack when he killed his (Joseph’s) younger sister. He planned how to kill Jack at what time and at what place.

Joseph started to follow Jack to everyplace he thinks he could get info about his whereabouts like office receptionist, clubs, and restaurants. He got to a conclusion that on every Thursday irrespective of any important event, Jack would go alone to meet his daughter who is in house far from the place Jack lives and it takes at-least four hours to get Jack back home by driving car at 60km/h. He made a decision to terminate Jack on Thursday when he is returning after meeting his daughter.

Everything was arranged and Joseph followed Jack to the house and when Jack reached almost halfway he was stopped by a person who was Joseph in disguise, masked with scarf and told Jack “Sir, my car engine is overheated do u have some water so that I can cool it down” Jack said with a smile “Sure why not, actually I filled the bottle as I was returning after meeting my daughter. The bottle is on the passenger seat next to driver’s seat. Wait here I bring the bottle to cool your engine.” As Jack turned after fetching the bottle Joseph smacked a hammer hard on Jack’s head resulting in instant death and to evade from police he cut himself in many places so that it may appear that he too became victim of some thieves who stole the car and money. He drove the Jack’s car to some distance dissembled it took some parts and scattered it along the pavement after every 5 kilometres or so. He got help by a passer-by who happened to see him in wounded condition, Joseph told that there is another man who was his friend and is now dead. When he reached hospital, the doctors quickly examined and treated him without any delay.’

Jack’s funeral was held after two days in church near Jack’s residence. Jack’s wife and his daughter also came. To Joseph’s horror, the wife of Jack was none other than his own sister.

Joseph trembled because he knew his sister was dead but when he called her “Mary” and she responded he was in shock. He was under the impression that his sister was murdered but on the contrary, it happened just the opposite.

Jack indeed raped and murdered a woman but that was not Joseph’s sister but some lookalike of her. Mary told Joseph how they both loved each other but a man of evil mind had murdered her husband mercilessly.

Joseph accepted his crime and he was sentenced life imprisonment. His thirst for blood and vengeance resulted in his own downfall and later his death.
