I see a crowd of people gathered around a cleared out space outlined by bright yellow caution tape. A crime scene. I hear the voices of children, teens, adults, and elderly.

One middle-aged man with a tired, stern face, argues with his wife. "There is no such thing as a victimless crime."

I AM THE VICTIM

A teen couple holding hands on look the bloody massacre. A beautiful, youthful girl sighs. "I really hope they catch the perpetrator..." She whispers.

I AM THE PERPETRATOR

An elderly couple make a resolve and hope for the best: "justice will be served."

I AM THE JUSTICE

A young boy tugs on his mothers shirt tail. "Mama," he begins, "why didn't a super hero save 'em?"

I AM THE HERO

But I couldn't save myself.

Subconsciously, I pull down my long, black, cotton sleeves to further cover my wrists. I grip my forearm tightly, reopening the most recent wounds. The sweet, crimson blood stains the sleeve of my shirt, coating it in a sticky, dark liquid. I push back my sleeve to expose a long line of deep, bloody gashes. Tears gather in my eyes and I close them. I feel a warm tear slide down my cheek and land directly on one of my cuts.

I am:

The victim

The perpetrator

The justice

The failed hero

I AM A CRIME SCENE
