Yes, he killed them, but it always looked like it was nothing more than an accident. It always looked like it was a death that Fate handed out.
He was the mastermind behind it.
And he got away with it.
Why?
Well, maybe it was because he was damn good at what he did. Smart people were the ones who would take over the world.
Not the quiet.
Not the flashy.
The smart ones.
They were the true movers and shakers who helped the rich ones survive.
And he was good with that.
After killing them, when they were buried, he’d make sure that he found them again. When he did, he would go to their sacred resting places and dig them up.
Yes, dig them up.
BY HAND.
It only took a few hours, since he was in perfect shape, and it was time to reflect on their little moments together. It was precious time, and he liked it a great deal.
So, he cherished it.
In the middle of the night, before their original graves could heal over, grass making them pristine, he would open them up, and take his treasures.
That was also one of the best parts.
The collecting.
The act of killing them was fun, but the act of removing what had gotten them killed in the first place…
That was even better.
With time, he perfected it, and that just proved that brawn and brains overcame anything else life handed you. Money came and went, but your intelligence…
That was what saved a person every single time.
At the beginning, when the media found out there were grave robberies, they had given him a name, and he was proud of it.
The Grave Robber.
In fact, he was more than proud of it. The whole thing tickled him pink. The idea that he would go down in history as someone who would be remembered for what they did…
He deserved it.
Maybe he was sick, but that was the best part of it. It made it fun.
He had a legacy, and that was the most important thing to him.
He would never be forgotten.
No matter how long he’d been dead, that name would carry on, and how he traumatized the community with his actions. Like the best serial killers before him, all that mattered was the trail of mayhem remaining in his wake.
