"What Spills Human Blood" by ARK

In the years I've spent flying around, observing human beings, there is one thing that always struck me as bothering: Earth is a bloody place.

A lot of times, I'd see people gathering around, whispering about some poor victim, lying on the cold, concrete pavement. I'm always compelled to ask: "What spilled this person's blood?"

In fact, I've listed them down. The most common causes of human death and injury, at least, according to my experience.


1. Murder.

Well, this is a given. According to the ever-reliable world of Team Fortress 2, "'Cause at the end of the day, long as there are two people left on this planet, someone is gonna want someone dead." That sums it up.


Common motives: Jealousy (somebody's lover was stolen by someone else, so somebody killed somebody else); Heated Arguments (someone went out drinking with someone else, and they got into a fight); and "For-the-heck-of-it."








2. Road Accidents.

Because some ass couldn't drive properly. (It could be you.)

Common causes: Drunk Driving (someone stayed out too late, got too drunk, and got too happy while driving), Sleepy Driving (someone should have stayed in bed instead), and Speeding (someone was 0 to 60 in 3.5)



3. Accidents in General.

Sometimes, even if you are very careful not to hurt yourself, life will find a way to injure you.

Common causes: Sheer misfortune (someone never found the four-leaf clover), Poorly constructed buildings (someone corrupted the funds), Stray bullets (someone shouldn't own a gun)




4. FIRE.

Some men just want to watch the world burn. But most of the time, people who are left homeless because of fires are unwilling victims.

Common causes: Faulty Wiring (someone said it was the wire's fault), Stoves (someone left the stove open), Candles (some candle tipped over.)

Common situation: Victims' houses are often made of light materials, and are usually built dangerously close to the neighbor's.




5. Crime in General.

Because if justice doesn't work, crime does pay.

Common tactics: Robbery (someone didn't want to leave a trace), Riding-in-Tandem Gunmen (someone wanted someone else dead and payed to see it done), Killing Spree (someone should have went on a shopping spree instead)




6. Nature's Wrath.

When even the world is mad at you, there's nothing to do but run and pray.

Common examples: Storms, Earthquakes, Landslides, Tsunamis, Wild Animals, and the Occasional Lightning Strike.

(Occasional.)

With all these said, we come to one conclusion, the world is trying to kill us all. It's a dangerous place to live in, and it is reminding us that this is not the world we want to stay in forever.

Final reminder, I guess we can only stay careful and hope for the best.
