[WP] The most influential and Famous War Hero of this century is tired of being called a Hero. Today while live on TV worldwide he snaps.

"I'm tired of this shit, it's not who I am!" on repeat over and over again. Even as he shouts you couldn't help to notice his medals in the wars he fought in to preserve our freedom, the man was a hero even up on the highest building that he was ready to jump off of. After the terrible realization that he had jumped right when the police almost had him, I could basically here the gasps blocks away from where I lived. The live feed stopped, I smashed my tv in anger, people and fame had put this man in a landslide of insanity, and I have to be honest it made me think of my purpose, but I had it going good so far.

My daily routine did not change, I woke up, took a shower, got dressed in formal clothes, and went to my shitty job in the same office I was at for five years. The daily gossip began and already people were mourning the death over the great man that jumped off a building. As weeks went on I studied the footage over and over again in every form from the deep web, to Fox News, and it all stayed the same. "Today we mourn the loss of Marcus" every single anchors sad saying the next day.

I woke up, it was a Saturday, the day I wait for the most, and as I see the clock it's 2:41 PM, and I turn on to see this hero, Marcus walking outside the headquarters of this news station, looking straight into my eyes, I began to think I was dreaming until the screen began saying "They Lie" and within a minute it switched back to the regular showing of my local news.

"Not again" I said, as I heard a ring on my door.
