    About this ebook

    THE VILE KIND is a flash fiction collection centered around the vileness of humanity including three stories tilted, "Destination for the Generations", "Six Beat Rain," and finishing with, "The King of Color." The stories include characters that show certain aspects cruel nature and how easy it is to be deceived by them. We start off with a story consisting only of dialogue between a group elderly people reflecting on their impending demise. The next story is about the relationship between a verbally abusive uncle and his naïve niece. The final story tells of a modern day king that uses his power to use young artists for the benefit of his amusement. You may be disappointed by the content in these stories and might be even a little disjointed, but I hope that you get to discover the reason you are here staring at dark words on light pages.

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
