“Shey kin shi?” He sang repeatedly on his way to his last mission.

This time, he took the cow’s skull off his face so he could easily locate her.

“There is one group of people I hate the most in this world.” Mr Kanayo said to the atmosphere when he finally found Amina’s hiding spot, “Bullies. The oppressors. The intimidators.”

He stood behind Amina hiding beneath the bushes, with grasses and leaf particles all over her clothe as camouflage.

“Please don’t hurt me, Mr K.” Amina begged when she sensed his presence behind her. She must have seen what he did to her other classmates and knew she would be dead meat if he caught her too. And he did.

“Please, sir.” She begged again even though he hadn’t made a move. Yet.

Mr Kanayo stared at her long enough, debating what move to make next. But he only had one thing to do.

He took a step backwards and turned around, leaving Amina utterly clueless.

“Leave.” He said to her. “Go and don’t look back.”

Amina shocked and confused, scrambled up and stared at Mr Kanayo’s back facing her.

She didn’t hesitate for one second before she turned on her heels and ran away to the opposite direction.

But before she could get to the end of the next tree, she found her body being lifted up in the air.

All Mr Kanayo heard were Amina’s scream and a squelching sound from behind him. But he did not move an inch.

The corner of his lips began to twitch a little before he had a full maniac grin plastered on his face.

He didn’t need to turn around to see what was going on behind him. He knew the python at the top of the tree had caught Amina and began feasting on her like the next meal she was. Just like she feasted on other people’s weakness.

Mr Kanayo put his hands inside his pockets and walked away, letting the python finish his last mission for him.

His eyes were the darkest they have ever been. He never felt more alive and accomplished than this.

He stared at the moon proudly and smiled his best smile yet. It is finished, Baba. The weeds have been wiped out and the farm is sterilised once again.

Behind him was the ugliest yet most beautiful sight for Mr Kanayo. The bodies of the young weeds, all lying dead in a pool of blood on the forest ground. Not a single one was alive anymore.
