My pessimistic novel

When I worked in Africa, I was infected with Malaria, because it spreads easily there. I was in despair and drunk everyday. I started to hate everything around me. It seemed that God is totally unfair. I needed something to loose my anger. I bought a gun and shot something. It’s a lion because It was the first thing I found after buying the gun. I felt something like ecstasy. I wanted more to shot. Next day I shot a tiger because it attacks people. I thought all tigers should be killed for human beings. But soon shooting animals couldn’t satisfy me. While I was thinking like that, one woman passed by me with diamond on her finger. Suddenly it occurred to me that people wear diamond because they have nothing to spend money on. I grabbed my gun and slowly aimed at her.
