They say there is a fine line between genius and insanity but I don't know this line because I'm a genius and everyone else probably thinks I'm a little crazy but I don't care, I've never cared. People could never understand the complexity of my mind, the inner workings are too intricate for the likes of mere mortal men to comprehend. Is that really my problem though? It shouldn't be, it should be their problem. Why can't they get to my level?
My name is Edward, Edward Nigma to be exact. I work for WayneTech, not because I want to but because money is a necessary evil. You would think that being as bright as I am that I wouldn't need to work for people but alas access to the best tools around cost money as well and I don't have a ton of that. However, what they haven't been observant enough to figure out yet is that I've been stealing tools and blueprints. The reason they haven't figured it out its me is being the genius that I am, I've set other people up for it. I don't care about other people, I only care about me.
However, when the head of the Research and Devlopment department called me into his office, I was pleased. Maybe it was about time for me to get the praise that I was so rightfully due. So many people had gotten ahead on my hard work, it was time for my genius to be appreciated. I made my way into the office and stashed my ego away, for the moment being. I took the seat that was offered to me.
Edward Nigma: "You wished to see me, Sir?"[/i]
Head of R & D: "Yes Edward, I did. I have some bad news for you. We have to let you go, budget cuts and all."[/i]
My eyes flickered with rage. I slammed my fist against the table in front of me and glared at the man.
Edward Nigma: "You can't fire me! I do all the work around here! Without me, this place is nothing!"[/i]
Head of R & D: "That's not true Edward. Please pack your things and go."[/i]
Edward Nigma: "Oh I'll go, but this isn't the last you've seen of me."[/i]
I slid out of my chair and made my way out of that office. I got all my things together and took it out to my car. I was given a nice severance package but that wasn't going to be enough to satisfy me. I wanted revenge and I would get it, no one would stop me from getting what I wanted.
Three Days Later...
I'm sitting in my apartment, with a copy of the Gotham Gazette in my hands. I look down at the headline from the days paper and I cannot help but smile. Head of WayneTech Research and Development Murdered! And below the line was a picture of the murder scene with a big giant question mark on the wall above his desk, made out of the man's blood. There were no fingerprints, no traces of any physical evidence and I had been questioned, and provided an alibi. The police had verified it but they couldn't hang it on me, plenty of people had been fired and vowed revenge. Sure, I was the only one who had actually gotten it but I was the only one who was smart enough to get away with murder. It was the perfect riddle that no one could solve....no one but me that is.
