I have read "Lollipops and Guns" by Robert Cornier. The story is about Miro and Artkin who would kill a bus-driver. Miro thought that he would do something to make his life meaningful before he die. Miro is a sixteen-years-old boy and Artkin are a bit older than Miro. As I understod the story, Miro lived with Artkin.
Miro had planned the murder for a long time. He was ready to get started quickly so it were over as soon as possible. Miro had planned to hijack the bus and kill the driver. They waited for the bus and Miro became more and more restless. But when Miro and Artkin finally go on the bus, Miro realized that the driver was a girl, so he had to changed the plan.
To calm the children on the bus, they had chocolate with drugs inside.
My first thought when I read the story was, "who the f*ck is killing just a bus-driver; a school bus-driver?"
Okey, I think the plan was a smart plan but I'm a little bit confused, actually... Miro was sixteen and already a murderer, almost...
And I also think that the meaning with the story where that nothing is predicted from the beginning, everything can suddenly change and one day you buy a money lottery and you win a million dollars. You buy a house on the seaside and become a real snob although you wasn't that the day before you where a winner.
Maybe Miro was a good one once upon the time! Everything can change for just a moment, when you least expect it.
