[ WP ] When a child is born , he is born with tattoos that will tell the story of his life . He spends years trying to decipher them , but - as it is with everyone - he is unable to . As life goes on , however , situations surface and he begins to understand his tattoos .

I was the only guy in my class with a skull tattoo. Everyone else had a tattoo of course, we've all had them since birth, but everyone else had nice ones. Flowers, butterflies, sailing ships, hearts and stars. But only I had a skull. Everyone said it meant I would be the first to die. Marty had a big dollar sign on his back. That meant he was going to be rich, a CEO of a fortune 500 company or something. So I beat him to death with a baseball bat and stole his lunch money. You see, the skull didn; t mean I would be the first to die. It meant I would become a killer. And Marty's dollar sign? That he would die because of money, in this case, my jealousy over thinking he would grow up rich. 
 
 the end.
