A 12p short story by Jason M. Tucker.
How far would a father go to avenge the death of his child? Is there any hope of returning to the man he once was?
The bloodletting and graphic imagery in this story may turn some people away, but at its heart, I believe “Confession of a Righteous Serial Killer” is a short horror story about love. I think most people, and parents especially, will understand this.
Confession of a Righteous Serial Killer originally appeared in the magazine Black Petals many years ago. This is the updated and revised edition.

Mankind is on a runaway technological bobsled ride.
Nanotechnology will, one day soon, deliver godlike powers into unprepared human hands.
One of those unprepared humans, may very well order:
"Give me a Lazarus virus."
"A virus that will make everyone twenty five years old,
in perfect health and immortal."
"The virus should act as a racial autoimmune system, like an anti virus computer database, no disease, no aging, no excess body fat."
"And what of excess population at my Lord?"
"Make everyone sterile!"
"And what of the vast data networking requirements for this distributed organism to maintain its coherency, my Lord?"
"Use human semen, code the necessary information using protein, vast amounts of data can be transferred."
"And of the network itself, my Lord?"
"Tell them all, have unsafe sex.
Unsafe sex three times a week with strangers.
If they use a condom, they will grow old and die within the year!"
"Yes, my Lord, it will be, as you wish."
