Well, for my Writer's Craft course, we have to write a short story. Now, I know my setting is gonna be in this creepy abandon school, and the characters are pretty creepy looking too (think Marylin Manson like). So anyways, I was thinking there's this leader, and then a bunch of followers (who were hypnotized) that kill a bunch of people. Except I can't think of an idea why.

So I was wondering if any of you's would have ideas on why these people are killing others.
I'm thinking maybe a cult, but I don't know what kind of cult that would go into?
Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

oh dear..

well how about the leader makes them do it because he gets all his life energy from the last breath the killed people take?

Thank you!
I think I might actually use that!
