Subliminal Messages

John walked casually down the aisle of the grocery store. Browsing the products lined neatly on the shelves. Little to his knowledge, the generic grocery store music he’d been hearing had a secondary audio being played behind it. Just below his awareness, the voice spoke to his subliminal.

The audio whispered to his subliminal.
“Hello John, your looking rather handsome today, but you seem to be angry. You found out the man down the aisle is sleeping with your beautiful wife.”

John became suddenly became furious without reason.

“The government doesn’t like him much either. He’s plotting against this country, you don’t like that John. Do your country and yourself a favor John and kill him….. It’s ok, your doing it for your wife…… your doing it for your wife….. you’ll be a hero….. you’ll be a hero….. you’ll be a hero……”

John took his car keys from his pocket, approached the man and proceeded to kill him.

John was sentenced to life in prison for manslaughter.
