Mark Chapman opened his suitcase. He glanced around the sparse YMCA room. It only had a single bed and a black and white TV. Chapman took out a 38 caliber Charter Arms. It was similiar to a snub nose Smith and Wesson. He began to practice getting into a combat stance.

He was angry at John Lennon. Lennon had boasted that the Beatles were bigger than Jesus. In Chapman's mind, he had to be killed. He wrote songs about peace and love. To Chapman, John Lennon was a phony. 

Later, Chapman thought about himself outside the Dakota. When Lennon arrived, Chapman would have him sign an album. When Lennon walked toward the entrance of the Dakota, Chapman would get into his combat stance. Then he would fire five times into his back. No more John Lennon.

Chapman put on his Russian hat. He put the revolver into a pocket of his coat. He smiled as he left the room. All is well.
