Another clear example of Anti-Social Personality Disorder....well done. It leaves us all wishing the Dad had a gun....right there.

Horrible. Horrible. Horrible.

Makes the skin crawl a bit.

Well, a lot of it is culled from real events. I've strung together bits and pieces of fact with fictive connective tissue. Kind of like real life.

Thanks, man. The concept that real evil is subversive is a large part of why I was drawn to this particular story. There's a lot of sensationalism in the newsmedia when covering a tragedy of this nature, and that tends to lend a distance to it that keeps those of us not directly connected to it safe. Real evil, as you said, is seemingly banal and always comes clothed in a subversive and unexpected form. It comes as your neighbor, the kid down the street, the guy who mows your lawn, etc.

Frigid.

It is.

And as a sidenote I'll give you a hint, if you haven't picked up on it already:

Truth is subjective. That's the key.

Indeed it does.

Thanks much!

Thanks much, Maurice.
