Excerpt
I fell asleep while the murderer sat outside and stared at my apartment windows, the voices in his head were becoming loud again, and he knew it was her fault, he thought she was pure, wholesome, had been treated badly. He knew now that she was just another slut, the anger raged in his blood. She didn’t deserve his love, but she did deserve to meet the other side of him, and she would, oh yes, she would, very soon he promised as he drove off.
