Is this what Paul felt, this lust to hurt? It feels surprisingly good. The long-suppressed part of you cracks its chrysalis.
What will it feel like to slice a knife into those pale cheeks? To peel off his skin. To let his warm blood trickle over your hands. How soon will the scents of blood and fear outgrow those of beer and mint? To see the fear in his eyes. Uncertainty first. Then fright. Panic. Terror. Knowledge of death.
Will you give him what he deserves? What all men deserve.
Nobody knows who he is going to meet, so his body, when finally found, won’t be linked to you. He’s the perfect first object for your vengeance.
Only a fool would let this chance pass by.
