Anger. Rage. Murder. These are the steps Charlie took, climbing ever so slowly, lingering, stalling, debating, but never turning back. He wasn’t familiar with the paths of reason, understanding, compassion, kindness. He only saw the steps. And he climbed them. One by one. Eager to complete the ascent and then gladly repeat it.

a powerful narrative; he sure had a powerful instinct; a frightful ending: you always had a glimmer of hope that he’d be cured: people like him are to be pitied and feared ; well written, Terveen —
Thank you so much, John. Unlike physical ailments, mental ones are still far from being understood. And those suffering pass their pain and miseries on. Monster is a convenient word but so inappropriate.
Sadly he couldn’t see another way.
Yes, he was bound by his mind. It’s sad…
Who was his next victim? His mother or did he kill himself?
Could be either, both, or neither. A disturbing fact.
This is utterly horrifying, Terveen ~ just ~ WOW! 😱
Well written, but ~ oy!

I appreciate it, David. The mind can be the most unreliable place…
Dang, that’s sinister, and amazingly crafted. It’s unfortunate, yet your write expresses a reality for some people. I am hoping not too many. 😅 Awesome write, Terveen. 😊
Thank you so much, Jeff. I hope so too. Take care and have a great weekend. 🙂
You’re most welcome, Terveen. Always. Thank you. A lovely Sunday to you. 😊
If we are bent on doing something evil, our mind has the capacity to concoct a story to justify that act. The man, even if mentally unstable, still has that unstable mind, which can probably cook up whatever way it wants the body to act! I felt like reading a case in a psychology book!
That is very true, Deepak. An unstable mind concocts its reasons and justifications. And the actions follow in pursuit. The mind is still a much unstudied sphere. Thanks and take care. 🙂
