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…
