“If you ever want help feeling alive, call me. I could use some life as well.”
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a persistent one. Albert Einstein said that.
As a human being, one has been endowed with just enough intelligence to be able to see clearly how utterly inadequate that intelligence is when confronted with what exists. —Albert Einstein.
“Women serial killers statistically don’t torture. They’re actually far more efficient and harder to track down because of that,” Elise says dismissively.
One kill in Boston. One kill in Denver. One kill in Long Island. One kill in Maine. And now one kill in our own backyard in Virginia. This guy is all over the map, shitting all over a normal hunting ground pattern.
One month between each kill. The time frame hasn’t been changed, and it doesn’t look like the unsub is falling apart any time soon, if ever. I was hoping for a rapid devolution that would cause him to start slipping up by now.
My house is empty, quiet, and somewhat eerie, considering the case I’m working on. All the victims are a reflection of myself. Single. Alone. Physically fit. Living in a secluded area. Workaholics. My closest neighbor is a mile down the road.
Maybe it’s because I need to feel less like a cold monster and more like a woman. I lived. Others died. I lived, yet I feel dead.
when I’m not collecting on an overdue debt. It’s not exactly romantic to think of a guy while you’re slicing another one to pieces, but Logan was definitely on my mind during the three days I spent reaping the debt from Ben.
What if he sees too much? What the hell am I thinking? This is the stupidest date I could possibly go on.
Like a cobweb with a bunch of dead bugs in it… Again, not the most appropriate answer.
LOGAN: Tomorrow I’ll be a few towns over. Juggling a few cases right now. People just can’t seem to stop killing other people. Gotta love irony. We’re so terribly mismatched that it’s not even funny. If he’d seen the evil I’ve seen, he’d understand why some people deserve to die.
Well, I torture my victims first, but that’s just nitpicking at facts.
Then along came exactly what I had been searching for since before I started the kill list. The problem is the fact he’s sort of my opposite in the not so good way. Meaning, I kill people and he catches killers. And I can’t stop. I wish I hadn’t met him so early on in my list.
Now… Now I’m a 5’4 package of vengeance that no one sees coming.
Right now is the shiny happy part that everyone loves. It’s why so many people get married after barely knowing each other. It’s also why they get divorced when they do know each other.”
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once. —Albert Einstein
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. —Albert Einstein
