Status Updates From The Bloody Rose

“You think about all those awful creeps out there. . .hurting people. Getting away with it. And this person, they just. . .hurt them right back.”

“Did you just fucking kill him?”

“Well—not yet. But probably in the next few minutes.”

“Anger festered just beneath the surface. Like a fire waiting for the chance to spread. But there was another emotion just underneath it, vying for position. It was difficult to name. But in that moment, just as she stepped toward her car and fumbled for the keys, she realized what it was. Admiration.”

“Each killing offered another chance to reveal some measure of herself to the world. The darker facets of her soul found fulfillment each time she turned her madness into gruesome art.”

“Whatever else would happen tonight, no matter how bloody and awful it might be, she couldn’t escape the sensation that she was about to learn the truth. A truth she probably didn’t want to know.” 🍎 🥀

This speaks to everything I like. Specifically, black humor, vigilante justice, and the 90s.

“Ordinary always tasted cheap to Apple Rose, like a dress that didn’t fit or heels that left blisters on her feet.”

Ahhhhh I love Miss Apple Rose so much. Hooked immediately.
