Many of the courtly fae are charmed by boldness in mortals, in much the same way that we coo when a kitten bares its teeth.

Well! I have a great deal to recount since I last opened this journal, and I scarcely know how to feel about any of it. Hardly a new sensation since taking up with Wendell.

Wouter van Noort is on page 57 of 126 of Pinkeltje in de Efteling

'O ja,' zei de raaf met zijn krassende stem, 'om antwoord te geven op je eerdere vraag: je bent in de Efteling.'
De Efteling? dacht Pinkeltje. Wat is dat nou weer?

In the doorway, I pause and fix him with a look of warning.
"Do that again and I will kill you," I say.

All those details I'd try to chase away with whatever liquor I could get my hands on. They're back. Every. Single. One.
And I'm drowning in them.

No one knows.
No one but me.
And him.

I can no longer trust her.
And I certainly can't trust him.
I am, I realize, completely on my own.

His head slowly turning. His eyes locked on mine. The smile that had been there only seconds before now completely gone.

I wish I was like him and didn't know anything about what's going on. But it's too late for that. Now I'm afraid I know far too much.

I don't pay attention to the rest because I'm too busy unlocking the door and yanking it open. As soon as I'm outside, I do the only reasonable thing. Run.

So many places to bury unwanted things.
So many places to disappear.
And don't even get me started on the lake.

I now know what I heard. It was a scream.

As I swallow, I'm struck by a thought, One of those insights I usually drink to avoid. Maybe I'm not looking for trouble.
Maybe I am the trouble.

"Enjoying the view?" The sound of another person's voice at this hour, in this place startles me so much I almost drop the binoculars. I manage to keep hold of them as I yank them away from my face and, still rattled, look for the source of the voice.

Once she reaches the house, she turns back to me and waves with her left hand. Only then do I notice something strange.

I should know. I've been watching.

Wouter van Noort is 92% done with Never Flinch (Holly Gibney, #4)

Give people some time to see him. To realize what he's done. Doing. You aren't doing anything. You're Mr. Useless. You're Mr. Flincher.

As if reading her mind, he says, "The poor girl is starting to stink, isn't she? I could even smell it outside." Please let me go, I'm not the one you want.

He gets her under the arms and drags her to the service entrance door. Looks around. Sees no one in the sunstruck back parking lot. Well, maybe the ghost of his father. A joke but not a joke.
"Fuck you, Dad. Not flinching."

It was killing for the sake of killing, and since there is no Murderers Anonymous, there's only one way he can stop. And he will, after finishing the job... or at least as much of it as he can manage.
But the world must know.

He's in luck again, but his luck will run out eventually. He thinks again that part of him wants to be caught. It's probably true. No, certainly true. Give me a little longer, he thinks as he drives away. Just a little.

Daddy: You're crazy. Out of control.
It's true. "But I didn't flinch," he whispers. "No flinching, Daddy."

I'm going to be caught. Not a guess but a stone-cold fact.

When Izzy returns, the bodies have been removed. The smells of shit and puke, however, remain. It was never thus in Shakespeare, Izzy muses, then has to smile. It's such a Holly thought.

That they will get him eventually seems inevitable, but now that he's begun down this path, he'd like to finish before they do. If not all of it, as many as possible. Thirteen innocent and one guilty, he thinks.

What are you doing? he asks himself, and this time it's not Daddy's voice but his own. If thoughts could scream, that's what this one would be doing. You'll never get all of them if you kill on impulse!
Your luck will run out!

Our secret, our secret.
Will he go to hell after killing her, or will God welcome him in with a Well done, thou good and faithful servant? He doesn't know, but he knows it will make an end to his torment.
Our secret.

"You shot me!"
Oh God I'll have to shoot him again. Like the woman and the wino.

Three down, eleven to go. It seems like a mountain to climb. When the atonement is complete and the amends are made, you can rest. So he tells himself.
