Sitting in the room you are currently in, there may be the makings of a killer. The teenage shell formulating a killing mind. There is little difference between the mind of a killer and that of an ordinary child growing up. They all have the same thoughts, the same feelings, and the same needs. Even as they grow into adulthood, there is a subtle difference anyone can crossover in either direction at any time. One click of the switch and a new serial killer is born.

To be quite sure that this person would never leave him. He ate parts of his victims because he sincerely believed that this represented keeping that person once it became necessary to dispose of the decomposing remains. This was Killing for company in its rawest sense
