“On the surface however people with psychopathic personalities can and do easily come across as friendly and agreeable - they get along with other "kids" at work or play. It is only beneath the surface, well hidden from view, that darker tendencies lie.”

“One day soon, you’ll hear a car pull up to your curb, an engine cut out. You’ll hear footsteps coming up your front walk. Like they did for Edward Wayne Edwards, twenty-nine years after he killed Timothy Hack and Kelly Drew, in Sullivan, Wisconsin. Like they did for Kenneth Lee Hicks, thirty years after he killed Lori Billingsley, in Aloha, Oregon.

The doorbell rings.

No side gates are left open. You’re long past leaping over a fence. Take one of your hyper, gulping breaths. Clench your teeth. Inch timidly toward the insistent bell.

This is how it ends for you.

“You’ll be silent forever, and I’ll be gone in the dark,” you threatened a victim once.

Open the door. Show us your face.

Walk into the light.”
― Michelle McNamara, I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer

“No matter what his father did to him, he never deprived his child from eating, during dinner, he had hidden a knife behind him, turned to his father who still had been stuffing his face with meat.
He still remembered the feeling when he stuck the knife with full force into his father’s neck, despite the butter knife being blunt and rough it did the job just right”
― Jules Rae, Blind Murder

“If you can't save the life of innocent people at least don't kill their lives like a psychopath”
