Vulgar's Alternate Ending With Misgivings
Norris' lips curled up into a tight smile as he led her towards the vehicle. "Yes, Juvenile, though it's to be expected, considering you're a dyke, and lack experience with men. Vulgar is our natural state." As to her question of whether it had turned him on, the rapist left that unanswered, aware of the conflict between any denial, and the erection he sported. Though that was mostly a product of his anticipation of the night's events, Pete wasn't about to provide Ms Helm with ammunition to call him a liar; that concern forgotten when his mind was distracted by rare misgivings.

He'd taken his previous victims in isolated areas, the first snatched off the side of the road, the second, followed down a dark, empty alley, and Whitney, alone in her own house, and the current plan caused Pete's skin to crawl with nervous tension. To hunt for prey in a crowded club was a different situation entirely, and he debated whether he should have issued Analise this particular challenge. Whilst arrogance and confidence left him in no doubt that he'd be able to recognise the moment she began to prove herself incapable, and allow him to withdraw before it was too late, what would that mean for their partnership?

A living witness to his crimes was what he'd craved since he'd first begun to browse the dark-web, enhanced, and brought to possible reality by their meeting. A brief thought to locate an easier target had crossed his mind, however, he'd dismissed it, and decided this evening it was to be all or nothing. If Analise displayed the figurative balls to lure a victim in full view of a crowd to her certain and painful death, without hesitation and drawing unwanted attention, then she'd surely be capable of all else, and he could put further concerns to rest. One night, one chance to fully prove herself. Or

    In M, the audience gets a clear sense of how difficult it might have been to capture a predator such as Beckert in 1930’s. Today’s law enforcement is much more equipped to identify and track possible predators; however, this was not the case in M. The police at one point had been investigating the murders for over eight months with no success in getting closer to catching the murderer. Progress was not made until police continuously raided local establishments and disrupted criminal activity. The bosses of the criminal underworld banded together to assist in catching Beckert…

    Humans crave a mystery. We are curious beings and gravitate toward the unknown. Patterson uses this psychological fact to his advantage. The criminals that star in his New York Time’s Bestsellers are often vaguely portrayed, to the point where their identities remain unknown to the reader. This caricature description keeps the reader thinking. It is like being given a wrapped gift: One can see the shape of the present but not the physical contents. This…

    Wolfe (1947) begins his argument by explaining a brief story and background description on how the Black Dahlia nude and bisected body was discovered in the weeds of a vacant lot. He described information on how her body ended up in weeds, reasonable information; to appeal the reader’s to read further more about what happened to her and who did this. The information that was giving will draw the reader and makes the reader feel convincing about the Black Dahlia murder. This appeal is a type of emotion that interacts because it feeds into a reader’s interest, keeping them attracted as they read. However, this appeal, to pathos does not make Wolfe’s argument any more reliable, just because the readers read about her ended up lying in weeds does not make a clear statement of who did this and why.…

    Kaz Brekker: A Short Story

    • 1039 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Kaz Brekker didn’t need a reason. Those were the words whispered on the streets of Ketterdam, in the taverns and coffeehouses, in the dark and bleeding alleys of the pleasure district known as the Barrel. The boy they called Dirtyhands didn’t need a reason any more than he needed permission—to break a leg, sever an alliance, or change a man’s fortunes with the turn of a card. Of course they were wrong, Inej considered as she crossed the bridge over the black waters of the Beurscanal to the deserted main square that fronted the Exchange. Every act of violence was deliberate, and every favor came with enough strings attached to stage a puppet show. Kaz always had his reasons. Inej could just never be sure they were good ones. Especially tonight.…

In an attempt to rid the streets of teenagers like Alex, they select him – being the worst of them all – to become their spokesman of sorts. The doctors…

    Her scream pierced through the air, as I plunged the knife into her clothed stomach. I quickly shrugged off the eerie feeling of being watched as I stared down at my latest victim, the apple she was eating moments earlier laid on the ground, just as unmoving as she was. She deserved it, I thought to myself. The guilt I once felt while ending lives was long gone by now, masked by the sadist in me.…

    Faintly, I hear footsteps awaken from nowhere. Now my heart is racing, as if it’s about to jump out from my skin. As I look towards the door, the footsteps come to a halt. A shadow emerges from the darkness, and the door creaks open. The ground pounds as the steel cap boots from the black clothed detective hit the floor. He has a cold blooded voice that sends a shiver running down my spine. He begins the meeting with ‘why’. ‘Why did you even think you could have the slightest chance of getting away with it’? Many thoughts flash through my mind as the question ‘why’ is brought up.…

    MY FIRST VICTIM WAS A WOMAN-white, well dressed, probably in her early twenties. I came upon her late one evening on a deserted street in Hyde Park, a relatively affluent neigh-borhood in an otherwise mean, impoverished section of Chicago. As I swung onto the avenue behind her, there seemed to be a discreet, uninflammatory distance between us. Not so.…

    Early hours this morning, London detectives were called out to the horrific scene of a murder. A maid servant who witnessed the whole event from her bedroom window stated “I went upstairs to bed and I looked out of the window, the lane was brilliantly lit by the full moon. Never had I felt more at peace with all men or thought more kindly of the world.” The victim was seen walking up the lane not far from the River Thames. He was described by the maid as “an aged and beautiful gentleman with white hair”. Advancing to meet him was another man, in his hand he held a heavy cane, the maid recognised him as Mr. Hyde. When the two men met, the older man bowed and spoke to Mr. Hyde in “with a very pretty manner of politeness” reported the maid, “and then all of a sudden Mr. Hyde broke out in a great flame of anger, stamping with his foot brandishing the cane and carrying on like a madman.” The victim stepped back and Mr. Hyde then clubbed him to ground, trampled his victim under foot and hailed down a storm of blows. “I could hear his bones shatter and when his body jumped on the roadway I fainted” recalled the witness. When she awakened it was around 2am and she called for the police.…

Actually he looks the very opposite of that. He seems so in love and so happy, so much so that everyone around him believes in his sweet and innocent looks.…

    The author tries to go deeper into dark, psychological side of American Goth, going away from its basic ideas like haunted houses, castles, deaths, ailments (diseases), madness, curse, etc. The end of the novel is startling, giving a reader quite a criminal case sample, where the guilty got away with the crime. The question “Is it possible to commit a crime with no consequences?” lingers in the air. According to the author apparently yes. In his times. It is doubtful that an incident like that could happen in present times, however we still have shocking stories in the news…

    There was something unsettling about this crime. It was too… unnecessary. Too extravagant. Mere anger, mere hate, was not the cause of the destructive violence that had caused the scene before her. There was no reason for covering the room with gore and disgust. Unless they wanted to hide something….…
