Bottom-Right Quadrant Narrative

Improved Essays
I'm sitting on a park bench in the darkness of night on a warm summer day, staring through a few trees, staring into a one way street roughly a hundred feet away, staring at the SUV parked and pointing to my left, staring at the woman sitting in the drivers seat and the man leaning up against the passenger seat on her side of the car smoking a cigarette. Imagine a plus sign, imagine four quadrants, the bottom-left and bottom-right is the park, I'm sitting in the bottom-left quadrant though close to the bottom-right. The top right quadrant represents the playground, the top left represents the one way street, the street representing a backwards L. Imagine the center of the plus sign as the direct middle, the SUV is close to this …show more content…
I want to kill these two, I want to kill them badly. I don't know them, I've never seen then before, but I still want to kill them. I'm thinking about the weapons in the backpack I'm wearing, I have a few knives, a small axe and some black leather gloves; but as I'm thinking about killing them something takes over me, and that's logic. Why aren't I wearing the gloves now? My hands are all over this park bench, if I kill them, the police are sure to dust for fingerprints here. Also, why do I have several weapons in my backpack? I only need one to kill them, but for some reason when I went out that night I decided to take several weapons. Plus these knives aren't even that sharp, can I really kill someone with these knives? I should have acquired a knife that I know will kill someone. The only weapon suitable for killing that I have on me is the axe. I'm also wearing a t-shirt, hence there's no way I can hide any of these weapons if I were to approach them benignly. I'd have to sneak up on them from the playground, but that would be more difficult, because if the woman in the drivers seat looks in any of the mirrors she'll see that suspicious behavior. Also how do I kill the woman? She may have locked the door and even if I incapacitate the guy it would be difficult to incapacitate her in a car. I think of how I can approach them benignly. I should have brought a cellphone, I could pretend to talk on the phone, ask the guy for …show more content…
Now that I think about it, this place is way too close to where I live, I should have went somewhere else, now I'm looking at the windows on those houses, what if someone is looking through those windows? What if there's someone in the park that I don't see? Yes, I want to kill, but I don't want to get caught. Why is my logic taking over now as I'm about to kill? Why didn't I come up with a logical plan beforehand? I know why, it's because I was full of rage and hatred and only now, as the time comes to kill does my logic take over. In my rage and my hatred I went out this night seeking to kill, that's all I wanted to do, I didn't care for a plan, I just wanted to kill. But now in logic it's not worth attempting to kill these people here because there's no plan and I don't want to get

    Serial Killer Crimes

    Each killer has their own unique motives for killing and one of the hardest things to do is to determine the why the killer committed the crime. Television shows such as Criminal Minds make the job look easy. On the show it may only take the actors hours to look at the evidence, determine the behavior of the suspect, and develop a list of suspects, however, in real life, this process may take days, months, or even years to determine. Sadly, this means that the killer has more time to carry out the crimes and, in the worst scenarios, is never caught. The problem is determining whether or not the suspect is killing to fulfill their fantasies or they have a serious illness.…

Bodies that I and other on my side have killed line the streets, but the amount of death is not what gets to me.

    “A surge in killings has moved Hamilton up to the fifth highest murder rated metropolitan area in Canada as of 2013” (The Hamilton Spectator 2014). According to Statistics Canada, there were 15 homicides in Hamilton that year (Statistics Canada 2013). One of the 15 murders in the Hamilton area was that of an Ancaster man by the name of Tim Bosma. Mr. Bosma was murdered on May 6th, 2013 during a test drive of his truck by Dellen Millard and Mark Smich after his truck was offered for sale on Kijiji. Many biological, psychological and sociological theories of crime could be applied to explain the desire to commit murder but in this case, Social Learning Theory and Rational Choice Theory offer the best rationalization (O’Grady 2014, 81-83, 99).…
