At Risk
“Being here, underground, almost in his mother’s womb, usually brought him some measure of peace. Not tonight. Tonight, tonight, his cravings ate at him, gnawing at his vitals, urging him to strike now—to finish the game—while the professor remained within his reach.
The Game Master admired her, even felt some measure of pity for her. He’d played cat-and-mouse with the professor for months, had planned this game for nearly two years, yet he could not deny that destroying her unique personality w...ould be a sacrifice. But now, with the shriek of steel doors slamming shut in his head and salt-sweat oozing from his pores, he could delay no longer. The agony would not end until he tasted her hot blood. This was survival of the fittest, and one of them must die that the other could live.
He’d read that some so-called serial killers wanted to be caught, but that had never been true of him. He was far too intelligent, and he loved life. He had never fit the mold of ordinary humans, and he wasn’t a carbon copy of those sick bastards who killed out of lust or for financial gain.MoreLess
