I love how some of us actually came from your “The Breather” series. Makes me feel fuzzy 😙.
I loved it, too. How do you think that masked hot bald man feels about a true crime fan though? I read that stuff like… daily, almost. Really interesting stuff.
If we're talking about our Reader from The Breather series, then I would assume he'd find great satisfaction in seeing her search history contain a cache of news articles surrounding his various killings.
Imagine The Breather checking the timestamp on her searches and sitting by his bank of terminals and surveillance monitors to see her reaction to reading about what he gets up to. It's even better if he catches her squirming in her computer chair, getting off to it, looking disturbed but aroused. Then, while she's sleeping or showering, he sneaks in just to recreate whichever murder she was recently reading about... except instead of stabbing her to death with his knife, he uses the one in his pants and leaves her there, covered in jizz and superficial cuts, bleeding and grinning like she's the insane one and not him...
