I've always loved Japanese legend, anime and manga.

In this world, not everything will be won by justice. If you want to win, you have to learn how to cheat. (Nana)

I'll make you so in love with me, that everytime our lips touch, you'll die a little death.

It doesn't escape him that the rock holding it up is the perfect fit for his fist. Or how easily one of those needle spokes would slide right through the girl's eye like Jell-O.

She would disappear
folded like origami
into her own dreams

I did a lot of research on real serial killers, and they're not Hannibal Lecters. They're cruel men who are given the opportunity to do something terrible, and a lot of the time it's about impotence. They feel powerless in the real world.
