Natural As Sorrow

Hicks. Jeff said if you hadn’t have been hitchhiking bare-chested then nothing would have happened. Ressler called that line of reasoning ‘magical thinking.’ The trigger was the family’s absence and having the place to himself. Fantasy, not fate. Jeff bought a hunting knife, opened you up and masturbated into your internal organs. Cut the arm off. Cut each piece off. Dumped the remains into a ravine but kept your head, washed it off, placed it on the bathroom floor and masturbated “and all that.” Smashed your skull with a hammer. Had a drink. Had another.
