rumbles head walk creature dirt visit criminal mind know thinking exist writer
the writer didn't want to know the sorts of things his visit with the criminal had unfortunately put into his head, but there they were. the thoughts that exist in the mind of that...creature, who until recently, was allowed to walk among them left him thinking there was no hope for humanity at all. in the aftermath of their interview, he was surprised to find his generally well-ordered ideas all seemed to be aligned against each other like gangs conducting rumbles in the dirt of their childhood playgrounds, caught up in the chaos of having to consider they may not be as forthright as he had previously felt assured. as if his long held convictions were warring over the assumption of their own sanity in the face of derangement - that the lunacy he had just engaged with might just have a point that people with less confidence in themselves would easily believe and accept. he shook his head to clear it, and stood briefly in the late afternoon sun to take a deep breath of air in, before releasing it slowly. he shook his head again as he stepped towards his car, and did his best to compose himself for the drive back to his office, where he would have to formulate a way to present his findings that didn't humanize the criminal or his sick ideas so much that he unintentionally promoted them.

I do so love to hear from you - please let me know that you came to visit!
it has come to my attention that some people are having trouble commenting, and from what I could find, it seems blogger uses third-party cookies, and if users have them disabled, they cannot comment while logged into a google account. further, browser extensions like ad blockers or heightened privacy settings like tracking protections can block the comment form. I checked my settings, and the blog allows all comments, including anonymous ones, so...just know that I appreciate your visit even if you can't tell me you were here.
