CHAPTER 6.
CASANOVA screamed, and the loud sound coming from deep inside his throat turned into a raspy howl.
He was crashing through the deep woods, thinking about the girl he had abandoned back there.
The horror of what he had done. Again.
Part of him wanted to go back for the girl save her an act of mercy.
He was experiencing spasms of guilt now, and he began to run faster and faster. His thick neck and chest were covered with perspiration. He felt weak, and his legs were rubbery and undependable.
He was fully conscious of what he had done. He just couldn't stop himself.
Anyway, it was better this way. She had seen his face. It was stupid of him to think she would ever be able to understand him. He had seen the fear and loathing in her eyes.
If only she'd listened when he'd tried to talk to her. After all, he was different from other mass killers he could feel everything he did.
He could feel love ... and suffer loss ... and ... He angrily swept away the death mask. It was all her fault. He would have to change personas now. He needed to stop being Casanova.
He needed to be himself. His pitiful other self.
