Good morning, Brett: I was happy to see that you posted as we are getting deeper into what went on in Drew's mind. I am experiencing eager anticipation of what is going to happen next.

I love it how at first you mentioned that his findings made it seem that Drew Larsen was a normal. You mentioned some of the normal things that he possessed that many boys owned also.

"There was nothing to indicate Drew Larsen possessed a violent nature."

You then, described his check of Drew's computer and this is where it got creepy. I could feel Darden's shock turn to fear upon first finding the information in Drew's computer files about serial killers but especially Otis Jackson. He was the killer that he (Darden) killed. Then he finds his wife and children's photos among that file, also. This was when he really knew that this was about revenge on him
and then he gets the phone call.

What an intriguing story! I am enjoying this story, very interesting and very well written. This part also deserves a six. I have to learn to hold on to a few for you. You are an exceptional writer.

Hey, I re-promoted an old poem that I wrote, called "Still." When you have time go to my portfolio and check it out for me, let me know what you think.

G'day Brett.

I reckon he might have something with the serial killer website and document.

Another very interesting and tense chapter, mate. Eerily suspenseful at the with the phone call.

Well done.

Cheers Fez

    Glad you enjoyed this chapter.

    If it was tense then perhaps I accomplished my goal with it.

    That was the atmosphere I attempted to create with this posting.

OH wow you got my attention totally.
This is quite an addition to the mystery and I seem to be thinking hyptomysm for some reason. No problems noted and very well written

    Wanted to delve some more into Drew's character.

    Perhaps I achieved that goal here.

The story warms to mystery and suspense. The murders take after the ones committed by Otis Jackson, who slaughtered a family. This information was found on Drew's computer.Then something unanticipated pops up, like the detective's first name, which Darden never shared with anyone.

The plot thickens.
One suggestion--simple rearrangement:
He found a document the boy called DARDEN

I think you should follow this up immediately with his reaction.

Maybe... "What the hell," he muttered, then froze.
His picture was included on this site because he was the law enforcement officer who killed Jackson

Plot coming along very nicely. Interesting collection of murders in the file, but still there is something more sinister at work here.

I see trouble coming for Darden and his family

A very well-written chapter. Drew's bedroom is as creepy as the murders he committed. He seems quite disturbed in more than one way. It is going to be interesting to find the root of this disturbed soul.

This is a really intriguing chapter. I could think of no other reason for Drew to have Dardens cases regarding multiple murders than to attract Dardens attention to him. This information has to have been accessed by Drew well before the alleged murders and his family's murder mirrors one of the cases on his computer. The phone call is a mystery because Drew would never get access to a phone. I cannot fault your writing, therefore I can only try to interpret your story. It's a very enjoyable read and flows perfectly. PM
