“ ─ no beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. But I know none, and therefore... am no beast.” ─ Richard III, Act One ♱ Yuma. Twenty-one ; ; F-List Salutations. I am Yuma. Welcome to my request thread. I'll spare you the self-summary and move on to what I'm looking for:
In turn, I offer:
Whilst sexual themes are by no means a requirement in my writing, my favorite themes can be summarized as the following:
More specific entries can be found on my F-List, linked above. Also, since I know it is a deal breaker for some, I am a female writer who will be assuming a male role for this prompt. ─────── ❅ ─────── On to the plot. "It is clear to me that God enjoys killing. He does it all the time, and are we not made in God's image? Typhoid and swans - it all comes from the same place." For this story, which is blatantly inspired by Thomas Harris' Silence of The Lambs, I will be assuming the role of a male, optionally cannibalistic serial killer. Having spent the past few years locked away within a high security hospital, the former psychiatrist is quiet and closed off, and entertains his doctors only for the purposes of petty mind games and torment. He is sharp and analytical, and knows exactly how to pry his way into someone's head. ─────── ❅ ─────── Your character, a female forensic psychologist in-training, is presented with an opportunity to join an operation committed to capturing a serial killer at large, nicknamed Casanova. Part of this assignment boasts the opportunity for a face-to-face interview with my character, with the ultimate purpose of weaning the incarcerated doctor into providing a psychological profile on Casanova. Your character accepts the offer on the basis that she might be able to learn a thing or two from the former psychiatrist, no matter how mad he may be, and ultimately be taught the methods by which she will catch this killer. Stemming from their initial encounter, their story evolves into something grim and twisted as he begins to relish in the young woman's company. Though he may brush her off at first, he soon finds entertainment in assisting her in her efforts to catch Casanova, and provides many lectures on the ins and outs of a killer's mind. His lessons are composed of riddles, poetry, and games; all of which cause the trainee to return to him, again and again. As well as the imprisoned killer, I will also ambiently write as Casanova and any other characters who pass by. If you're at all interested in this, throw a PM my way and we can dive right into discussions. |
