I shouldn’t have done that, I shouldn’t have done that! Why did I do that? Why just why? That’s all that kept going through Kara’s mind. When the first tears fell, she locked herself up in her room. As the sobs racked her body, she tried to push the guilt away, but it wouldn’t leave. Kara had known it wouldn’t end well if she did it, but she lied to herself saying that everything would be fine even though she knew it wouldn’t. And now all she could feel was guilty and extremely sad. Why did I kill him? I know it was partly because I was mad at him, but why? It was a stupid reason to do that to him.

Cause why wouldn’t they find the body, even if …show more content…

But even though she didn’t want his name to pop into her head it kept creeping in. Tom, Tom, Tom… It would repeat itself as if a ghost was saying it in her head as if it were his ghost already coming to haunt her for what she’d done to him. When morning came, she woke up to Tom knocking on her window. What!!!! How is this possible I killed him just yesterday! Wait, what’s today? No, it can’t be, that was yesterday! Tell me I’m just having a nightmare because last I saw him he was dead. Tom was dead!!!!!!! I’m just seeing things.

The envelope was spruced up with blue ink specked with ‘I’s’ dotted with hearts. And on the corner was a tiny lipstick stain that she kissed with the small lips of her. The servant hid it with his thumb, it made me furious. I practically ripped the envelope in half for what I can remember. My anger and pettiness got the hold of me- I read the first line- ‘Dear Tom, you ought to come visit me soon, I’ve been rather lonely in the last few weeks.’- I was absolutely furious. I threw the letter through the window, and off the balcony. I hoped it had floated on the bay and sunk deep down and dissolved like it was written on toilet

    Have you ever wondered what could cause a person to kill another person? How they could do it time and time again and not feel one ounce of regret? Serial killer Joel Rifkin asked himself this same question after he was convicted of killing 17 women. He wondered why he could commit such a violent act, and he decided to have scientist explore his brain to give him the answers that he wanted. Dr. Daniel Amen examined Joel’s brain scans, “When I looked at Joel Rifkin’s scan, I thought to myself, this is a brain that is vulnerable to violence. He had low activity in his prefrontal cortex that most human thoughtful part of the brain” ("Joel Rifkin - Psychopathic Brain").

    A killer is not born. A killer is made. However, we are all born with the potential to kill, and any one of us can be made into a killer.

People tend to believe that serial killers are mentally ill individuals, however, more often than not, they are rational beings who have suffered tremendously.

Serial killers are shaped by isolation from their peers, neglect from loved ones or caregivers, and copious amounts of physical and psychological abuse as children.

Consider all the different types of people on Earth as well as the lifestyles and situations these people are raised up in. As much as it’s desired to think the world is filled with people who carry no such thing as a bad bone in their bodies, that thought process is simple deception.

    Brenna Courtemanche Professor Crombie ENC 1102 4 April 2014 The Mind of Serial Killers There is no specific manual or "how to" book to depict what a serial killer would potentially act or look like.
