The Ones Midas Touched
Prologue
In part, Nature made Jonathan Fletcher into the monster he is today.
Our environment has a hand in our development, and we are all the sum of our experiences; all of our memories, emotions, even pieces of our personality are dependant on our environment and, by extension, Nature. We all like to think that we've conquered Nature, safe in our homes that protect us from the weather and wild beasts.
We're wrong. All we've done is deny it, delay it. And Nature denied is Nature enraged. This is true on many different levels.
Jonathan Fletcher has denied his true nature for years, and during all of this time, Nature has rattled against its cage. One day, it burst free.
Three people have been killed because of him.
Looking back, I realize now that it was, ultimately, his case that changed everything between Sasha and I.
Have you ever wondered what the inside of a serial killer's mind looks like? I always did back in the academy. Unfortunately, it's a sight that will never leave your mind once you truly take it in. Sometimes, I wish I never saw it at all.
I'm not making sense. Sasha would throw a fit if he heard me right now. Here, let me start over.
My name is Milla Vodello, and this is a personal account of the events leading up to the night of October 31st, 2001.
