I turn off the yellow lights so the bathroom is only red. The sound of the cheap projector spinning, humming quietly, endlessly. I close the door and I lock it and then close the door and I lock it and then I stand under the water. The drugs round the corners of the shower slightly and I'm able to stick my hand through the tile if I want but only if I want. I will always look for a crack in the wall through which to feel it. To touch it. To put it in my mouth and my mouth on it. It's easier when it is dark and when it is cold or when it is suffocatingly hot but always when I'm alone. It does not come to me where other people can see it, unless I take the drugs, at which point no one can see me though I can see all of them. I want to stare at the sun for a while, but not nakedly. Instead I hang up quilt over quilt and watch it try to get through. I want to take more drugs because I want to get high because I want to see it and wrap myself up in it. Maybe I should do drugs before I do interviews. I make all my music high out of my mind, it seems silly to talk about it later while sober. Do I even know what I'm talking about when I'm sober? I'm recounting a memory of an experience I had with God, now with God having left the room. I don't have to explain to you what I'm talking about it, you already know. I don't care who you are, you know. You've been alone at least once in your life so you know. I blacked out every window of my bedroom in the attic in Pennsylvania and I rocked back and forth on my bed with the drugs and I cried asking for it to come to me. I want it all the time. I am so angry that it will let me near but it won't let me stay. It's so cruel. It laughs at me when I realize we are not the same. I'm going to take more drugs and get in the shower and put my hand through the tile. I know you can hear me. It's happening to everybody.

they shouldโve done the party after lukeโs death in the show aswell, watching Aemonds character sit while everyone celebrates and heโs just alone realising what heโs done.
Iโm so disappointed with Aemondโs storyline this season. Itโs been so rushed and none of itโs really made sense when you compare it toย season one (which was only ten days ago in episode one of s2!)
The first thing we should have seen is Aemond telling Alicent about accidentally killing Luke. Her being the only one that he admits to that it was a mistake and he regrets it, but Alicent is naturally horrified and rejects him, causing him to start to close himself off. He tells everyone else it was on purpose, putting on a front.
Then B&C happens. He finds the coin in his room but he keeps it to himself that he was the original intended target, because heโs afraid of being rejected even more by his family, who are already pissed about Luke. He goes to Helaena and attempts to apologise for Jaehaerys, but Helaena is too lost in grief to hear him out, making Aemond close off even more and become more stressed as the guilt builds up.
Rookโs Rest happens, and instead of purposefully trying to kill Aegon, Aemond is fully trying to take out Rhaenys and Meleys alone, thinking that if he kills them, it would help redeem him somewhat with his family. Only itโs bittersweet because while he did succeed in getting rid of Rhaenys and Meleys, he also accidentally gravely injured his brother and Sunfyre (like in the book). Now heโs fucked up again, and heโs spiralling. His mask becomes outwardly colder, but inside heโs a mess.ย
Heโs Prince Regent now, but the guilt inside from his mistakes piling up is making him act out harshly as ruler in order to try and regain control, but it just makes things worse and the smallfolk riot against him, which his mother and sister get caught up in. Heโs messed up again, and caused his family members to be traumatised once more because of his actions.
He finally decides to take Harrenhal, like Aegon originally wanted. He hopes this will finally be a win for him and Team Green, and earn back his familyโs love and trust. Only this turns out AGAIN to be a failure. He captures Harrenhal, but Kingโs Landing falls without him and Vhagar there. His mother and sister are now prisoners of the enemy, his grandfather and uncle are executed, and his brother and niece have disappeared.
After an entire season of build up, where we see the stress and guilt and pressure build within him, he finally snaps. He executes all the men and boys of House Strong, and fully becomes book!Aemond.ย
Iโm not saying any of this would be perfect or even good. I just think something like this would have given us moreย characterisation, better screentime, and his descent into โvillainyโ would have felt more earned than what we got. And we wouldnโt have to rely on the actors to tell us whatโs going on half the time, because the writers didnโt bother to show us on screen.ย
(Thanks for listening, feel free to ignore. I just needed to shout into the void.)
Oh my lovely anon this is so good!!! I donโt even need to add anything, this is what we deserved to see!!!!!!

โWant to see something gross?โย is spelled out across in blue biro on a post-it note, the bright yellow clings to your computer screen. You look up at Jed whose eyebrow is raised at you. Eyebrows furrowing in return. You watch him spin giddily in his chair, black converse tapping against the floor. You fight the urge to smirk, lips pursing at his actions. Pretending to think about it.ย
You shrug and nod. โCome on thenโ, Jed rises, stepping over to your desk and grabbing your hand. He pulls you over to the dark room and now you're seriously confused.ย
You step inside, cloaked in red, he pulls the light switch, squinting as your eyes adjust to the harsh light, you wait in anticipation. Jed smiles down at you and points to the photos hanging over on the wall. You look over. The photos are in black and white so itโs hard to make out what's actually going on. Black spills over the floor. Police are standing over something. It's blackened on the paper and you look up at him. โWhat is it?โย
โLook closerโ He pushes your back until your nose nearly hits the page, the smell of chemicals still on the page. You strain your head back. Eyes focusing on the photoโs.
ย And then you gasp. Your body tenses. It's a dead body. Blood spilling out like ink spilled over the paper, it's hard to see in the alley way, but the way Jed has shot the photos you can make up the paleing eyes of the victim โJesus, Jed! Why were you there?โ your eyes search the pictures in front of you.
He folds his arms over his chest,โAdam was all uneasy with reporting the murders so Mike asked if I wanted to stop writing fluff pieces and start on real crimeโ he pauses ,โThey think it's him, the killerโย
โWhy?โ,you shake your head, and then look at another photo, a detective stands at a wall, gloved hand pressing into the bricks, he looks pained, as if he knew the guy.
โWell, the same weapon was usedโ he mutters, leaning against the wall,โthe coroners say the weapon was a knife about inch wide and seven inches long, matches the same stab wounds as the Small brothersโ
You sigh, looking at Jed he fiddles with the buttons of his shirt a bit, you take in his outfit. Black Dickies, white shirt, you wonder what he wears when he's home. โDo you think he did this? In an investigative journalist way?โ
โNoโย
โHuh, why?โ your eyebrows raise.
โI'm not sure, I mean first he attacked two guys right outside their house, that seems planned out. But this? wellโ.You watch as Jed thinks, his hand stroking his chin as his head turns. Your back brushes the cold wall. โI think the killer plans his shit out, he's smart. Why risk getting caught killing some kid in an alleyway? And it is florida, it's probably some gang crimeโย
You nod, scraping your shoes against the floor. โSo the cafe piece is your last normal, happy article huh?โ you smile.ย
He grins in return, โoh yeah, time to write about some horrid decrepit loner killer that probably jerks it to porn in his mom's basementโ
โOh! I don't know, maybe he has his own basementโ
ANOTHER FOUND DEAD

See page four for more detailsย
On the late hours of Friday the 11th. The body of twenty-two year old Jack Stevens was found by a passer by. Jack had been out on run that night, his girlfriend Stella had reported his running route would take him past the same alleyway he was found in. Stella voiced concern about him not coming back that night with a friend over the phone, and was later confirmed to be correct when the police had arrived at her house, โHe was always so quiet, he kept to himself, it was just him, the dog and I most nights, unless we played a board game round my mums, it wasn't like him to just run out and not say anything, so when he didn't come back after an hour i knew something was wrongโย
Police have reported the same weapon was used on this victim as the Small brothers, is the work of a serial killer at large? Or are crime rates really increasing in this little town ?ย
If you have any information please contact Detective Moore at the RPD +(000) 000 000
Jackโs funeral will be held at Jameson and Jones funeral home at 11am on sunday, any friends and family will be welcome to join.ย
โDo you wanna come for drinks on wednesday?โ Jedโs leaning over your computer. You're trying to get the brightness right on a photo of girl scouts that raised money for a memorial bench for the Small brothers. The deaths had really affected the small town and the boy scouts had shut down after only a couple of weeks when no one wanted to take over. Now the group had formed into a disjointed version where baking and making crossbows happened in the same hall, inches apart from each other.
โWho's going?โ you look around the office.
โWell, Me and a couple of my friends, then Mike said he'd stop by for a beer, and Linda said she has book club at 8 so sheโll stop by for a glass of wine, and then maybe you?โ he grins.ย
โYeah okay! Straight after work?โย
He nods. โGreat!โ
You get home early that night after taking some photos of a new monument set up in the local park for some random pioneer. Your apartment is a mess, you quickly boil some pasta and shove all your clothes into a basket to take down to the laundry room. You change your sheets while you're at it. Then pour some tomato and cheese sauce over the pasta that's been drained off all water.ย
You eat quickly, grabbing your keys and a book then cradle the laundry basket to your hip and walk down to the basement floor. The stairs are a pain in the ass when youโre on the fifth floor, but you know it's the reason your rent is so cheap, every other place with an elevator is expensive due to costs.ย
The washing machine beats into the wall, you've got about 30 minutes left on the wash cycle and then you can put it in the dryer for twenty. Usually you'd come back up to your apartment, but it had felt like someone was watching you recently, even with your blinds shut, it had felt like someone was so close to you. You could almost feel their breath against your neck. It had only started a couple of weeks ago, the feeling of being watched, and now the murders had started it felt like there was danger so close by. Especially after your little visiter. You wonder if he was stopping by to keep an eye on you or if he was too busy with the murders.
Danny Johnson sits in his black truck, hands beating against the steering wheel as the music thumps through the speakers. Sally Hughes takes a great big bite of a burger and then wipes off the ketchup that has spilled over her son's arm. Danny watches as her perfect blonde hair bounces as she laughs. He takes a big swig of his milkshake and shovels fries into his mouth, he chews quickly. Itโs like watching something out of a sitcom, the window in the diner is his own personal TV screen.
โAnd then this alien comes out of nowhere with this claw ! And rips this girl into bloody bits! And yeah it's stolen from Alien or whatever, but the blood Jed! The Blood wasn't clear or milky and sweet like most B movies, it looked so real. Like it was a deep red and clung to the actors.โ Piper chews her burger before carrying on, shes perched against the door and the seat, forcingย her self into the nook of the car so she can get a better look at Jedย โI know you hate that shit and prefer like grotty serial killer, gialloโs or whatever but you have to see it, its like a fucking snuff film, you know? Filmed on a camcorder and CCTV footage.โย
Piper was sort of a plain looking girl, the only discernible quality she had was the long blonde hair that fell to her waist, she was twenty three years old and worked at the arthouse cinema about thirty minutes away. They had met at a showing ofย the red shoesย , it wasn't exactly Danny's kind of movie, but he had wanted to check out the area anyway. The discussion of movies had ended in him walking her home, then they would meet every week for a coffee and a mid-day movie where she worked. He had thought, what's a friend in all this? Might as well get an alibi right? But then she had pulled him in for a kiss outside a book store on main and Danny wasn't looking for anything relationship wise, he much rather save his energy for murder and stalking, not sex. Danny had felt nothing. It was like paper against paper. But a girlfriend was normal. A girlfriend meant the guys at the Gazette would stop asking if he wanted to take their daughters out.ย
Danny had soon realised his mistake when he saw you, glossy eyes, someone who wasn't going to chat his ear off about shitty horror movies. Someone interesting. Someone who could love Danny for himself. He hadn't exactly thought about murdering Piper, unless he wanted to get caught, but sometimes after laying beside her soft snoring body he had thought about faking her suicide, something that wouldn't hurt her. As much as he didn't care, breaking up would be far easier.
โJed? Are you listening?โ Piper slurps up her cherry coke, fiddling with her rings โyou keep looking over at that kid, are you okay?โ Piper mutters, voice hinting at concern, her hand reaches out to his arm.ย
โI just thought he was bleeding, but he spilt ketchup down his armโ Jed shrugs, he smiles back at her and then looks at the time.Ten pm, it's not like she had a curfew or anything but Jed had special plans, he had to pop by his little pets home for a quick check up, and then, if Sally was an all clear. He would rip her to shreds on his knife. โI gotta write some stuff up at the office, is it okay if I drop you back?โย
โYeah, of courseโ Piper smiles, she collects the garbage from the truck and shovels it into a paper bag. โI'll just pop this in the bin.โย
Jed watches Piper shuffle out the truck, her red hair swaying in the light breeze as she approaches the fry shaped bin, his head turns. Dark eyeโs settle on Sally Hughes as she zips up her pink crushed velvet tracksuit, she takes little Joe's hands on her own and wipes them with a wet wipe. She swings her camel purse over her shoulder as she holds Joeโs tiny hand. Pulling him out of the fast food joint and into her white car.ย
He watches you through the window, sliding the plastic washing basket on the floor and slumping into the couch. Your hair falls down the side as your leg lifts onto the back, then your other leg. He can tell you're bored. Your phone rings and your head shrugs to the side to the noise, you never really got phone calls. Unless it was important.ย
You lift yourself off the sofa and trudge over to the phone. Taking the receiver off the wall, your finger loops round the thick coils. โHello?โ you mutter. Danny can just make out your expression on your face. He doesn't speak as he holds the phone to his ear.ย
You look confused. You roll your eyes at the obvious silence. And slam the phone back onto the wall, pulling a cupboard door open and slinking out a bottle of whiskey. It's the same one he saw laying on the floor that night. You pour some in a glass and knock it back. He calls again, watching your angry stomps to the phone, you pull it up to your ear. โHello?โ you sigh and cradle your face. โJesus christ, justย fuckingย say somethingโ your voice spills out over the phone in a hard hush.ย
โWatch yourselfโ Danny mutters, He hangs up and watches you cradle the receiver against your ear. You look down and then towards the bathroom. The phone falls as you shuffle your feet towards the door, it swings angrily into the wall. You come back into the lounge, knife in hand. A hunting knife, your dads old one. Buck 110, 3.75 stainless steel blade, with a wooden handle, lockback locking mechanism. He had already felt the weight of the knife in his hand, smaller than the one he used himself. Lighter too, he had stood in your bathroom, mask off in front of your mirror and traced his neck with the blade, wondering if you'd ever have the guts to slice his own throat when he would inevitably break in for a quick catch up.ย
You pull the blade out and look down at the sharp edge. Walking over to the phone to hang it back up. You pull your jeans down, sliding them over your thighs in a quick recession. Standing over close to the window and then tracing over your thighs with the knife. Danny wishes he had brought his camera. You look out the window. Eyebrows furrowing. Your eyes are searching for something. Him. But Danny slinks into the shadows. His white mask encased in darkness. He pulls out his notepad and writes down something quickly.ย
Lips pursing as you shrug your shirt off over your head. You raise an eyebrow and then trace the knife up your arms. Then down your chest. You sigh. Rolling your eyes until you hold the knife against your throat. Gripping tightly. He watches your hands pale around the knife's handle and you push into your throat he sees a dribble of blood fall onto your collarbone. He waits. Your eyes tear up and the knife clatters to the ground.ย
You look towards the phone on your wall. Shaking your head and grabbing your clothes from the floor. You walk into your bedroom. Danny standโs slowly. Clawing at the outside of your window to lift it up. He slides in carefully. Moving with ease against the creaky wooden floor. He picks the knife up from the ground, and pierces the blade through the note, watching blood seep into the picture, He hears your shuffles through your hallway. Taking a quick exit, he watches you from the window standing just in plain sight. You lift the note from the floor. He watches your chest move up and down quickly. Your mouth twitching at the sides as he watches you unfold the letter and close the buck with one hand. Blue ink is smudged across the letter.ย
