That Damned Neighbor
That Damned Neighbor by: Dennis R. Humphreys My wife and I had been married for twenty one years. Mandy and I had our rough times but generally they were good. I think we reflected the situation of a lot of couples. No relationship is perfect. Most of the problems a couple have come from outside anyway. They're usually financial. It's never the big things that destroy a marriage because it's the big things that cause major blowouts which are done, gotten out of the system in some passionate display and you move on. You've released all the pressure by opening the steam valve fully. It's the little things that destroy a marriage or person because you push it to the back of your mind in an on going process thinking it's not worth fighting about and it's too small a problem to worry about. The problem is when you do it time and time again constantly, every day for years the pressure builds unnoticed until one day somebody blows and every little detail of what you find wrong about the other person comes out. You say and do things that aren't forgettable and that destroys a relationship. This isn't just about marriages but about every relationship there is within humanity.

Predominantly serial killers work alone, but every once in a while they cross paths and become a crime team. The Lainz Angels of Death is an extraordinary case in the fact that there were four of them. Maria Gruber, Irene Leidolf, Stephanija Meyer, and Waltraud Wagner were nurse aides at the Lainz General Hospital in Austria, who systematically murdered scores of patients between 1983 and 1989.

The Silence Of The Lambs Is 30 Years Old, And The Pull Of Serial Killers In Fiction Is Stronger Than Ever
30 years have passed since The Silence of the Lambs (1991) was released, and goosebumps still reign in the wake of the psychological thriller. Eerie lines that conjure up images of Hannibal Lecter drinking red wine while devouring human organs, Buffalo Bill’s iconic locker room scene with a remarkable rib tattoo that has become a cult image, and the tension of the unforgettable shooting sequence in which Jodie Foster unwittingly enters the Belly of the beast.

When it Thaws
Fresh brewing coffee filled my senses as I awoke from a dead slumber on the couch. "Alan, you want some coffee?" Randy asked while shoving a cup at me before I could even answer. Randy made his way back to the kitchen with the phone on his shoulder, head tilted, shouting "what do you mean that's all you can do for me at this time? Yea, let me speak to your supervisor's supervisor...then have them call me back!" he slammed the phone down cursing and running his fingers through his greasy long hair. I was afraid to ask, but I knew I had to. I'm his live-in best friend and right now all he has. "Randy, what's going on?" "The police department says they're closing the missing persons investigation and it'll remain an active report. They say they have no evidence that Melissa was taken or hurt, they're just going on she left me." He began to tear up and his voice was straining to finish the sentence. "Alan, I don't know what to do." he added. I casually replied "I don't know bro" while gulping my scouring black coffee that Randy has no business making. I did not want to suffer through another sob fest right now before my big fake interview, especially because of this fantastic news that had me fighting to conceal a sigh of relief. So, I walked out of the room while saying aloud "big day for me, we'll talk later man and don't sulk over this okay. It'll all be fine." I knew better. It was definitely not fine and I was running out of time. Randy doesn't know that I've already landed the job last week and today was my first day of work. I need to get this kitchen job done so I have enough money and can escape. Randy cannot know that I have money yet, or he will ask me for rent. I grabbed my work clothes in a separate bag so to fool my best friend while wearing my interview clothes and headed out the door.
