Ethereal Killer
I was going to type out a nice, long day in the life of my given alter-ego, BFK, but then I started considering the potential consequences of claiming to be a vicious murderer on the internet.
So I decided against it.
Instead, an article from an imaginary newspaper:
“BABY FACED KILLER
At 4am yesterday in McDrummelsby estate, a baby five months of age witnessed the breaking and entering of none other than the infamous Velvet Moss Killer.
The child, whom has been requested to remain anonymous, has been traumatised by the incident, showing no signs of ceasing crying. As the baby is the soul witness of the crime, few details have emerged; the tell-tale broken window and a torn piece of the Velvet Moss Killer’s costume are the police’s main clues. After prolonged searching, the parents, who also wish to remain anonymous, cannot find anything missing from their home, adding another layer of mystery to the case. The police have no leads as to why the serial killer broke into the flat or his current whereabouts.
The father of the baby spoke to us for a few moments. ’It’s extremely upsetting. The thought that a serial killer broke into our home unbeknownst to the wife and I - and that our baby had to face him alone - is mind boggling.
‘He started screaming and crying at around four in the morning, and from then on he’s not stopped. It’s very hard to deal with.
‘He must have stayed very silent while the killer was in his room; I have no doubt that had the killer noticed him awake, things would be much more serious.’
The mother was too upset to speak with us.
A private investigator claims the Velvet Moss Killer broke into the child’s bedroom window at approximately 4am, tearing his velvet cloak on the broken glass and then proceeded to search the baby’s room, as fingerprints were found on a toy box and chest of drawers. Tests have concluded that these fingerprints don’t belong to either of the parents.
