Chapter One
A descent into Cruelty
I do not expect the reader to believe the tale which follows.
It would be most unreasonable for me to ask anyone to believe what my own senses reject.
Let me assure you that I am not crazy.
Nor am I dreaming.
But tomorrow I die and today I would lighten my soul.
The events in this story may start off as commonplace, normal household events.
But their results over the past few days have terrified me and tortured my very soul.
I cannot explain these events.
Perhaps someday a wiser person than I am will find a reasonable, practical and perfectly natural explanation.
But before I begin this tale of terror, I feel it is necessary to give some background of who I am and how these events came to be.
