Is this the start of an Ahnillomancer trying to get his major charge by destroying someone’s life?
Yet the article ends with a kind of Sterno impact qoute:
‘ “It’s kind of like a death,” Donahoe said. “Your friends and family help you out at first, and are really generous. And then time passes, and there’s still this pain that you feel.”
Watts nodded. These days, he sleeps on a box spring and mattress instead of the bed he handcrafted. His end tables are made of cardboard rather than Douglas fir. He goes to sleep every night wondering, “Why?” ‘
Cardboard and box springs… he has been reduced to having only pathetic stuff, in place of his sentimental stuff.
He did say that he only cared about the sentimental stuff…
Meanwhile, across town, a Sterno is wearing his clothes, setting a glass of brandy on a Douglas Fir end table, and turning out the Tiffany lamp for the night. And he leans back on the handcrafted bed, smiling broadly.
It wasn’t to gain a major charge; it was to use him as a Proxy.
Now, wait until he visits the man’s family at the Christmas reunion.
Oh, boy.
Oooooo….
Now THAT’S evil.
