Evil Next Door
Marc O'Leary
My first impression of Mark O'Leary was he was extremely intelligent. He was my student for one semester in Introduction to Philosophy. He's probably about six foot one, I would guess, and he was blonde, and he was, I think, early 30s at the time. So his appearance was college student, T-shirts, jeans.

Kind of a reflective journal is what this was, asking students to address something they felt that is repressed. And I usually always say, share as you will. Most people answered things like, oh, I'm shy, or I have certain things in my family history. Mark's essay was more revealing, but not, by saying he wouldn't tell me what it was.
Evil Next Door

I don't believe that a person can fully extinguish their own shadows. Instead, it is best to take 100% responsibility for who we are and to integrate our shadows into our conscious awareness. So the inner shadow is obviously his alter ego. And the essay absolutely reveals the psyche of somebody in our midst who was dangerous. The essay was in his belongings.
