Oh sorry, didn't you know he was a murderer? Sometimes it's good when a chapter title tells you something specific and important is going to happen. A chapter title can be part of the story in this way, the reveal not in the prose but the title. The build up to something you now know is going to happen can be a rush. It's the same anticipation of when a roller coaster ratchets you slowly towards its peak before the inevitable drop. It's the entire concept behind Alton Towers' Oblivion. It's a different kind of thrill, but it's a thrill no less. If you have enjoyed this recording, please support me by getting martian merch at: www.FineArtGeek.redbubble.com.
