Title: Chapter 1: Reflections
Congratulations and kudos to you, Arls, for exploring this very complex, rather good looking, and yet, under-used character.
The insights you offer into the inner workings of Kyle's mind are all spot on. I felt I was there with the characters observing, up close, the making of a "budding psychopath". Creepy and yet, fascinating.
You provided the back-story, filled in all of the missing pieces and you did it extremely well. I particularly enjoyed the shave, how desensitized Kyle is to the sight of blood and in general. I loved the bumper sticker, haha. "Kill 'em all and let god sort 'em out."
Another nice touch is his blatant indifference: Rednecks, gang members- it's all the same to him. *evil grin* The mental image of "brain dissected on platter" will forever be ingrained upon my brain. Again, it's sorta creepy but that is, essentially, Kyle.
Ah, and the bitchin' tune at the end. Very nice! I would love to read more so please, continue.
