I think I get along pretty well with old folks, I think of Pixar's UP, that melody that tugs at my tear ducts and I think of my grandma and the people I cared for during my 12 months as a volunteer at a care facility for the elderly whilst at college and I think - Well, heck yeah I could get Maud to like me. But I prefer breathing, and living way more. So, sorry Maud but I can't even try to get you to like me because my sense of self-preservation and survival skills coupled with your elderly methodical bloodlust are not bound to meet in the middle. Like ever.
On the surface, one would think she just up and decided to start dropping bodies, but I think she started killing in her early 40s. There is no evidence, and only a hunch but I know a dissociative episode when I see one and that looked like a blitz kill in an dissociative episode. But beyond that, this is not your run of the mill serial killer. She is prolific in her old age and ....here I shudder, methodical and successful at diverting suspicion. Let's face it, all her victims were vile opportunists: Jasmine sucked big time and Zazza was all kinds of garbage, oh and that dude - I was beginning to think she hated women until he came along.
Is it weird that I was worried the authorities would catch onto her trail? Feels like I should feel conflicted about that. I like you Maud, the same way I like a tiger roaming in the jungle at a safe enough distance for me to appreciate.
