Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Jeremy wakes up tired. He did not sleep well after the events of the night before, unnerved from his impulsive decisions. When he turns on the TV, he sees a news special about Tara. She’s alive and was able to give some information to the police. Jeremy is enraged at his own mistake but begins making a contingency plan. He knows that the police will come for him soon. He goes down to the basement and memorizes how it looks. He changes a flickering lightbulb, knowing that he no longer needs the ominous ambiance. He knows that the basement will soon be a collection of evidence bags and caution tape, so he wants to control everything he can before the police invade his space. He unlocks the deep freezer and looks at the body of the young woman he’s kept inside. He correctly paralyzed her with a wound to her C6 vertebra and then attempted a lobotomy on her. Though it did not work as he had hoped, it killed her. Jeremy enjoyed the pain and suffering on her face as he tormented her. He unplugs the freezer so that the police will smell her before they see her. He grabs his crossbow and heads out into the swamp.
