Clamping his teeth down viciously, the end of the good doctor's nose came right off, 'mmm...' John murmured 'it tastes just like chicken'.

Just like his old pet chicken mary-jo, whom his mom cooked for christmas dinner when he was 10, that's when he first started having the bad thoughts.

John's upbringing had been surprisingly Mid West for Mid Glamorgan.

11:20 / 21.08.02
Soon after the death and eating of mary-jo, he had began working a field of tobacco after school, pleased to be earning his own money and unaware of the growing social unacceptance of the product.
 
 
Tryphena Absent
12:44 / 21.08.02
At harvest time he'd happily appear at school, hand out free tobacco, and feel quite hurt when hordes of angry adults would chase him with large objects to hand.

12:49 / 21.08.02
His first victim had been his mother, and he nursed her through the final stages of chronic emphysema and inoperable lung cancer.
 
 
Tryphena Absent
13:08 / 21.08.02
Having been the only child of a lesbian couple John had missed having a father around the house, when mum no.1 had died from lung cancer he had briefly pitied himself, than realised he now had only one parent and could pretend it was his dad who was dead.
 
 
Ganesh
13:31 / 21.08.02
Additionally, John's little family suffered severely straitened financial circumstances as a result of the Welsh climate's general unsuitability for growing tobacco.

Then he heard the little red-haired girl had been admitted to the hospice.
 
 
Ganesh
14:00 / 21.08.02
Mary-jo had been red too.
 
 
gridley
14:08 / 21.08.02
As red as a blister.
 
 
Ganesh
14:49 / 21.08.02
And, conversely, the little red-haired girl had tasted like chicken.

14:50 / 21.08.02
The crunch came when the Tobacco Crimes Act 2017 was passed and overnight John became a felon, subject to imprisonment and psychopharmaceutical experimentation for nicotine crimes against humanity under Section 113(b).
 
 
Tryphena Absent
15:55 / 21.08.02
So he'd stopped selling tobacco, turned away from a life of thriving entrepeneurism and become a used car salesman.
 
 
Ganesh
16:28 / 21.08.02
His adolescent acne and ill-fitting suits soon became the butt of forecourt humour.
 
 
cusm
23:06 / 21.08.02
He wasn't very good at the job, salesmanship required social skills and graces the awkard youth simply could not pull off in the clownish, poorly fitting suit he purchased from a thrift store.
 
 
Tryphena Absent
23:17 / 21.08.02
Talking to a customer he had a habit of flinging his hands around emphatically, his suit sleeves flying in front of his face, causing a small and sudden smile to appear on a client's face.

23:39 / 21.08.02
It came as a relief when his past finally caught up with him, when he was arrested and charged under the Tobacco Crimes Act.
 
 
gridley
13:08 / 22.08.02
It was funny that after all this time, he wasn't being arrested for murdering women, or even for overcharging good-hearted saps for broken-down cars, but because he liked a nice smoke now and again.
 
 
aus
15:16 / 22.08.02
The relief and humor of the situation ended abruptly when he was told his charges included responsibility for numerous tobacco-related deaths stemming from his work in the tobacco field.
 
 
cusm
19:21 / 22.08.02
He was quickly convicted, though being a minor, was instead sentenced to remedial education rather than real jail time.
 
 
Mr Tricks
19:27 / 22.08.02
AYYY! He heard as the passenger next to him nudged John awake, He had been using this fellow's Shoulder as a Pillow.
 
 
gridley
20:01 / 22.08.02
"Damn, this train takes forever to get anywhere!" said John, by way of apology.
 
 
Tryphena Absent
22:56 / 22.08.02
He gazed out of the window, the world rushing by, imagine the landscape tamed almost completely by the humans of this earth, how strange, how odd.
 
 
aus
01:02 / 23.08.02
He wondered where his angst had gone and checked in his backpack, but it only contained the remains of the little red-haired girl.
 
 
Ganesh
01:07 / 23.08.02
"... returning, again and again, to the same doggedly literal train of thought, his mental journey enlivened only by typically primitive sadistic or masochistic wish-fulfilment fantasies," droned the familiarly warm, deep voice, "it's just one of the reasons I find this neurochemical regime too extreme for adolescents."
 
 
Tryphena Absent
13:44 / 23.08.02
He was a tall and rather ugly man, his hair was grey, some stuck out of his nose; John was scared.
 
 
gridley
15:28 / 23.08.02
John retreated into thoughts of a girl he knew in school and how even in her that horrid uniform she very nearly dazzled.
 
 
cusm
15:56 / 23.08.02
He thought about her slowly removing her blouse, whispering teasingly how she wanted him.
 
 
Ganesh
16:29 / 23.08.02
Then her skin, peeling long, quivering strips of dermis from her wet, red form...
 
 
cusm
17:34 / 23.08.02
Excitement built within him as she slit open her stomach with a razor sharp fingernail, revealing soft vulnerable organs inside.
 
 
Mr Tricks
17:36 / 23.08.02
The old Lady sitting across form him shifted LOUDLY expressing her displeasure at the sight of young John lazily reaching down into his pants, his mind continued to drift into thoughts of flaying the skin from pretty female classmates.
 
 
gridley
18:15 / 23.08.02
"Why?" he asked himself. "Why doesn't anyone love me enough to flay the skin from MY BODY?"
 
 
Ganesh
00:07 / 24.08.02
"... and the dopaminergic augmentation means he'll generate visual and auditory hallucinations to clothe those fantasies," the voice continued, "I feel duty-bound, as co-originator of this programme, to point out that it's... well, it's fucked up."
 
 
aus
03:04 / 24.08.02
"He's only a kid," responded Dr Toothy dismissively, "and a punk, fashion-angst addict at that."
