Chapter Twenty-Six

It didn’t take Seth long to realise this blackout shit was far more widespread than just the prison.

He stood on top of the bus station and took a deep breath as he looked out over the city centre. It was beautiful being up here. He used to come up here when he was a kid and just watch the world go by. Watch the buses come in and out of the station. Watch people go about their daily routines, with no idea there was somebody up there, looking down on them.

And he used to get a kick from imagining picking them up, lifting them into the sky, and squeezing them between his fingers, like ants. At pulling them out of their nice, safe lives, where they thought they were alone, where they thought they weren’t being watched, and submitting them to unspoken horrors.

Why?

Out of boredom, maybe.

Out of curiosity, perhaps.

He didn’t know. Why did he do anything at all, really?

He was wired up the way he was wired up. And whether people liked it or not, that’s just the way he was.

He stood there in his prison gear and pictured all the fun he could be having right now. The world was clearly in the shit. He didn’t know what was happening, but it didn’t look good. There were fires all over the city. Smoke rising everywhere. People kicking off, fighting.

And the lights. All out. Everywhere.

He smirked. Still not quite believing his luck. Still not quite believing this wasn’t some kind of dream. Because in the three years he’d been locked away, he’d had one main goal. One primary focus.

To finish what he started, what he was unable to finish, three years ago.

Because his plan was simple. His revenge plan against the police officer who wronged him. Who arrested his girlfriend, Sandy, the love of his life, taken her away from him.

Only for her to take her own life in prison.

He’d taken a lot from him. He’d killed his wife and his son. Watched them bleed.

And he’d seen the horror on the officer’s face.

And then, before he could enact his final part of the revenge, the police arrived and arrested him, right away.

And at the time, Seth thought that was punishment enough. He thought that was torture enough.

But in the years since, locked inside, he’d spent the time stewing away. Thinking about what else he could do. How else he could torture that police officer for what he took from him. How he could punish him.

He never thought he’d get that opportunity.

But right now, looking down on the city as it tore itself apart, he knew he had a perfect opportunity.

He took a deep breath, looked over towards Fulwood, where the officer used to live, and he smiled.

He turned away from the edge of the bus station roof, and he walked away.

A ghost in the night.
