Touched By Evil — E.L. Jefferson

We are all surrounded by evil. Evil exists -- and if you think it does not, you are deluding yourself. It is real, it is tangible, and it is faceless. It is an insatiable hunger living in all of us, lying dormant, endlessly waiting for the moment it can be unleashed. No one is immune to its influence or shielded from its wraith. The moment you are possessed by its power, it is all consuming and it forces you to do the unthinkable. For proof of this, you need only watch the daily news. It's filled with stories of unimaginable suffering brought about by the hand of man against his fellows. What you are about to read in these pages are true stories about those things we fear the most. Acts so heinous we refuse to believe human beings could commit them. Depravities so vile they shock us to the very core of our being. Brutality so vicious it will make you ashamed to claim membership in the human race. What is even more appalling is that people don't care about evil until it touches them.
