Types of Mass Murders
The anger/revenge (specific person target) involves a situation where an offender seeks revenge against particular people. The targets in this type of an offense are known to the offender, and who were perceived to have wronged the offender in some way. There are precise targets for killing, and the offender will sometimes avoid injuring other innocent bystanders unless they interfere with the offender in some way.
The anger/revenge (specific place target) involves the targeting of a determinate location for the offense. The site that is targeted for the mass murder usually has some sort of symbolic significance for the offender, and is the focus of the anger. Frequently, the targeted location is connected to an agency or organization that has some authority or control over the offender.
The anger/revenge (diffuse target) type, actually follows one of two different victimization patterns. In the first type of pattern, the offender targets specific groups or categories of people, although specific persons are not targeted. In this pattern, the offender usually has a deep hatred for the group in question. The second pattern for this category involves an offender who simply lashes out at whoever is available as a target. The diffuse nature of this offense can be seen in the lack of connection between the offender and his victims, which often leads to a depiction of this kind of a crime as being random.
The domestic/romantic category, also involves two different types of victims, although the underlying pattern is primarily the same. The domestic cases involve family members in some form of conflict. The typical victimization pattern here is for a husband to kill his wife and children. This represents the most frequent form of mass murder in the United States. Usually this subtype occurs in a household setting, although occasionally they have been known to occur in a public setting. The murders are precipitated by stress or conflict, and is usually cumulative in nature.
The direct interpersonal conflict type contrasts with the anger/revenge forms of mass murder in that the former involves a conflict situation that is more immediate – as opposed to the long-simmering anger typical of the latter. These cases usually result from a relatively trivial dispute, and the offender is often a volatile person who reacts violently to the conflict situation.
Felony related mass murder involves the killing of three or more people as the result of the commission of another felony – usually robbery. This is an often overlooked category, and represents the most frequent form of mass murder occurring in a public setting. The principal motivation is instrumental, although the murders themselves usually result from either a perceived need to eliminate witnesses, or as a consequence of the offender losing control of the situation.
Gang-motivated mass murder involves incidents such as drive-by shootings or gang confrontations. These murders often have a dispute element as in direct interpersonal conflict murders, except that the offender has a gang affiliation, which dramatically changes the dynamics of the offense. The gang-motivated cases are often perpetrated by multiple offenders, and have a level of organization that is typical of gang activity.
Politically motivated mass murder usually involves acts of terrorism. The motivation is primarily ideological, usually for some political cause – although there may be a religious connection – or for political change. The nature of this type of offense is such that typically the offender is absent from the scene of the crime when the victims are actually killed – a sharp contrast to the more intimate involvement in most other mass murder cases.
Non-specific motive cases are essentially those which cannot be readily classified, usually because of ambiguity as to the offender’s motivation – essentially only the offender knows the reason for the murders. Very frequently, the offender has a history of psychological problems or mental illness. source

Hi, do you know of a story of a kid that makes a deal with monsters to kill his little sister? Or something close to that. I read it a while ago, but can't remember the title of it.
I’m not sure, do any of my followers know?
Regarding Danny and Micah Stevenson
My brother and I had always been close. “Joined at the hip,” everyone would say. They weren’t wrong; we went everywhere with one another. There was some security in that. The bullies at school were ruthless, our neighborhood was terrible, and, honestly, neither of us could imagine having to go through it all alone.
Even though we’d spend time together, we didn’t have much in common. Danny was a sports nut. He’d never miss a televised football game and he’d always talk about how he wished he could’ve played in high school. He tried out, but he didn’t make the team. “Just not athletic enough,” said the coach. I remember how heartbroken he was and our parents did their best to console him. There wasn’t much they could say, though. It’s not easy to comfort someone when they learn their dream is unachievable.

A Hard-Learned Lesson About Body Hair Removal
When I first encountered the literary classic Lolita, I was the same age as the infamous female character. I was 15 and had heard about a book in which a grown man carries on a sexual relationship with a much younger girl. Naturally, I quickly sought out the book and devoured the entire contents on my bedroom floor, parsing through Humbert Humbert‘s French and his erotic fascination for his stepdaughter, the light of his life, the fire of his loins — Dolores Haze. I remember being in the ninth grade and turning over the cover that presented a coy pair of saddle shoes as I hurried through the final pages in homeroom.
Although I remember admiring the book for all its literary prowess, what I don’t recall is how much of the truth of that story resonated with me given that I was a kid myself. Because it wasn’t until I reread the book as an adult that I realized Lolita had been raped. She had been raped repeatedly, from the time she was 12 to when she was 15 years old.
As a young woman now, it’s startling to see how that fundamental crux of the novel has been obscured in contemporary culture with even the suggestion of what it means to be “a Lolita” these days. Tossed about now, a “Lolita” archetype has come to suggest a sexually precocious, flirtatious underage girl who invites the attention of older men despite her young age. A Lolita now implies a young girl who is sexy, despite her pigtails and lollipops, and who teases men even though she is supposed to be off-limits.
In describing his now banned perfume ad, Marc Jacobs was very frank about the intentions of his sexy child ad and why he chose young Dakota Fanning to be featured in it. The designer described the actress as a “contemporary Lolita,” adding that she was “seductive, yet sweet.” Propping her up in a child’s dress that was spread about her thighs, and with a flower bottle placed right between her legs, the styling was sufficient to make the 17-year-old look even younger. The text below read “Oh Lola!,” cementing the Lolita reference completely. The teenager looks about 12 years old in the sexualizing advertisement, which is the same age Lolita is when the book begins.
And yet Marc Jacobs’ interpretation of Lolita as “seductive” is completely false, as are all other usages of Lolita to imply a “seductive, yet sweet” little girl who desires sex with older men.
Lolita is narrated by a self-admitted pedophile whose penchant for extremely young girls dates all the way back to his youth. Twelve-year-old Dolores Haze was not the first of Humbert Humbert’s victims; she was just the last. His recounting of events is unreliable given that he is serially attracted to girl children or “nymphets” as he affectionately calls them. And his endless rationalizing of his”love” for Lolita, their “affair,” their “romance” glosses over his consistent sexual attacks on her beginning in the notorious hotel room shortly after her mother dies.
This man who marries Lolita’s mother, in a sole effort to get access to the child, fantasizes about drugging her in the hopes of raping her — a hypothetical scenario which eventually does come to fruition. Later on as he realizes that Lolita is aging out of his preferred age bracket, he entertains the thought of impregnating her with a daughter so that he can in turn rape that child when Lolita gets too old
Lolita does make repeated attempts to get away from her rapist and stepfather by trying to alert others as to how she is being abused. According to Humbert, she invites the company of anyone which annoys him given that the pervert doesn’t want to be discovered. And yet, he manipulates her from truly notifying the authorities by telling her that without him — her only living relative — she’ll become a ward of the state. By spoiling her with dresses and comic books and soda pop, he reminds her that going into the system will deny her such luxuries and so she is better off being raped by him whenever he pleases than living without new presents.
Given that Humbert is a pedophile, his first-person account is far from trustworthy when deciphering what actually happened to Lolita. But, Vladimir Nabokov does give us some clues despite our unreliable narrator. For their entire first year together on the road as they wade from town to town, Humbert recalls her bouts of crying and “moodiness” — perfectly understandable emotions considering that she is being raped day and night. A woman in town even inquires to Humbert what cat has been scratching him given the the marks on his arms — vigilant attempts by Lolita to get away from her attacker and guardian. He controls every aspect of her young life, consumed with the thought that she will leave him with the aid of too much allowance money or perhaps a boyfriend. He interrogates her constantly about her friends and eventually ransacks her bedroom revoking all her money. Lolita is often taunted with things she desires in exchange for sexual favors as Nabokov writes in one scene:
“How sweet it was to bring that coffee to her, and then deny it until she had done her morning duty.”
Lolita eventually does get away from her abusive stepfather by age 15, but the fact that she has been immortalized as this illicit literary vixen is not only deeply troublesome, it’s also a completely inaccurate reading of the book. And Marc Jacobs is not alone in his highly problematic misinterpretation of child rape and abuse as “sexy.” Some publications and publishing houses actually recognize the years of abuse as love.
On the 50th anniversary edition of Lolita, which I purchased for the sake of writing this piece, there sits on the back cover a quote from Vanity Fair which reads:
“The only convincing love story of our century.”
The edition, which was published by Vintage International, recounts the story as “Vladimir Nabokov’s most famous and controversial novel” but also as having something to say about love. The back cover concludes in its summary:
“Most of all, it is a meditation on love — love as outrage and hallucinations, madness and transformation.”
“Love” holds no space in this novel, which details the repeated sexual violation of a child. Although Humbert desperately tries to convince the reader that he is in love with his stepdaughter, the scratches on his arms imply something else entirely. Because the lecherous Humbert has couched his pedophilia in romantic language, the young girl he repeatedly violated seems to have passed through into pop culture as a tween temptress rather than a rape victim.
Conflating love or sexiness with the rape of literature’s most misunderstood child is dangerous in that it perpetuates the mythology that young girls are some how participating in their own violation. That they are instigating these attacks by encouraging and inciting the lust of men with their flirty demeanor and child-like innocence.
Let it be known that even Lolita, pop culture’s first “sexy little girl” was not looking to seduce her stepfather. Lolita, like a lot of young girls, was raped.

I was going through this at age 11 when i got my hands on the book, and i never read it as sexual. I cried and related to her on such a deep level. Anyone who thinks lolita is a love story is gross.
Too real. Lolita means so much to me, because I was raped by an older adult man when I was 15 and years later when I came forward about it people said it was my fault because I flirted with him. A friend of his even teased me with the comment “weren’t you his little Lolita?” Lolita. Is Not. A love story. The continuous sexual abuse of a teenage girl is not love.
What chaps my ass is that NABOKOV didn’t see it as a love story. He found Humbert repugnant and went out of his way to make him so.
He hated that people saw it as romantic when he’d meant to write a fucking horror novel.
Prompt #511
Write about someone who discovers an old bomb shelter, with the door still locked from inside.
2030 A.D.
In the days following His death, which turned into months, years, decades, and centuries, people said he’d come back. Apocalyptic visions and prophecies of his Second Coming have been without end for two millennia. Various individuals and groups have made predictions based on their interpretations of the Scripture, or to coincide with milestone dates.
2030 is a milestone of sorts, being roughly an exact two thousand years since He had been crucified at around age 33, depending on which historians you consulted. However, the religion He inspired has been in decline across most of the Western world for decades — predictions and obsessions about Him have become more scarce as society has moved to a more secular stage, and the man who was once so central to society slowly began fading into history.
So when He made His first appearance in the sky across the world on April 3, 2030, most thought it was some sort of prank. Some sort of technological feat like no other, one that a band of trolls had come together to orchestrate. April Fools’ Day had just passed, so maybe this was someone’s idea of a belated joke. But soon it was realized this was impossible. Shock and disbelief quickly took hold when it was realized that the Man in the Sky appeared to each individual person as someone of their own race, speaking in their own native tongue. This is when everyone really started to listen to what He had to say.
He said this was the long-prophesied Apocalypse, and that only the truly worthy could enjoy eternity with Him and the Creator, along with long-lost loved ones. He said that in order to be worthy, each person had to dispose of as many sinners as physically possible. He said it would hurt His heart to have to do it Himself; He was a loving God after all. He said He would provide us one year, and that only those deemed worthy enough through their actions would be allowed into Paradise; the rest would be eternally condemned.
He also told everyone individually that whatever they happened to believe in was the “true” religion. He was turning everyone against each other. And with at least half the world still being fervently religious, it didn’t take long for the population to violently reduce itself within the provided year.
Then, it came. On April 2, 2031, those who remained saw it happen… His presence in the sky was suddenly “cut out”, like a projection switched off. They eagerly awaited Rapture, to be with their loved ones forever.
We took a risk given the religious decline, but we knew He was still the most fitting avatar for our airborne implant devices. And now with 80 percent of them gone, they’ve done most of the work for us… our limited supplies should now be more than enough to take care of the rest of them before beginning resource excavation.
We confidently entered their planet’s orbit.
Writing Prompt 51
‘Monsters aren’t real,’ she reminded herself as she walked down the empty hallway. She had had to stay late to finish typing up the last bit of report for Monday .But now no one was there to walk out with her.
“Monsters aren’t real,” she whispered as the lights flickers off above her.
Identical Twins.
Connie had been best friends with her twin sister Jessica since before she could remember, but never spent as much time with Jessica as she would have liked.
Connie didn’t understand why her sister was always being sent to the doctor. She didn’t seem sick, and doctors were for sick people.
Once she learned about germs, Connie had tried to catch Jessica’s sickness, so they could be together at the doctor. It didn’t work.
Connie had always felt protective of her sick twin, almost like a big sister.
So Connie never complained when Jessica got all the best toys. She tried hard not to be jealous of the attention Jessica received from their parents, who were so busy they barely had time for Connie. But Connie knew that they were important scientists who did important work.
Connie even kept her resentment in check when Jessica was sent to private-school.
It didn’t matter; she had friends at her public-school, and every evening she would be able to play with her twin.
Though their parents were furious, Connie was delighted when Jessica ignored her acceptance to a prestigious university so they could attend the same college.
When their parents died in a tragic car accident, Connie and Jessica moved into their family’s old house. With eachother’s support, they mourned their loss and re-entered the world. They graduated and found jobs; they dated men. They remained best friends.
On their 30th-birthday, the twins’ gifts to eachother had been plane tickets to Paris.
Applying for a passport, Connie requested her birth-certificate from the department of records and received a shock: the certificate listed no father, and a stranger’s name where her mother’s should have been. Worse, the certificate recorded only a single birth.
Connie knew it was a mistake. She called the records office and the hospital, but they denied any impropriety.
Connie felt uneasy. But, it was crazy; they looked exactly alike!
One night, Connie surreptitiously swabbed the rim of Jessica’s water glass. She paid the DNA-lab for rush analysis. The results showed their DNA matched: identical twins.
Connie was relieved, but deeply confused. The records had to be wrong. She would prove it: she would find her real birth-certificate.
Connie took the day off work. She spent hours going through her parents’ box-filled attic, finally locating a section devoted to family papers. It seemed that they kept every drawing, every piece of homework, and every report-card from the girls’ schooling. It was touching, but Connie kept digging. Eventually, she found a small fireproof lockbox.
She pried it open with a screwdriver.
Inside were some old papers and a Polaroid. Connie sifted through the papers, triumphantly locating the birth-certificate.
Her heart sunk.
It matched the one from the department of records.
Jessica’s was there too: their parents’ names printed in the appropriate fields, a single birth.
Tearfully, Connie looked at the Polaroid. They were newborns, both sleeping. She flipped it over and noticed an inscription in faded ink: “Jessica and control, 1986”
“It intrigued me….and I couldn’t stop.”
Photography project my friend Stella did with me ages ago. I was probably 16. So four years ago!
I so want to do this again with her, now that we’re older, and have more skills to make this cooler.

It’s really nice to see this place cleaned up once in a while; I played pretend here a lot when I was a kid. I have no idea why people deface it so often, it’s such a shame.
