'Tis not the eating, nor the drinking that is to be blamed, but the excess.
-John Selden

The house was devoid of life. No one ran through the halls or made love in the bedroom anymore. All that was left was the Florida heat, and the sound of the ocean.

The mirrors had been shattered, not a single one spared.

Graham collapsed onto the couch, a bottle of Jack Daniel’s in one hand. It was half-full, quickly on the way to becoming empty.

It wouldn’t be enough.

Nothing would ever be enough.

Enough to take away the memories of Molly writing under him, the way she refused to look at him after Dolarhyde stabbed him in the face. Even Willy was afraid of him, his own step-father.

Somewhere, out there, God was laughing at him.

Or was it Lecter?
