How many times have we said: now I would kill you!
In the hyperbolic consideration exposed to any of our neighbors in a moment of heat, some nuances between comic and macabre can be added
... just that I would not know where to put the corpse
... but I will prefer to take it with humor
… However I left my semi-automatic Colt at home
And yet the most tragic thing is that there are those who think of it as a true plan necessary to balance their karma. Murder haunts us from cave times to today. And only the law prevails in the modern human to avoid the precipitation of the most untimely revenge or rage.
Lily really wants to kill. This is not a cliché or an angry cliché. Her life needs the absence of other human beings to expand in freedom without the ties of an environment that has loaded her with sadness and plunges her into a state of complete alienation.
But of course Lily doesn't want to leave any loose ends. And in it he is, looking for how to achieve the disappearance of the victims.
However, the most unique thing about this story is that, in the planning process, Lily introduces us to the reasons for killing. The author knows about that atavistic drive that unites us with the primary instincts of the animals that we are and that can lead us to bestiality.
In every pyramid of an ecosystem, some animals kill others. Pure and hard survival and general balance of a nature that is responsible for managing that ancestral balance in the cycle of life.
But human motives for killing are invaded by many other conditioning factors associated with our differential fact: reason and its multiple potential drifts.
Do you think Lily could never convince you of her motives for killing?
You can start reading this novel with the idea of discovering the causes that can lead a "normal" person into a murderer. But as I say, you can also start reading in search of a sinister empathy in which, at least in theory you think that yes, that you too could come to consider death as the only way to survival ...
