Cheshire Cat


He came to me in broad daylight, his Cheshire Cat grin not heeded as a warning. I thought, “You have a remarkable smile.” He thought, “Just wait until I disappear.” He was gentle, cordial, mannerly though not in a Confederate sort of way, and I should have known that his sweet nature must give way to a thorny maze of BULLSHIT, because he was a LUTHERAN and a LIBERTARIAN and no one should be allowed to be both.
            If I’m being truthful, I wouldn’t have ever actually guessed that beneath the conventionally beautiful and widely admired shell, there was a BIG FUCKING EMPTINESS that one could feasibly compare to the space under the floorboards in the home of a sociopathic serial killer before his first murder.
            Because he wouldn’t hurt a fly.
            Or was he just waiting for the chance?
