another email: Someone asked why the female character posed the threat of
the inner monster...
The female character posing the threat of inner monster was to balance the
posing of the threat of the inner monster by the male Virginia Tech killer who
refused to answer or even make eye-contact with his roommates. Now that I think
of it, I might have put more of the killer's accusatory words into her dialogue
in the place of the line "self-serving entrepreneur."
As for what happens after the eye contact... their inner worlds
externalize... dead whales, oil rigs, train engines... )
