When a Vengeful Killer Refused to be Caught...

Ойын-сауық

When student Lilie James turned Paul Thijssen down after a secret five-week relationship, she expected things to end there. Sadly, he was a vengeful narcissist who couldn't take no for an answer... and his reaction would be horrific.

    Hey folks! As you can tell this one is a little different to the usual format, simply trying out new things! Let me know what you think. Thank you for your patience on the audio issues! Recording and editing away from the studio for the first time - but it’s getting better. Next one will have better mic quality and quieter background music! We are away for one more video and then back to the usual format!

    @k_isforkaito.9918 because my brother, my nephew and my best friend all committed suicide and I would run out of fingers if I tried to count the amount of good people I l know that took there own lives none of them were even close to being cowards, heros, fireman, boxers ,bricklayers plumbers,drug dealers even a murderer ( he done 14 years) , ive been to more funerals than years I been alive, I was born in 81, I know plenty of cowards and scumbags not one of them would have balls to take there own life, I couldn't do, im a bodybuilder and a trained fighter, I fear no one but take me own life nope I'm too much of a coward. Was this fool who killed that girl a coward he very well may be, but people who take there own lives they aren't cowards they just lost themselves or were hurting. I do appreciate that you asked my reasoning Instead of a dumb comment like most of the Internet. Listen to how to save a life or runaway train they are about suicide, people don't write songs about cowards they write about heros that are lost. I hated my loved ones for leaving like that at first, cowards how dare they but now I'm older I understand, hopefully you never have too.

The on location feels too much like WE ARE THERE and i prefer the cozy coffee house flannel cat STORYTELLING vibe of hearing your melodic voice and letting my imaginatin take me back to the place with the help of your usual images. I am distracted and wondering if flannel is too warm for Sidney. If flannel is a seattle vibe (coffee) and if you have applied sunscreen. Too real. Less “let me take you on a journey”. Also the warm lighting is more the vibe than this cool lighting.

I'm a bouncer at a night club now and you can tell the type straight away. the amount of people that carry things to spike drinks is frightening and usually unreported to the police as the venue typically disposes of it internally to avoid police presence which of course would cost money.

    5 weeks is not a relationship, women fall in love/out of love slower, while men fall in love/out of love faster. It takes women about 7 to 8 weeks to completely fall for a guy and initiate a relationship. The males job is to keep things casual, hang out, have fun and hook up. The female is the one to ask for exclusivity. This was more of a FWB thing, however poor girl met a very unconfident man, who got very perturbed.
