"I wonder if I could eat a child if I had the chance."
"I doubt if I could cook one,"
said Constance.
One would consider it an abominable transgression to feast upon
the corpse of an innocent, unsuspecting child. However, this thought
of such an unspeakable action was not far from the thoughts of Mary
Katherine in the somewhat dark fiction, "We Have Always Lived in
the Castle." In the book Mary Katherine was guilty of narrating
the following: “I wish you were all dead, I thought, and longed to
say it out loud.”
Although just seeming like a minutely disturbing quote, this
morbid thought of eating a small child consumed the heart and mind of
an individual closer to reality to both you and I. These preconceived
thoughts were entertained by a man named Ronald William Brown who
parents allowed to enter their homes through television on no other
station than the Christian Television Network. Brown was a Christian
puppeteer who ironically was sentenced to twenty years of prison for
crimes of child pornography. However, once further investigation was
executed, the article reported “Brown's involvement in an alleged
conspiracy
to
kidnap, cook, and eat a child whom he met through his affiliation
with the Gulf Coast Church.” On an online community, Ronald William
Brown would request images of children being both bound and gagged.
To take things a step further, Brown would write out his grim
fantasies of murder. While chatting online Brown was found stating,
“I imagine him wiggling and then going still.”
In
summation, the despondent thoughts of a fictional child named
Merricat seem quite odd but these types of thoughts are not far
removed from the minds that live in the same world that we tread.
They are housed in the minds of those we place our trust with our
children and those that even claim to do the work of the Lord.
