Mr Jinx

MR JINX.

Now a serial killer who really cuts the mustard.

Whereas your average serial killer gets off on the direct individual approach to homicide, (occasionally may do two or three at a go), MR JINX could only register it when he slays in excess of 30 at a go. So to this end he orchestrates spectacular disasters, air craft ploughing into football stadiums, commuter trains twist together like mating slugs in a scream of raw metal and splayed human flesh.

He saw himself like some arty type comic super villain, dispensing his aesthetic catastrophes around the planet.

He saw disaster and trauma as positive, the moment when the world cracks open and reveals the true state of things, which is why he believed people stare at car crashes of course.

Jasper Smith was a serious fan of disaster movies as a kid. ‘The Towering Inferno’, ‘The Poseidon Adventure’, ‘Airport ‘75’, he would watch them over and over, like a student studying.

When he was 23 he killed for the first time. A drug addict approached him on the street and asked for some change, Jasper proceeded to explain to him that his life was worthless, meaningless. The upshot of this was the kid killed himself a few days later. Jasper liked the feeling this gave him, not only a rush of power but also the sense that he had done something somehow worthwhile.

In his dreams planes explode and clatter out of the sky with a rush of searing jet fuel, buildings groan and totter, equalising cement steel and human flesh in velocity and impact. Oil refineries and chemical plants split open the night, a wash of violet and crimson from burning chemicals and plastic that falls in a steady rain like napalm.
