Flap

It began the night Will told us he was going to be a serial killer . . . 'I've decided what I want to do when I'm older.' We looked over at him. 'You need to kill at least three people to be a serial killer, right? So that's what I'll do. No one would ever know when they're asking me to write a report, or when they're dancing next to me. But I would. That'd be enough. I'll know, and you lot will too, if you remember this - and I reckon you will.' He wasn't wrong about that.
