>i think i will.

I been spinning it in my head for a minute and have some things I can throw at you below. But just a note, I'm more and more serious about the second paragraph in post #53. I'm going to be updating there in a bit with how that type of targeted approach would work. All this stuff we're doing in house may count but literally it doesn't mean shit to the SFWA and that's the reason we've had so much trouble getting those alternate perspectives.

My thought was not to do it from her perspective, but to take it from the investigators perspective. I really liked that aspect of what you initially wrote, in terms of the geo pattern. So there's a trail to find. The racial aspect doesn't even have to be noticable for a grip. All these other alternate theories. Trying to connect the victims, but ultimately the trail leading the investigator to the girl.

My shit would have been the investigator goes out on a whim alone and actually finds the girl. But she's in disbelief in her head, like there's no way this __________ could have been responsible. Then the girl says in her head "oh yeah' and offs the officer so in that moment you get the motive, but it just ends there.

The bulk of the story being at how everyone is in denial that the victims could have possibly done anything wrong. I was actually thinking the girl would like write their thoughts on them like scarred on their forehead. So Little old white lady with "dumb ni**er" written on her forehead/ Her neighbors saying stuff like 'no she's not black, i don't think she even knows any black people."

LOL!!

Twisting it all around.

Only caution I'd make is try not to make her too powerful. Powerful yes but not undefeatable so that it's not about her power but more about who she is.

It needs to be wrote.
