“it’s an AMERICAN GIANT MILLIPEDE, or an iron worm, as it’s sometimes called. uh  — don’t worry, though. they’re typically harmless. they can excrete a noxious liquid that can cause something called millipede burn, but they only do it when threatened. they don’t bite; millipedes are herbivores.  they feed on decaying wood and leaves and the occasional fruit. lots of people keep these guys for pets, actually. really, they’re quite friendly. wanna hold him?” 

          —  while many believe that abigail is an only child because of the way her father acted towards her, what most don’t know is that abby actually had an older brother. it’s a sore subject that she doesn’t like to talk about or linger on, but it’s not hard information to find either. she was only seven when he passed away at the age of sixteen, a car accident with her mother. they were both in critical care for awhile, before her brother passed from his injuries. she doesn’t remember much of him, but when she thinks of tommy, she feels warm. 

          — ever since the accident, her mother has grown mute and distant. louise was there, but never THERE with them in the moment. a haunted house, a ghost peering through her mother’s eyes. with the death of her son, louise hobbs may as well have died alongside him. eventually she lost her job as a high school english teacher and stayed home, where her body would work on autopilot to cook and clean the house, but never interacting with her husband or daughter.

          — after tommy’s death, and abigail was old enough, she would accompany her father on his hunting trips. originally that had been garett and his son’s thing, but abigail felt that she needed to step up to the plate after his untimely death, and to take his place. while she tried, abigail knew she could never fill his shoes no matter what she did. thomas hobbs was their golden child, the one they gushed about at church and told all their friends about. even past his death, and abigail had grown up on her own, she was still compared to him in everything she did.

          THE MINNESOTA SHRIKE. prolific serial killer, gjh killed eight young girls that looked exactly like his daughter. same age, same hair colour — he was obsessed with his daughter abigail, and didn’t want to kill her, so killing the girls in her likeness was the closest he could get. abigail insisted in the murders, befriending the girls and finding out where they lived, when they’d be alone, etc ; and she would report this all back to her father so could do his work. much like the deer abigail used to hunt with him, nothing of the girls would go to waste — their meat would provide for the hobbs’ family table, and their bones would be whittled into plumbers putty or something else that was useful. NONE OF THEM WOULD GO TO WASTE. it wasn’t murder if their death wasn’t in vain.
