The Snap Killer
It’s been another few days since my last useless oc post, so here’s a little piece I wrote regarding Snap in his old universe
The series of murders, named the ‘Snap Killings’, were known across the nation. It started with a few human bodies found in back alleys; their throats slit and necks snapped, but it slowly became a progression of killings, targeting humans who publicly showed their dislike for Carcodills. Many speculated the Snap Killer was in fact a Carcodill themselves carrying out some twisted, vigilante justice, but this suspicion was confirmed when the first sighting of the Snap Killer occurred
Early evening, a citizen of Gainville was walking home when they heard a muffled scream. Cautiously following the sound, they came across a disturbing scene; the Snap Killer with their hands either side of their victim, throat already slit, ready to snap their neck. The alarmed scream of the citizen caused the killer to flee, leaving their victim barely alive. The brave citizen was able to contact emergency services, though sadly the victim died on the way to the hospital. The citizen, however, was able to identify that the killer was in fact a Carcodill with black hair
Around this time, Seth Alexander, as he was known, was made a suspect due to having a matching appearance and being in the area at the time of the murder, but he in fact had an alibi. He was at his friend and respected officer, Tempus Nebulae's house that night, staying over and watching movies. During the time of the murder, Tempus stated the two were on the couch falling asleep to a cheesy romcom
In reality, as told by Seth himself in an interview after his arrest 3 years later, he had waited until his friend was asleep and proceeded to leave the house and track down his next victim, of whom he knew would be in the area after a week of stalking. The fact he was caught in the act caused him to rush back, pretending to sleep beside his friend until he was woken up by Tempus in a panicked state after being informed about the incident and called to investigate. The word of a well respected cop was more than enough to prove him innocent at the time.
However, in one of his final public interviews before being send to the psychiatric cell block of a high security prison, Seth admitted that, despite his nature, clear mental instability and dislike for being turned in, he felt guilty for manipulating his friend
Some say he never stopped feeling guilty
