The Criminal Diaries: Chapter 40. Demons From Nightmare Come Alive

Hello, my sweet estrellitas! You won't obviously be ready to talk about Chapter 40 of "The Criminal Diaries" because there will be no place for shame, conscience, mercy, or anything human. The co-lead characters’ battle with the lead male character continues, and they act much harsher and more decisively this time. In order to achieve their goal, these guys give a damn about the moral principles and forget any kind of decency. They no longer see the lead male character as the person who used to be their close friend. And when I say they have given a damn about everything, I truly mean it. Because something more terrible than brutal, no-holds-barred fights awaits you. The guys begin to intimidate the lead male character and behave like criminals with no feelings or emotions, reminding him of the demons he saw in his nightmare. Meanwhile, his hallucination refuses to let him relax and keeps demanding that he finish what was started. But it turns out it’s not so easy to deal with those who go too far and are so close to committing probably the most terrible and disgusting act in their lives. Something that could make all their close people turn away from them if everyone knew it. Something that forces the lead male character to mentally return to his early years with the thought that something like this may have already happened to him before. Originally, this moment was never a part of my plan. As I mentioned in my previous post, the meeting between the co-lead characters and the lead male character was supposed to be much softer and far less dramatic. Choosing such a cruel and unforgivable turn of events, I completely understood that I was walking on very thin ice and could cross the line at any moment. I swear I tried not to cross the boundary of what is acceptable, but when this moment came to my mind, I couldn’t let go of the desire to include it. Yes, it’s harsh. Yes, it’s painful. Yes, it’s disturbing. But I decided to write it. I chose to show how far a person can go when they are out of their mind, so to speak. And by the way, when I started working on this chapter, I cried a lot over certain scenes that turned out to be overwhelmingly emotional. I honestly didn’t expect that from myself. It turned out to be very intense but very close to the edge. Thank you for your attention! Have a nice day! Love, Estrella Rose.
