2 mins of the most predatory, darkest fiction you’ll ever read.
Chapter Nine of SEETHINGS III pivots from erotic chaos back into Mitchell’s most dangerous landscape—his predatory inner world. The chapter introduces Sandra Williams, a newly separated thirty-five-year-old who hides her panic behind nightlife, younger lovers, and curated half-truths. She’s emotionally impulsive, sexually reckless, and always looking over her shoulder. In Mitchell’s eyes, she’s perfect.
Mitchell studies Sandra the way a biologist studies prey. He listens through her laptop microphone for days at a time, watching her type in real time through a custom-built messaging app he tricks her into installing. He knows every secret she won’t tell, every lie she thinks she hides, and every pattern of her movements—right down to when she collects mail from her PO box.
When Sandra claims she’s out partying, Mitchell is already outside her house in Aspley, stethoscope pressed to the wall, proving her lie wrong. He watches her undress through her laptop’s camera and listens to her life unravel through its microphone. She believes she’s in control. Mitchell knows she’s already his.
The chapter turns terrifying when Sandra brings home Dennis, a vain, aggressive lover who escalates their consensual rough play into outright violence. Mitchell listens without intervening, fascinated by the emergence of the man’s own “Beast.” Watching another predator circle his chosen victim enrages him—but also confirms she is ripe for his plans.
Sandra survives Dennis, sobbing under the shower for an hour. Mitchell waits outside, listening to every breakdown, comforting her only through carefully timed messages designed to pull her closer.
By the end of Chapter Nine, Sandra believes Mitchell is her safe place—while he prepares her for something far, far darker.
If you crave psychological thrillers where danger hides behind every whispered word, SEETHINGS III will hook you and haunt you. Available now at SMASHWORDS.COM.
