The Foot

I was thinking out loud one day and mentioned the foot to my sister. How I'd described it as being a severed foot with the shin bone still attached. She said that sounded a little cartoony. Maybe make it just a foot and leave out the shin bone.
The key, I think, is to consider what our killer does with his bodies. If he's using them.(Hides, meat to eat, etc.) Or cutting them up to get 'em in a coffee can or something. Etc... What kind of remains would there be? This should reflect how the bodies are 'harvested' by the killer. I'm thinking we've got an Eddie Gein type on our hands. Although be assured-- It will not be a direct lift/rip-off from Ed Gein. It's just quicker to say "Eddie Gein type" than to say: A killer who harvests the bodies and uses them for food, clothing, and other such things much like an Indian would a deer or buffalo.

Luke's about to find a body part and instead of sitting on it, he'll be taking it to the 'proper authorities'. But I realized that by having Luke find a body part in his woods and Clint finding a body part in Krebs Hollow, this would imply that Luke's woods are close to Krebs Hollow.
This is just a regular geographical oddity!


This made me give pause and wonder if I should render a map of Greencastle. But I must keep in mind that I haven't set anything down that would suggest Krebs Hollow and Luke's woods can't be anywhere near each other. It's entirely possbile. It might make me want to rewrite the introduction for Luke Weems to include a reference to Krebs Hollow. Of course, when I wrote Luke's introduction I had no idea there would be a Krebs Hollow. And now that there is... Well, it's all tentative. I'm the writer and it's my story so if I want to change things, I'm entitled. It's my world and I can make it however I want. Besides, putting ooky kooky Krebs Hollow closwer to Luke's woods would actually help keep Luke the center of this and future plots involving Greencastle. His nearness to this 'cursed' place would cause him to get dragged into it, making him the 'Reluctant Hero' I'd wanted him to be from the moment I created the character.

So yes. I believe it will be a good change to the story. Having decided this, I should have no problem finishing the chapter, nien? Of course. So-- Back to work!
