Have you ever watched a cat play with a mouse? It was literally the first time that I ever saw an animal play with its food. The cat chased that little mouse from one end of the house to the next, batting it around for a few seconds before chasing it out the door and into a small outcropping.
That’s when… bam! From out of nowhere a damn hawk snatched that torturous little shit into the air, never to be seen again. Now, it’s in the cat’s nature to enjoy the hunt, to seek out a thrill in winning its meal. But that taught me a lesson, “If you don’t strike when the opportunity presents itself, you don’t eat”. In fact, if you fuck around with your food you could very well be the one on the plate.
For weeks now I’ve sat back and watched a man play with his food. Sending it pieces of its loved one just to get a reaction. Just to get a rise from it. He plays with its prey just like that damned cat.
Much like that cat as well, I know it’s just in Jasper’s nature to play with his prey. I’ve seen it with Jackson Cade, and Aurora, but now he does it with that crown upon his head. Torturing CJ Thorpe, playing with the OSW Champion. Because he feels that at the end of it all, he’ll be able to smirk and smile like the cat who got the cream.
You send him pieces of his mum, and you antagonize his brother, and father taunting them. All the while Narcissa goads Jackson on the regular just to elevate the levels of torment. You poke, you prod, you connive, just like that cat batting around that poor mouse. Unaware of the world around it, an Apex Predator is too busy playing with its food. Wholey missing the shadow overhead looming like the Grim Reaper’s scythe waiting to drop across your neck.
But Jasper, what you don’t realize is that much like that feline, it’s your very nature to play with your prey. It’s in your nature to bat your prey around and chase it from dusk until dawn before you actually get around to ending it. I heard how you trussed up Jackson and nearly bled him dry. I saw you manipulate the Cade family, trying to hold CJ’s fate over their heads. We all got to watch your schlocky little horror movie you made with Aurora, you literally chased her and played with her. It’s this nature that will be your undoing. Because this week you’re walking into that outcropping and hell is going to depend upon you when you least expect it.
Because it’s all sudden, almost silent, and hits when you least expect it, One Shot, One Kill. Straight for the fucking head and you’re on my plate. Because nobody knows your nature like Nobody.
