Deep down inside, Jack knew he was a violent man. There’d always been a beast inside him, wanting to break out of its cage. He feared it. Jack knew what it was: hate, pure and simple. He’d locked it away, but the monster didn’t die; it grew. Part of him wanted to close his eyes and run from the blackness that burned through his veins, but now Jack embraced the hate—he released the beast.
