Summary
People like to say someone “must’ve been born evil,” but stories like Roy’s don’t start that way. They start in homes where fear is normal, comfort is rare, and childhood ends far too early. Roy grew up with violence, neglect, and no one to turn to. He learned to shut down instead of feel, to observe instead of connect, and to survive by disconnecting from everyone around him. Over the years, those wounds twisted into control fantasies, cruelty, and a mind that could no longer attach to anything human. This story isn’t about excusing what he becomes; it’s about understanding the path that builds people like him: trauma, isolation, distorted thinking, and a brain shaped by constant threat. Monsters aren’t born fully formed. They’re built, one missing piece of care at a time. If you want more stories exploring how people become who they are, you’re welcome to stay.
