Preamble
This is a rather gruesome tale, perhaps one of the most graphic I have ever written. It is related by a fictitious convict just as the journey of his execution is to occur.
Originally, this story was mentally conceived in the form of a poem, its metrical composition being the result of one of my dreams. Waking very early one morning, I wrote the rough draft of the poem. It was some months later that the actual written Gothic horror story came to mind.
Its roots originate from a part of Greater Vancouver’s actual history in the sense that there once was a youth who was eventually convicted of murdering his whole family. I could never fathom why anyone could justify such violence upon people who not only nurtured him and loved him, but were his blood kin. There are no actual facts of truth within my horror story which have been taken from that grisly act, yet the notion of why someone was somehow able to carry out such an unconscionable act remained with me. In a sense, that ‘Thought’ is as much a reason as to why I named this tale as I did, ‘The Thoughts of Jonathan Moor’ as are the ‘Thoughts’ of my own, both from the poem and from the actual Gothic horror story I envisioned in that nefarious dream.
