Sometimes my brain thinks ahead and when it does that the thing I say comes out a little bit as if I can't speak properly. Like now, for instance, when I told mr. English that it'd be better if he turned up dead than not at all. What I meant was that when a person disappears without a trace, it must be better for the relatives and friends if they turn out to be dead than if they're never found. Just for the closure. Of course, the ideal thing is that they just went out to sniff a flower and lost track of their feet.
It's a bit weird though, those people who disappear every year and never turn up. I don't mean the ones who are kidnapped, but the ones who simply... disappear. I mean, how can you just one day decide to walk out the door and not turn back? Never get in touch with your friends and family again? Never look back? Is it too much trouble with money? Friends? The law? Hrm... come to think of it - if I was in trouble with the law I'd probably run for it aswell. I doubt it'd be that hard. Take out all the cash, get on the train, be anonymous, get to the continent, take a boat somewhere. All anonymously. Oh, and of course, don't use electronics. And no, I am not in trouble with the law, and no, this is not how I would do it. I'm simply giving you an example of how it can be done. What surprises me is that people don't do it more. Or maybe they do and they're just stupid and get caught. Then again, if you commit a crime you're pretty damn stupid anyway.
