A Deadly Obsession Unfolds
The moment Tom first saw Daisy at age four, he knew she was special-a "golden-haired angel" who made his knees weak. But beneath his seemingly innocent crush lurked disturbing thoughts. While other boys collected baseball cards, Tom preserved Valentine's notes from Daisy in plastic sleeves, building a shrine to his obsession. Most chilling was his confession: his greatest fear wasn't rejection but that if they were finally alone, he might "wrap his fingers around her pretty white neck and squeeze the life out of her." This duality defines Tom-a young man fighting his own nature while being drawn to violence. During quiet moments in class, he sketches detailed anatomical drawings in his notebook margins. When he finally kisses Daisy, he notices "how delicate she is" and thinks disturbingly that he "could easily break her neck with a twist." His attempts to channel these impulses into medical studies only provide him with more detailed knowledge of human fragility. Can someone overcome their darkest impulses? Is Tom's attraction to vulnerability innate, or was it shaped by his violent home environment? His father's history of domestic abuse and his mother's enabling behavior suggest environmental factors, yet Tom's obsession began before he could fully comprehend these influences. His leather-bound journal-his "confession box"-reveals someone desperately trying to understand his own nature.
