Solitude

Theme: Waves

Marcus was a lonely man, spending most of his time at the beach he enjoyed this isolation. Watching the waves he never felt truly alone. On the rare occasion he did socialise, he had a tendency to fidget; he never knew what to do with his hands. This restlessness was paired with a propensity to chain smoke during conversation and avoid eye-contact. He never gave this away as he spoke with comfort, depth and confidence, leaving people in admiration and desire to speak with him. That's what made it so easy for him to find his next victim.
