Welcome to Otherworld, I'm your host Jack Wagner.

This episode is part of a series we're doing.

If you're just tuning in for the first time, you should go back and start from the beginning.

Also, this episode contains graphic descriptions of violence and other things that might be difficult

for certain listeners.

This is the finale of the eyelash pose series, and I decided to split it into two episodes

featuring different themes.

The first covers the lingering questions surrounding the attack.

The other one covers the paranormal things that eyelash has been experiencing since touching

death and coming back to life literally and figuratively.

This episode is about the why.

I think part of the reason stories like this end up usually focusing around the person

who committed the crime instead of the victim is that people can't help but ask the question

why.

When something happens that's so objectively wrong and horrible, I think it's natural to

want to seek out some kind of explanation or reasoning behind it, because it's easier

to think that there must have been something fatally wrong in the system along the way

that caused it then to think that people are capable of doing such selfish, hateful and

senseless destruction.

But in reality, there's rarely a valid reason behind anything like this.

For eyelash, I know that the why does not matter because nothing could excuse or rationalize

doing this to a person.
