Behind the Mask

Craft a story about a serial killer who is a respected figure in public life.

This prompt works well with themes of duplicity, psychology, and the idea of what is hidden beneath the surface. How does the character balance this dual life? How does their public persona clash or intersect with their murderous tendencies? Could someone close to them suspect the truth or are they great enough actors to keep everyone in the dark? This prompt allows the author to lead the reader on a suspenseful journey marking the contrast between the public image and the hidden monstrous reality.
