Before the otherness came
And I knew its name
The drugs, the dark, the light, the shame."

ABBY'S P.O.V:

Two Weeks Later.

The last 14 days have felt like one big hallucination.

It felt like everywhere I turned it's all I saw. It was in newspapers, all over the news. Anywhere you went people were talking about it.

I knew Harry had planned or done... something. But seeing Andy and David's faces on the news was completely surreal.

It was so strange, sitting there watching the news about the explosions at the bakery. It totally destroyed the building, Harry's old apartment included.

The reason is what was strange wasn't the fact several bombs had been set off in a place I'd once called home but it was the fact I knew Harry had done it.

Or at least organised it.

Seeing the broadcasts about the entire situation unfold, all of these things I knew Harry had been a part of or done but then seeing David's face plastered on the screen.

It wasn't until the second week that the news really broke with David, at first it was all just about the explosion.

Then the news stories didn't stop the entire next week.

Tuesday:

"This just in -- we've been given the name of two main suspects in the bombings in Fitzroy North last week. Six other men have been apprehended in connection to the case. However the police commissioner has said their focus is on David Sullivan, CEO of Sullivan Medical Inc and his son Andrew Sullivan. Their whereabouts are still currently unknown.

Tonight partial human remains were retrieved from what is believed to be a basement at the location of the explosion. However police have said they were unable to identify who the remains belonged to at this time, due to the condition of the parts discovered.

No employees of the bakery, or local residents were harmed in the explosion, and police think the remains may belong to perpetrators involved in the bombing."

Wednesday:

"Tonight we learn more horrific details about the Fitzroy explosion and who people are now dubbing the Monster of Melbourne, David Sullivan. He is now also being linked to another three murders.

Claire Ellis, 41, an owner of a local animal shelter. Her body was discovered in her home last week.

Margaret Sullivan, 45, David's wife. Her body was discovered in the Sullivan home, in a chest freezer in the couples garage, after police searched the property.

Maurine Sullivan, 55, David's sister. Her body was discovered in her residence by her nephew last week.

These are in addition to another thirteen murders committed in the horror night of bloodshed, including eight police officers, as well as several other cases of Mr. Sullivans business associates that were thought to be missing persons but are now believed to be dead.
