Greetings Gregor fans! Heeeees back.

After numerous complaints from my readers (most audibly and notably, my Aunt Janet), I have been strongly urged to write a follow-up to G:THE STORY OF A MADMAN. Gregors fans demanded more. In the first work, I have been accused of leaving my readers hanging; which of course was very much my intention.

For those of you not familiar with G: THE STORY OF A MADMAN , Ive pulled a snippet of the promo ad.

If there were such a thing as karma, Gregor would say he had itbad karma. His mental illness has been present practically since birth. During early childhood, Gregor already knows hes different. As he grows to be an adult, those differences become violently apparent. He is a monster born, not made, and his extremely disturbed mental state is a thing of nightmares.
Told in a series of chilling vignettes, G: The Story of a Madman is a character study of one mans descent into pure evil. It begins with Baby G, a tale of Gregors upbringing. A few years later, run into him again in Friends. Next, follow Gregor to New York City as he escapes his history to start anew in the Big Apple. Finally, the Psycho G series takes readers deepest into the darkness of this antihero.
For author Bill Evans, writing is the priceless ability to show the things we dare not think or say in real life. It is a pure art form that reflects the truth of the human condition, no matter how dark and deviant. The stories in G do not pull any punches as Gregor grows to become the monster in all our minds and openly portrays the horrors we refuse to accept.

Sit back, relax, and enjoy our protagonist Gregor, as he attempts to thwart the sinister efforts of the sinisterly heinous (and perhaps alter ego?) criminal known as Green Man.

Oh yeah-one more thing. When you sleep tonight, its probably a good idea to leave the lights on.

Hauntingly yours,

Bill Evans

GREEN MAN MUST PAY
(part one)

Yes, I know hes certifiably insane. Yes, of course he is a danger to himself and others. I understand that. But why does he have to be my problem?

Dr. Horatio Coy, head administrator of the Cogan County Mental Facility was not pleased. Gregor could hear the echoes of the doctors vociferous objections cascading down the marble hallway. Gregor was helplessly strapped to a hospital gurney near the admissions elevator on the seventh floor of the unit. Two gruff orderlies stood passively on either side of the gurney. They were clad in the typical garb of uneducated flunkies. The white t-shirts and accompanying white slacks and canvas shoes gave them the sterile look that permeated the seventh floor. The flickering fluorescent lights and bleach scrubbed patient rooms wreaked of ammonia and only added to the ambiancethe ambiance of despair and hopelessness.

Gregor could not refrain from smiling. He was home.

Gregor looked with doe-like innocence at the two overgrown aides straddling him on either side. Neither seemed to react. Nonplussed, he turned his head to the orderly to his right. Ben was prominently displayed on his nametag in bold black block print lettering. Gregor lowered his eyes and became fixated on a small red stain on the distended stomach area of the stoic aides t-shirt.

Hey Benji, was the lasagna good? Im partial to it myself, and think it makes an excellent entre for lunchtime fare.

Shaddup smart ass, the orderly snapped tersely.

So very sorry Benji. Im just trying to make conversation in lieu of and in spite of the precarious and apprehensive environment.

The orderly on the other side chortled with a restrained laughter. Ben growled.

Damn Big Ben, that boy sure does have two lipsjust like they said. I think its funny as shit that he called you Benjijust like that there dog in the movies.

Bens face turned a crimson red

We got orders not to talk to this little dung head Darnell. So dont encourage him, and dont piss me off. Its always a mistake to piss me off. If anybody ought to know that, it should be you.

Aw shucks, Darnell didnt mean nuthin by it, Gregor interjected in a mock southern drawl. He was just tryin to

Shut up, both orderlies shouted, almost in unison. Gregor clammed up immediately.

GREEN MAN MUST PAY
(part two)

OK boys, unstrap the patient. However, keep a close eye on him. He is a cagey one. Do not let your guard down for a second. Keep a heightened sense of awareness throughout the interview process.

Dr. Priceners orders were succinct and clear to the two aides assigned to Gregor. As required by federal law, all psychiatric patients are required to undergo an admissions interview prior to assignment on the reclusive seventh floor of the psychiatric ward. This interview was integral regarding the process of assessment, admissibility, propensity for violence, level of psychosis-and the like.

Gregor waited patiently outside the interview room. Of course, he really had no choice but to wait patiently in that he was securely strapped onto the hospital patient gurney. To his delight, the restraints would be removed shortly. Then the fun and games would begin.

Gregor was roughly escorted into the interview room by the two thugs posing as orderlies. He was pulled across the room and shoved roughly down into a sturdy wooden chair, which was built more for durability and not comfort. The doctor would be in shortly.

N ow follow the script, Gregor reminded himself. Stay calm. Do not get emotional. Concentrate. This is going to be a challenge.

Gregor then burst into laughter at his own joke.

A s if I could actually be emotional, he mused to himself.

Dr. Joseph D. Jody Pricener was the Cogan County Health System admissions director. The Harvard educated doctor possessed impeccable credentials as a board certified M.D. in the State of Vermont. He also possessed a Ph.D in Biophysics with a concentration in Neurology from Johns Hopkins University. Dr.Pricener interned under the tutelage of the world-renowned heart and lung surgeon, Dr. Clinton McMaster. He later assisted Dr. Dennis Kelly and helped co-author the controversial book Techniques of Psycho-Therapy Involving the Criminally Insane; much of which was based on what is now considered outdated theories espoused heartily by Kelly at the time. Pricener however continued to argue that the theories were far from outmoded, and in fact, he could theoretically predict with 90 per cent accuracy, the actions of a psychologically disturbed criminal. Despite some objections from a handful of concerned seasoned medical professionals on the State Board of Regents, the ambitious Dr. Pricener rose quickly in the hierarchy of his profession.

The reputation of Dr. Pricener preceded him as a no-nonsense director. He was often known to take a firm if not sometimes harsh stance against troublesome patients. Dr. Pricener also happened to be a very close friend and trusted colleague to the facility director, Dr.Horatio Coy. Both doctors had been quietly accused of collusion in the past. Of course, this was spoken about in hushed tones, as there was little evidence to back up such claims. These two doctors formed a powerful and feared alliance that bullied and intimidated any who opposed them. The fact that Dr. Pricener was specifically requested for this particular admissions interview would probably not bode well for Gregor.
