A known serial killer, DNA on record, who pulled a sawed-off shotgun on him (at least after the attack on his mother he could claim so) and he's in jail?
The guy pulled a gun out in a crowded mall on Black Friday, the kid would more likely get a medal or keys to the city.
I gave your story here 1 star, now your biography words that would be 4*s if you fleshed it out a little.
shared this with a good friend named Henry who doesn't like Christmas all that much either...
....on an common theme. If I understand this story correctly. Henry is as nutso as his daddy. I am presuming that Henry was the one who attacked his mother, after all she was not disappeared.
...I heard him say shit like "I'll never leave you for another man if I knew I was going to die."... Is an interesting choice of pronouns. If not from sexual abuse, certainly a clue as to the subconscious motivations linking Henry and his father.
And the murdered Mall Santa, Carl Gusta was not Henry's father. Just an unfortunate focal point for Henry's rage. The only surprise to me, is that Henry (who had actually brought the shotgun) did not open fire on the girl packs and family groups. Then use the last shell on himself or suicide-by-cop.
"Carl" did, in fact, have the shotgun. From the story:
"I was only feet away from him when he smiled and undid the big, thick, shiny, black belt holding his red coat together. Our eyes met as it was opening and HE was pulling out the sawed-off pump shotgun. For a half-second there was no recognition. Then his eyes went wide."
"Carl" had the shotgun, hidden under his Santa costume.

First half was enjoyable then you got nervous. Keep writing there is hope and talent in your writing. Thanks for sharing.
but an amusing read. Well done. Five stars.
And nice pseudonym. Fear and Loathing, obviously. (And a cute Thompson reference in the first paragraph.)
