Ed Gain

      Ed Gain, like most of the characters from my articles, had a ruff childhood. His mother was controling type of woman. Ed and his brother were taught by her that according to Bible, alcohol, women and sex were devils creation. Augusta (Ed's and Henry's mother) was a fanatical lutheran.
      In school Ed became a target for bullies, he had no friends, so he was very lonely. Still, school was the only place he would go, if he wasn't at home.
      As he grew older, he started to reject his mothers point of view. She wasn't controling him any more. After her death, he didn't move, touch or change anything in her room. He just locked it and never went inside again.
      He was accused of a first degree murder. When the police came inside his house, it was as entering a horror movie. They found a vest, belt, bowls, socks and ceilling light pull made of human flesh. He was also sewing himself a women costume, made from different people skin. Till this day People are wondering if he was doing it to pretend to be Augusta, or was it because he was never able to socialize with women.
      He was put in to mental hospital, where he spent his last days. His house burnt. But memory of him still lives. He was an inspiration for famous movie charcters like Norman Bates, from Hitchock "Psycho" or killer from "Lambs silence" J.Demmes.
