Karl's obsession with tormenting and getting rid of Martha had reached fever pitch. He could think of nothing else at all.
His hatred of Martha was apparent to Kathy, and she became increasingly worried that Karl would harm the hen.

Martha herself sensed the way Karl felt about her and that she was in danger.
She could not stand Karl and attacked him whenever she could. Better him than her she thought!

One day Karl stepped up his torment of Martha to new heights. He moved the TV with it's DVD player into the kitchen and parked it right in front of the oven door. As Martha lived inside the oven,and when she saw him, she shrank back against the back of the oven to hide herself.
Karl could see her black beady eyes shining out at him.
He inserted a disc into the player and turned everything on. He had gone and bought a "Basil Brush' DVD to torment Martha with. She was trapped inside the oven and forced at length to listen to "Basil Brush" singing away loudly. A fox, which are common throughout Scotland, are a hen's worst nightmare. Their biggest predator.
A hen would not stand a chance when a fox raided a chicken coop.
For Martha to be forced to watch and listen to "Basil Brush" sent shivers down her spine. Karl was sending her a threat and a warning through the "Basil Brush" DVD.
He took to walking round the house singing the theme tune loudly for Martha to hear. When Kathy was not around, he would put the TV in front of the open oven door and play the DVD over and over again!
He went out and bought a fox costume and mask, which he would put on and crawl around the kitchen floor and in front of the Aga, growling the whole time. He would then laugh his maniacal and horrible laugh!
When Kathy was away or passed out drunk, he would do nothing but torment and worry Martha. He took to singing the "Basil Brush " theme tune and other songs while wearing his costume and mask.
Martha was forced to endure this torture. She became anxious and worried constantly about Karl letting a fox into the house to eat her!
She took to hiding in the warming chamber of the Aga. It afforded her privacy and protection!

Karl would go up to bed at night and leave the TV and DVD player on all night,.programming the DVD player to play the DVD over and over again all night!
There was no escape for poor Martha. He was going to slowly and cruelly torment her to death.
This sick and perverse psychopath showed no mercy or any sign of letting up on Martha. Her health began to suffer as she no longer left the oven at all for food or water. Her mental health was affected as well and she had lost her spirit and spark as she fell into a deep depression.

This book is a fictional work and all characters are drawn from the authors imagination.
Any resemblances or similarities to persons living or dead are entirely coincidental.

The main characters of this book are now uncovered. I have already told a few things about two of the main characters, the coward and his wife, who is an ex porn star, escort, call girl, street walking prostitute, who happens to be an alcoholic and a nymphomaniac. She has slept with thousands of men!

They live in a small village in the highlands of Scotland called Lochglen, which has around 300 of a population.

Lochglen is a picturesque and sleepy village. If you were passing through, you would never guess the secrets and strange goings on there.
A place of sinister and evil persons and happenings!!

Most of the locals who were born and raised there have either moved away or have passed away! Lochglen is mostly occupied by holidaymakers and incomers.
This book will revolve round two households of incomers who moved to the village around six years ago. Bringing evil and debauchery with them.
The occupants of these two households are ner-do-wells with no class. They have a hillbilly mentality and could be mistaken for being inbred. Especially the coward and his drunken slut of a wife!!

This couple are Karl and Kathy Mathers. The other household across the road will be introduced at a later stage of the book.

Karl and Kathy are in their fifties. He is an egotistical self important tyrant and bully who suffers from penis envy. He comes over as macho man but no one knows that his three ex wives used to dominate him and knock him around.
He is quick tempered with people he can bully but is a coward who hides behind his fat drunken wife if challenged. Originally from London, he speaks with monotonous grating cockney accent. He is loud, brash and could never be considered high brow, in fact the opposite, very low brow!
He struts around the village as if he owns it. Bullying everyone he comes across.
He is regarded as contemptible by the villagers, who give him a wide berth.
His macho stance hides his terrible secret, something he would kill to protect.
He is gay. Still in some self denial but increasingly coming out of the closet.
He is as gay as they come, has been for years and years. He really detests women but married them to hide from the world that he's gay.
This macho image he portrays is all a front to hide the truth about him! He is ashamed of what he is. This is 2013 and nobody cares if a person is gay. A totally accepted way of life.

He may think he's strutting his stuff, but if you look closely he's more mince than strut!

He has grey frizzy hair, a pasty complexion, is short with bandy legs and a pot belly. He looks like a caricature of what he may have looked like in younger days!
He is also vulgar and uncouth, with the most appalling dress sense. He looks like a store detective with Oxfam! He farts in public, thinking it's funny and makes fun of other people!

His wife, Kathy's clothes scream homeless shelter, Karl's clothes scream "lesbian pride!'
His clothes are always rumpled, stained, smelly dirty and look as if he sleeps in them.
His trousers are above his ankles, as if he is expecting a flood at any moment! The crotch of his trousers hangs down to his knees. The back of them looks as if his arse has fainted!
His shoes are plastic looking black slip on's with the heels worn down. He usually walks around the village in Kathy's slingbacks!

A walking shambles of a man. A joke to the villagers. They laugh at him behind his back, too afraid to laugh in his face.
It wouldn't matter if you were young, old, male or female, he would resort to physical violence. A really nasty piece of work!
This lying, cheating, thieving, embezzling vulgarian, who has stolen from his own mother, has no conscience or morals. Has his time run out, with the Inland Revenue hard on his heels? Time will tell!

News hot off the press....my cousin the private investigator, has done some checking and it seems Karl had a police record dating back years, for indecency charges on a number of occasions for propositioning undercover police officers in a men's toilet in London!
