Detachment = Attachment

In looking at the Zodiac killer i became very interested in his handwritten letters to the press. He was detached enough from society and maybe reality that he murdered others and bragged about it even saying in one letter the people he kills will serve him in the afterlife, whether this is his true belief or not we do not know. Was he desperate to be attached to society/someone he went to the extreme to get attention and respect? The letters were extensively scrutinized by handwriting specialists and compared against a wide variety of suspects to determine the identity of the killer. It is said the killer used his left hand to write the letters, which isn't the hand he usually uses, hence the shaky scribble of the letters. From this i decided to explore this writing, getting others to write using their opposite hand from the usual practice, i did this myself quite a bit and i found it quite therapeutic and even with the less developed hand it is readable. In asking others to use their opposite hand to write with i found they took their time and tried their hardest to make it egilable. They seemingly use their language as a representation of theirselves. The writing style i used however with my otherhand was ot jsut let go and let it flow, it often became very scratch like and had a creepy otherworldy feel to it. It's style enough to distance the writer from the reader, the reader feeling apprehnsion and caution.
