Tommy Edwards had a fascination of burning things. It gave him a high like no other. Tommy was an outcast that had absolutely no talent musically or athletically, and no friends to speak of. Tommy would peer out his bedroom window and watch people walking down the sidewalks laughing and enjoying life. Tommy yearned for that kind of life but knew in the back of his mind that was just a fantasy. Also, Tommy's house was a little run down, and his neighbors let him know about it quite frequently.
Tommy was getting sick and tired about being reminded about his yard and house. He finally snapped and decided to teach his neighbors a valuable lesson. He always wondered what a body cooked would taste like, so he invited his most annoying neighbor, Mike Gardner, over and knocked him unconscious. He tied his body to a metal table he had purchased just days before his morbid plans.
