She watched them burn
I have vague memories of a tale about a female serial killer from the Great Depression era. She married well, insured heavily then drugged her husband before setting fire to their house. After a suitable period of grief she upped sticks to another state and did just the same all over again.
She married and killed about 15 times before she was caught, tried, sentenced and (as I recall) executed.
But that’s not what I remember the most. What makes this story still echo in my mind is that she sat calmly and watched the burnings. Every. Single. Time.

Oh, poo. Here I am partway through putting together one epic scene. It’s getting late so I hit Render just so I’ve got a work-in-progress shot and walk away, leaving my little netbook chugging to itself. Of course, I forget to save the scene. After all, I’m coming back to it in the morning, and

A short while back I posted an image titled Stand Your Ground, and promised a tutorial showing how it was made. This is it. Note: This tutorial contains nudity. Underneath your clothes, so do you. Live with it, or look away now. Starting (as you do) at the end, here’s what the finished result looked
