Gabriel Wortman had always dreaded mid-April, PART II

The poet knew well of what he wrote

Ten percent of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) sufferers are sadder in the Spring sunlight than in the gloom of late Fall and Winter. Could Gabriel Wortman be one of them ?

As more information emerges, the following pattern may strengthen —— or be destroyed.

Spring 2010 : Gabriel Wortman threatens to kill parents.

Spring 2011 : he makes last will and testament, threatens to kill a cop, described as very stressed and squirrelly.

Spring 2019 : in an initial client-denturist interview recalled by a young couple to Andrew Rankin in the Halifax Herald ( a must read !), Gabriel the medical professional takes over from the couples questions to engage in three hour free flow highly labile monologue.

A sad lonely rambling disjointed monologue that involves him, among many many things, confessing to criminal arson to total strangers.

 And then proclaiming himself to be a real people person —- before verbally assaulting an old lady and capping that by announcing he actually preferred the dead to the living, as clients !

Spring 2020 : GW goes around saying goodbye to the few people he still considers friends, buys a lot of gasoline, talks of a covid conspiracy - and then goes on a murder spree.

What his personal family doctor made of all this, one can only wonder...
