The Senseles Brutality of Simon Boucher

How far is too far?
“Jordan, if you tell this to anyone, I will punch you in the mouth.” Simon The Bulldog Boucher

I fear that a mere seven hundred and fifty words are not enough to properly allow me to express the great and outrageous truths which I believe must finally be unveiled to the world. But I shall do my best, for there are moments when we must use any means necessary to reveal the naked truth to those who must hear it... no matter how painful it may be for them. Prepare yourself for the unveiling of the real aggressive nature of Simon Boucher.
I believe that Emmanuel Bible College has done well to avoid theological confrontation while strongly enforcing the plain truths which each of us must understand as law. It would seem all EBC students respect those guidelines and willingly and happily accept them as if they were the very words of Christ himself - all but the treacherous few: those who believe that through personal strength of character and social status they have risen above the law. One of these, disturbed, dare I say twisted creatures is the man many of us know, as Mr. Simon Boucher.
I understand the doubt you must be sensing at this point. The cool and collected Simon Boucher who many of us witness in the light of day is not the same man under the cover of darkness. As the moon rises, the cool and enlightened Dr. Jekel is quickly and without warning replaced by the dreaded Hyde like character within.
It is as Sigmund Freud stated, that within the mind lurks the reckless subconscious animal which awaits its chance to pounce, to be unleashed. He called this the id. William Golding, author of the acclaimed novel Lord of the Flies has captured this idea in fiction considering the desperate actions of those driven near the point of utter madness. Simon Boucher captured this notion in reality.
He moves about the campus by night, a tornado of destructive behavior, releasing and unleashing danger upon those too trusting and unsuspecting to create defense or even to ask, why? Why would Simon Boucher, the scholar, the theologian, the man who believed in the mind above the matter would stoop, below worm and crustacean to such a level of meaningless and dare I say downright unkind physical behavior?
It is almost a matter of despair that Simon Boucher's kind and generous nature could be so quickly lost amidst the dreaded and dark areas of the mind. Every man has a weakness, but through these weaknesses each one alike can learn willpower and strive to grain control over their dark emotion. They are not to be so quickly embraced when there are none left to judge but the helpless victims and forlorn observers.
I will say it does not give me pleasure to slander so the man who many of us have come to see as a prominent figure on campus. Indeed it astounds me also, but I simply wish to warn you. When out in the night, defenseless and alone in the EBC campus, I implore you to remain aware. There are things which go bump in the night.
I daresay there have been signs, whether we, as helpless and trusting people have chosen to see them. Extensive research has unveiled to me that the name Boucher, thought by many to be a French name meaning lightening dates back to an ancient Slavic lineage with the meaning “One who fights dogs”. This deeper meaning has been embraced and Simon Boucher has gone beyond just fighting dogs.
How am I aware of this? How have I been shown such knowledge which was before so hidden to us all? Well now you may know first hand the deadly nature of Simon Boucher. He hit me - really hard too.
