So even in the dark purples there is still a sense of a vibrating light coming through,” says Hinkson. To the plein air (landscape) artist, light is an elusive challenge: “It’s not just brightness, it’s a quality of reflected heat and glare combined, which varies with the time of day and year and the environment. Hinkson reaches for a definition of that hard to define, elusive quality that describes “light” to do so he paraphrases what Derek Walcott as art critic said of his work during the poet/playwright’s years of writing for the Trinidad Guardian: “I am not talking about light and shade or shadow and darkness and colour and so on, I am talking about where the colour resonates below the surface…where the darkest dark shines.” Tied into this were my childhood experiences with my father through the countryside and the coasts I wanted to capture those scenes and their light and in watercolours that fascinated me 60 years ago in the Central Library.” “On my return to T&T (1970) after five years in Canada at the University of Alberta, I was stunned by the “light” here and I knew right away I had to capture this. He smirked and scratched a name off his list that's titled, "The Shame Of Shame".This article by Tony Fraser appeared in Trinidad’s Guardian. He packed up and headed down the trail, leaving behind a fire ring and the appearance that a hiker made a stop. He quickly disassembled his tree stand then jogged down the trail to where he made camp. The ruined structure burned down in flames.Ī mile away a man in camo was perched in a tree and ejected a spent cartridge. The second shot punctured the house's heating oil tank, creating a huge explosion that ripped through the mayor's house. The first shot went through the attic window and through the mayor's skull.

Two shots rang out from across the valley.

I look up just in time to see the window crack and then it goes black.

"This town is beneath me," I chuckle as I curl my toes into the human skin rug under my feet. I walk across the attic floor to the only window which overlooks the valley of the town and the forest. I waste little and the rest goes down to the septic tank. Some I skin alive while others are gutted. Then they find themselves in my attic, bound and gagged. My real delight is finding a vulnerable, contributing citizen to be my prey. Taking a homeless or perhaps a druggie, just for practice. The people of this town don't care unless it's their kin. There were dead girls found in the forest but it wasn't my doing. It's a shame how people disappear around here. I used different contractors on various sections of the house, especially the attic which was made to be a self contained living space. With my success, I commissioned a house to be built. Eventually I ran for mayor of this miserable town and won.

With that success and influence I had political clout. I was successful in forming a workers union between the lumber mill and paper mill. I worked my way through the ranks of the lumber mill.

Accidents do happen, sometimes to the worst people. Her brat kids got to watch her die by being electrocuted on a frayed wire of the vacuum. From there I was placed in foster care with a horrible woman that tried to starve me to death. Whatever happened to him, he deserved worse. I was removed from my abusive father and he was arrested. What a pathetic, shameful excuse for a town. I knew one day I'd be in the position to make this town suffer.

I hate this town so much that I decided to become mayor of it.
