Everyone has heard of people who were addicted to something, whether it was drugs, alcohol, shopping or whatever else they felt that they were incapable of stopping. But often overlooked an addiction of another form, an addiction that affects so many people at one time in a matter of a few moments, an addiction that has been known to change more lives in a matter of a few minutes than years upon years of drug and alcohol abuse combined; this addiction can best be identified as destruction.
To get to the bottom of understanding such a complex addiction, it was found necessary to interview the poster child of the baffling addiction: an old friend, Katrina.
“I’ve been suffering with this addiction for so long now that it has become second nature,” Katrina said, after she reluctantly managed to lower her wind speeds to a Category One. Katrina was born, as so many others of her kind, into a very violent world of changing and shifting air currents and temperatures.
But as another result of that birth, the new life form had been imprinted with an overwhelming desire to cause destruction. “I found myself needing to destroy anything in my path,” Katrina said. Hundreds of millions of dollars of damage spanning across several states was the result of her destructive addiction.
“She could have at least lowered wind speeds on her way through,” said Cheri Adams, a disgruntled resident of New Orleans.
“I couldn’t help it; it was reflex. Once one building went down it triggered an oddly satisfying feeling that I just couldn’t ignore,” Katrina said when describing what was going through her ever-so-twirling and unstable mind during the first moments of destruction.
Because there is no current support services for type-3 personalities, Katrina was unable to obtain help when she needed it the most, and as a result – as so many addictions follow suit – once no help was issued, the very first act of destruction only peeked interest and made it easier to heed to the “second nature.”
Many people are quick to jump to conclusions about certain situations without knowing what the real deal is behind it, without knowing that there generally are untold stories behind what is perceived to be the norm of things. Many people are quick to jump to conclusions about certain situations without knowing all the details; there are often untold stories behind what is perceived. But, if truth so has it that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, then perhaps not even the fury of hell itself can even begin to scratch the surface of a woman with an addiction to destruction.
