Just throwing this idea out there

I don't write fiction but here's an idea for you. No charge. Sometimes I look at a pretty woman's face and I try to visualize the skull under her flesh. This sometimes helps maker her less desirable and reinforces that beauty is only skin deep. Then I become a little less infatuated and can get on with my life, because usually it's someone I have no chance with anyway. Seems to me this would be a thing an insane serial killer may do. I'll leave the details to you. You may want to change the part about it making a woman less desirable, or whatever works for your story.

BTW, anyone else do this? Oh, and I wouldn't be a serial killer or anything. I do this peacefully and I don't tell anyone. I don't even do it that often so I'm OK.

Yeah. I didn't realize.

Webster was much possessed by death
And saw the skull beneath the skin;
And breastless creatures under ground...

I don't do that last part though. I imagine everything with breasts.

Oh..."bust" is in it. There were no results when I searched for "breast" and I almost didn't bother reading it. Thanks for the heads up.

The young ones, so lean, so easy to see the contours of the skull. It was this that stirred my fascination with the female form beneath the flesh. I equated it with beauty. Of course, with a skull, there can be no consensual relationship, but neither can there be harm. It seemed just a harmless fantasy in the beginning, but an ever increasing desire overtook me. One day...

Something like that.
