Cho Seung-Hui's writing: ‘macabre,’ ‘twisted’

Cho's scripts, brought to public attention by a former classmate, feature dialogue packed with obscenity and violence.

In the screenplay called "Richard McBeef," a young man accuses his stepfather of murdering his father to get his mother, and then accuses him of pedophilia when the stepfather puts his hand on the young man's leg, apparently in a friendly gesture.

"What are you, a Catholic priest," the character John rails at the older man in the play. "I will not be molested by an aging, balding, pedophilic stepdad named Dick. Get your hands off me, you sicko. Damn you, Catholic priest. Just stop it, Michael Jackson."

At the end of the play, the frustrated stepfather hits the 13-year-old stepson, killing him.

The plays, made available by Ian McFarlane, a former Virginia Tech student who now works for AOL.com, have been posted on AOL's "newsbloggers" site. (Click the icons below for each play)



WARNING: If you read these with prejudice, of course you will condemn the play write. But reading these without the idea that the writer just killed himself after killing 32 people and wounded more than a dozen others, will you think otherwise?

I went paranoid.
