The Psycopath

The Psychopath

By Rida Farhat

It was all for her… for her love. She was the only one that understood me and stood up for me, but they were the wall between us, the water to the flame of our amour. They were the reason of my misery. However, they will pay… with their lives.

I remember that day like the back of my hand. It was on a bright and sunny day, Artie, “my best friend” and I were playing in the school playground during the recess. Then, they started walking towards us.

“Hey Martin! So are you talking to you’re imaginary friend?” Ali asked sarcastically. ”No! He is not imaginary! He is real!” I replied. “Oh my God! You’re crazy!”, Eva said. “There’s nobody there!” You’re insane!” Ali added. “Leave me alone”, I said. “Don’t cry you little baby”, Moe said. “Hey guys, leave him alone! Everybody’s free to do anything he wants!”, Dona defended. “Don’t butt in Dona”, Moe replied.

After that, they started pushing me and pushing until I fell on the ground with dirt in my face and tears dropping from the sides of my face. I stood up and ran away escaping their treacherous and heart-breaking laughs. I escaped to my house to sit alone in my room and relieve my anger and grief.

Suddenly, somebody knocked on the door…. It was my parents who came back from work! They were the pill to my sorrow. I went to open the door to find a police man with his cap in his hands and a frown on his face.

“I come with bad news, Martin”, he said. “Your parents passed away in a car accident on the way back from work”, he added. I stood in front of him feeling light headed and that my legs could not hold me… “Are you ok?”, the policeman asked.  Abruptly, I fell on the ground leaving me unconscious.

After several hours, I found myself in a dark crowded orphanage room with soiled walls and cockroaches playing on the floor. All of a sudden, something happened that I could not control! I started crying and when anybody would come near me, I would start to shout and hit him. Then, I started to attack all of the people who looked at me.

After that, they held me (resisting my punches) and took me to a “rehab center” (mental asylum). I stayed there until I became eighteen, receiving psychological treatment relating to anger and depression issues. In it, they made me forget everything terrible that happened in my past. Eventually, I came out of the center with a job interview arranged for me.

After that, I started working in a paper manufacturing company, at the bottom, as a warehouse worker. I started working as hard as I could to move up the ladder and I did! I became an office worker.

One day, I came to work and read the newspaper to find the following article:

“The Fantastic Four:

Ali Fares, Dona Gabbana, Moe Pato, Eva Ivy

For more than ten years, these four were and still are the best of friends. Moreover, each person became successful in his/her job. Ali became one of the most influential businessmen of this century. Eva became a worldwide known doctor. Dona and Moe became two of the most intelligent and trusted forensic investigators. Moreover, Dona and Moe are engaged and are going to be wed after three months….”

What?! I remembered everything! I remembered the grief and misery that I passed through, the love and the flame that was lit in my heart that spelled “Dona”. I wanted her, but how? Aha! I could take my revenge at my love all at once.

         

One dusky night, using the information provided by the article, I followed Ali on his way back home and…”Skk”… one out and two to go. Furthermore, I left a note for “mon amour” that I am sure she will understand.

         

The next day, I stood on the balcony of my hotel room which was “coincidently” in front of the crime scene. I watched their every move waiting for her to pick up my note which said: “Pour la laska de Dona”.

         

Then, after a week, step two was put into work. I traced Eva’s steps from night till day until I found a pattern which was her passing by the “Star Plaza”. So, I took a room there and waited for the exact minute for her to pass.  And then there was one.

         

However, I wanted her to know that I was the killer; I wanted her to see that all of this was only for her! So, I added another note including my initials.

When I stabbed each one of them and the blood came dripping from the knife puncturing their necks, I felt a sense of relief and happiness. What was that feeling? It was the feeling of revenge!

Now it is the best time for the final step in my plan. I got a job as a janitor in the police department so that I could monitor her at every second of the day. Moreover, when the moment was right, I would attack.

After a couple of days, Dona was very close to finding who did the homicides. She went to the hotels and knew that there was a person who changed from a hotel to the other. Moreover, she unlocked the codes of the notes and when she found out it was me: Martin Martins… I was standing behind her!

“Why did you kill all of my friends?”, she said. I did not reply. “What do you want from me? Do you wanna kill me? Kill me then! Kill me!”, she added. “It was all for the love of Dona!”, I replied. She stood with no movement. I ran towards her quickly and injected her with a paralyzer. After that, I tied her up and took her to an old abandoned warehouse.

I did not imprison her in a small room; I left her lying on a mattress in the wide warehouse. I did not shut her mouth so that I would hear her angelic voice. While waiting for her to wake up from her slumber, I stroked her hair gently and gazed upon her goddess-like beauty.

After a while, she woke up to find me next to her, stroking her hair. “What are you doing?!” she said surprisingly. “I’m admiring your beauty, my love”, I replied. “Why did you bring me here for?”, she questioned. “I brought you here so we can be alone and eventually get married. Do you agree?”, I answered. “N….Okay… Like you want”, she said hesitantly. “Good answer”, I responded.

I continued stroking her hair; however, I felt that she did not accept the idea that she is mine and will always be mine. However, as the time will pass, she will come to accept this idea.

Suddenly, I heard a sound that was coming from the circumference of the warehouse. It was her “ex”-fiancé! How did he know! Oh No! I forgot to get rid of the proof! Nevertheless, I know how to get rid of him for good!

I tied up Dona tightly and shut her mouth with a piece of cloth. Then, I hid behind some cardboard boxes waiting for his arrival.

He went in slowly and cautiously looking in every direction. Subsequently, he spotted her and ran as quick as he could and untied her.

Then, I stood up and uncovered myself. “It was you, Martin, who killed them”, he said. “Yes, it was! Hahaha!”, I laughed. “You will pay!”, he added. Afterwards, he picked up a gun from the floor. “Shoot me! Kill me!”, I said. He pulled the trigger, but the gun was empty! I took my trusty knife and stabbed Moe in the neck.

“Noooooo!!! Why did you do it, Martin? Why?”, she cried. I replied by laughing. Then, she picked up the knife and ran towards me trying to kill me. However, I held her hand and stabbed her with it.

No! What have I done I killed my love! All of the murders for her and I killed her! I cannot stay in this world alone. I cannot bear life without her. I should join her in the afterlife!!!

Happy Adha!!!

I wish everyone a very happy and prosperous Adha vacation (3eed adha Sa3eed) !!! :D


May you and all your family have a prosperous and delightful life!!!!

The Vacation From Hell 2: Hollow's Eve

          "Hey mom, can I go to Jenna’s Halloween party?”, Suzy asked. “Well yes, but where is it?”, mom replied. “Ummm… in Favle Street”, she answered hesitantly. “Favle Street!  Are you crazy! It’s too far dear! It’s in the other part of town across the barren fields!”, mom shouted. “I know, but…but… all of my friends are going!”, she replied. “Well, your safety is more important than a stupid party”, mom answered. “Okay! I won’t go!”, Suzy agreed.

          On Halloween night, the entire street was full of kids wearing costumes of all kinds. You could see Superman, the Avengers, David and Victoria Beckham and even Lady Gaga.

          However, Suzy’s parents were going out to an “all parents” Halloween party at the Henderson’s. On the other hand, disobeying her mother, Suzy was getting ready for Jenna’s party. While wearing her Britney Spears, her cellphone rang. It was Keesha!

          “Hey Keesha! Wazzup?”, Suzy said. “Nothing, just chillaxing. By the way, fifteen minutes and we’ll come to pick you up”, Keesha said. “Okay, no prob. So what’s your costume?”, Suzy asked. “Well, my name is Keesha, so I went with a Ke$ha costume”, Keesha replied. “Nice! Well, I’m wearing a B.S costume”, Suzy said. “Hit me one more time!”, Keesha laughed. “Hahaha! See you!”, Suzy said.

          After fifteen minutes, Suzy left the house and entered Darrel’s car. “Who’s ready to partey!”, Suzy shouted. “We are!”, Darrel, John and Keesha replied. They had to make a thirty minute drive to arrive at the barren fields and another thirty to arrive at the party.

          Suddenly, while driving through the fields, one of their tires exploded leaving them in the middle of the meadow. “What happened?!”, Suzy screamed. “Nothing. Don’t worry! Only the tire exploded. I have a spare one”, Darrel replied.

          After that, Darrel and John went out to change the tire, but there was no extra! They used it last week! “Ummm…guys, there is no spare tire”, they said hesitantly. “What?! What will we do?! My mom was right, I shouldn’t have com”, Suzy said. “Hey chill! We’ll just call a repairman”, John said. “How could we call him if there’s no cellphone connection?!”, Keesha said. “Hey, we’ll just walk until we reach Favle Street and then I’ll call my parents to pick us up”, Darrel proposed.

          After agreeing Darrel’s suggestion, they started walking in the vast grasslands. Thirty minutes later, they got tired so they sat down on a wood log to take a breath and relax for a bit. While relaxing, John spotted an old house which was behind some tall and dead trees. “Hey guys! There’s a house behind those trees! Let’s see if someone lives in it!”, John said.

          They started running towards the house with John in the lead. Then, abruptly, a hand holding a pumpkin carving knife appeared from behind a tree and decapitated John. “Aaaaaahhhh!!!”, Suzy screamed. A man wearing old dirty jeans overalls and a hay hat appearing holding a bloody rusty carving knife. He took John’s head and body and started singing: “One by one… One by one…” while walking away into the shadows.

          After that horrotious experience, they started running as fast as they could towards that house. After fifteen minutes of running, they stopped to take a breath while hiding behind an old abandoned turned over wagon. “I think we lost him”, Darrel said. “What should we do?! That crazy man is going to kill us!”, Keesha said. “Oh my God; we’re gonna die!”, Suzy shouted silently. “Hey guys chill! We’re gonna continue our path until we reach Favle Street and then call the authorities and tell them about the incident”, Darrel said.

          As soon as he finished speaking, a knife came flying out from nowhere and stabbed Darrel in between his eyebrows. “Aaaahhhh!!!”. Suzy and Keesha yelled. “We’re gonna die!”, Suzy cried. “Let’s run to that house; may be there’s someone who can help us out before he comes”, Keesha proposed.

          They started running yet again towards the old house but as cautiously as they can. Meanwhile, the killer appeared from behind a tree and took Darrel’s corps. Then, he started laughing and said: Welcome to my humble abode ladies! Subsequently, he cut the head from the body and started emptying the brains and “filling” from the head; however, he did not leave them on the floor. Afterwards, he continued his path towards the house.

          On the other hand, Keesha and Suzy were inside the house. It was an old wooden house which would collapse at any second. It didn’t have any light bulbs; it was covered by moss and mold with cockroaches and rats playing on the floor. They started searching the house and found in an old drawer an article dated 10/11/1982 saying:

                    “The World’s Fastest and Most Talented Pumpkin Carver

          Eddy Enderson is the world’s fastest pumpkin carver with a record of 8.9 seconds. Moreover, he is one of the most talented carvers; he can carve a pumpkin into a squirrel in mere minutes! The secret of his talent as he says is his trusty carving knife, Betsy, which has been given to him from his dad when he was 10 years old…”

          Then, they found another article dated 29/05/1983 saying:

                   “From Most Talented to Craziest Man Alive

Unfortunately, after being insulted by one of the competition’s audience who said that he was obsessed with pumpkin carving and that he should get a life, he took his knife and threw it at that boy leaving him dead. He became crazy and left pumpkin carving forever. He has went missing after that incident; however, it is thought that he is living in the middle of the barren fields of Favle Street…”

“Oh my God! It’s the murderer’s house!”, Suzy said in surprise. “Yes it is”, replied Eddy Enderson. They slowly turned to find Eddy behind them holding Betsy! “Hello ladies!”, he said. “You girl wearing a Ke$ha costume go into that closet and you in the Britney Spears costume stay here”, he ordered. Abiding his orders, Keesha went into the closet and Suzy stayed while trembling from head to toe.

“What’s your name?”, he asked. “I’m Suzy Sanders”, she replied. “Sanders! What’s your mother’s name?”, he questioned. “Mandy Sanders”, she answered quietly. “Mandy!”, he shouted. He paused for two minutes. “Suzy, I am your father!”, he proclaimed. “What! You’re a liar! My dad is Raymond Sanders! Not you crazy man!”, she yelled. “Well, I am sure that you are my daughter if you’re not, then I have to kill you. So what do you think?”, he declared. “Okay…dad”, she wept. “Come over and give your dad a hug!”, he said.

Then she slowly walked over to him to give him a hug. Out of the blue, he took his knife and stabbed Suzy in her neck. Then, he started laughing as she fell on the ground with her blood splattering on the ground.

In the meantime, Keesha heard everything and was trying to hold back her tears in the closet. After a while, she did not hear anything in the room. He forgot her! So, she got out of the closet and started running away from the house.

After running for almost an hour, she reached a point that she could not breathe. Thus, she sat down since she thought he would not reach her. Then, suddenly, she heard someone singing:” Tik Tok, on the clock, but the party don’t stop…”. Afterwards, she turned to see if someone’s behind her, but no one was there! Maybe it was all in her head. Then, Eddy turned up in front of her and told her: “Well, the party will stop for you!”

The Invisible Man

    One day, I was at Dr. Invisibo’s lab, helping him with his new invention. “At last, my invention is completed!”, the doctor said. So, he tried the invention on his head and…“Bang!”, the invention disappeared, fortunately, there were no side effects.

    The next day, I woke up and when I went into the bathroom and looked at the mirror, I saw only floating pajamas. I was invisible!

    I quickly wore a t-shirt and jeans and went to Dr. Invisibo’s house. I snuck out of the house and avoided any human contact.  

    ”Dr. Invisibo! What happened to me? I’m invisible!”, I exclaimed. “Ah! You got the electromagnetic waves that were supposed to hit me and make me invisible”, he said. Then, he continued talking complex scientific stuff that I did not understand. After finishing, he told me that he would try to reverse the polarity of the invention and let me visible again. Hence, I looked on the bright side and hoped that it would work.

    When I went back home, Dr. Invisibo turned and suddenly his costume changed and he appeared to be wearing a costume similar to that of Dr. Magneto in the X-men. “Hahaha! He did not know that I transformed into a super villain with laser eyes! I will start with Rudi Ville then the World!”, Dr. Invisibo said.

    Dr. Invisibo did not know that I was in the room eavesdropping on him. Thus, I knew that he was a villain and I have to stop him because I was “The Invisible Man”!

    That afternoon, the evil Dr. Invisibo went to the “Rudi Ville National Bank” to steal the entire city’s money. Therefore, I concocted a costume and got into it as fast as I can to defeat Invisibo.

    When I got to the bank, I saw him breaking into the safes and stealing the gold and money. “Haha, so now you know that I, Dr. Invisibo, was also affected by the rays”, he said. “Well, I knew from before!”, I told him.

    I quickly turned on my invisible powers and attacked him with a “Pow” and a “Bang”. However, Invisibo did not feel a thing, he was laughing! He put his in-invisibility helmet so he can see me and “Zap” he shot the laser at me, but he did not hurt me a lot. The battle was long and brutal, and then suddenly, I made a force ball and hit him making him fall on the ground.

    Then, he stood up and made a gigantic laser ball, furthermore throwing it at me. As it progressed towards me, I woke up! I did not know what happened to me or if I lost the battle or not. Maybe it was real or maybe it was a dream, I did not know, but in my heart, I will always be the Invisible Man!

The Vacation From Hell: The Rusted Blade

        Tic…Toc…Tic…Toc…The class was seconds away from the twenty day vacation. Fortunately, the bell rang and it was accompanied by the screams of the excited and exuberant students and in a nanosecond, the classroom was as empty as the Saharan Desert.

       “Hey guys!”, Will said. “What are you planning to do this vacation?”, Will added. “I’m thinking of making a trip to the cabins next to the lake, would you like to join?”, Samantha proposed. “Ok, that sounds like a wonderful idea”, Julia agreed. “I’ll call Bill, Matt and Jennifer to come too”, Will said. “We’ll meet at my house at 8 am on Saturday”, Sam said.

       On Saturday, they all went to Samantha’s house; all of them holding a handbag full of their camping gear. “Come on Sam!”, shouted Julia. “I’m coming! I’m coming!”, she replied. After ten minutes, she came down with two handbags and a huge suitcase shouting “ I’m ready!”. “At last!”, sighed the others. They went into Will’s car and began to drive to the cabins. During the trip there, Sam never stopped talking about herself and her outer beauty. While she was bragging, Matt and Bill were starring deeply at her.

       After that extensive and dreadful drive, they finally arrived. The girls took one cabin and the boys took one, too. Of course, they went to the lake and started swimming and “tanning”. Suddenly, a rough rattling and crackling was heard in the bushes. “What was that?”, asked Jennifer. “Maybe it’s just a stupid raccoon or a squirrel”, Matt added. However, the sound did not stop, furthermore, it became louder and closer and a strong moaning was heard!

       “Let’s get out of here!” Jennifer screamed. Then, they all ran as quick as they can to the closest cabin, which was the girl’s, but Bill was nowhere to be seen! “What was that?!”, asked Jen. “Don’t know”, said Samantha. However, as soon as she finished her statement, hard banging was heard on the door; then, a scream of help was also heard and it was apparently from Bill! “Oh My God! Somebody help him! It’s Bill out there!”, Jennifer screamed. After that, the screaming was replaced by laughter; it was all a joke!

       “Argh!”, they all said angrily. Conversely, when he was opening the door to enter, an unknown thing quickly snatched him outside. “Hahaha! Stop it, it’s not funny anymore!”, they all said. Nevertheless, he was not joking, it was real! Then, bone crushing and blood splattering were heard. “Ahhhhhhh! Hel…!”, Bill squealed.  Will went quickly out to find a large pond of blood but no body was found instead a weird figure was what he saw walking away except it was far away.

       “Oh My Gosh! A freak killed Bill!”, Will screamed. “I’m scared. Let’s go back home, please”, Jen cried. Everyone agreed and steadily went to the car for no one to see them. When they arrived, they went into the car, and found… Bill’s body cut into pieces!!! With the corpse, they found a note saying:

“Dear Campers,

       You will be cut by my wife, Bessy, (my lovely blade) into small pieces. Then, I will put you in skewers and between each piece will be an eyeball. When I plate you, to garnish, I will pour your blood on them and I will put a dip made from your guts and capillaries, then, as the final touch, a sprinkle of hair and teeth.

       See you soon. Hahahahahaha!

Lovingly,

The Chef of Death”

       “Oh My God! This “Chef” is crazy!”, Sam said, “ We’re gonna die!”, Jen added frantically. “I’m going to find my own way out. Who’s with me?”, Julia proposed. “You can’t go because he might be waiting at any corner and when we stick together, he won’t attack”, Matt said. “Well, I’m going anyway. I’m sick of your wimpiness”, she said.

       As soon as she arrived at the edge of the road, a rusted blade appeared cutting Julia’s head. “I told you so”, Matt shouted. The chef got out from the bushes and ran towards them. Obviously, they ran, but Matt was a bit late since the others got a head start.  At that moment, the chef threw his trusty knife and it came right in the middle of his back breaking his spinal cord.

       Afterwards, he went slowly to the other corpse, thus holding both cadavers on his shoulders. The teens ran away into the field. In it, they found an abandoned house. They went into it and found a restaurant-like living room with beheaded people hung from the walls, and instead of the tablecloth is a puddle of blood and organs.

       Sam stood in awe and said:”Oh my Gosh!”. Suddenly, rumbling and crackling was heard outside; it was the Chef! Sam and Will ran up the stairs to hide in one of the rooms, and Jen hid in a tiny room under the banisters.

       When the Chef got in, he got one body and put it on a table and started butchering it; closely separating each edible object from the non-edible. Jen was breathing very lightly not moving a muscle, watching his every move.

       Upstairs, Will and Samantha were hiding in apparently a bedroom. Then, they started searching the drawers to see who this “Chef” was. In them, they found an old graduation degree from one of the best culinary schools in the world and an old newspaper article:

“Famous Chef Went Crackers!

Earlier this day, The Famous Chef known as Chef Blade attacked one of his customers since the customer said, “The food tasted like a rock, so tasteless, hard and dry”. The Chef took his trusty blade, “Bessy”, and stabbed the man in his back, then cut him in half and followed by slashing each half into smaller pieces…”

       “What? He is crazy! But the page is cut off, so we didn’t know what happened! We didn’t know what happened to the customer!”, Sam said. “Plus, we did not know what his real name is! But, what’s in this envelope, maybe its his birth certificate or any other thing that may help?”, proposed Will. When he was going there, he tripped from the blood puddle and smacked on the ground.

       "What was that?”, Chef mumbled roughly. He left everything he was holding and went quickly upstairs. Will and Sam quickly hid in separate places: Will in the bathroom and Sam in the 

bedroom closet. “Who is here? Come out, come out wherever you are”, Chef said “playfully”. Then, he heard hard breathing coming from the closet. Tak! Crack! He threw his rusty knife to the closet and cut Sam’s head in half.

       Meanwhile, downstairs, Jennifer carefully got out of the “room”; it took her about fifteen minutes to go out. Ignoring the screaming of Sam’s agony, she ran as quickly as can while being very chary.

       Returning to the house, Chef heard heavy breathing coming from the bathroom, so he tiptoed there gradually, inch by inch. Then, he heard rattling, thus he opened the door and stabbed Will on the closest place he could find. He pulled him and put him on the ground and telling him:

“I know each and everyone of you. You are the smart one in the group. Samantha is the snob; she only cares for herself. Julia is stubborn and stupid, sorry for the word. Bill is naïve and a “joker”. Matt is so protective yet he does not think things fully. Jennifer is so careful and a wimp… speaking of Jennifer, where is she?”

       Then, he took the carving knife, cut his forehead vertically, took his brain, and stepped on it. “Now, that’s your consequence for being smart”, the Chef, said. He quickly ran down the stairs to find the banister room’s door open and the front yard door, too. “She got away! But no fear, I will see her soon.”, he said.

       As soon as Jennifer got to the street, she saw a police car, thus she waved and shouted to grab his attention. He quickly stopped and let her in. “What’s wrong?”, the policeman questioned. “A crazy man killed all my friends, but fortunately I got away”, she answered.” Let’s go there”, he said.

       They cut through the fields as fast as they can and arrived at the house.” Let us go in. Don’t be scared I’m with you”, he said. The instant they came in, the Chef was waiting for them. The police officer closed the door and said “Hello, father.”
