CHAPTER 5

The door opened and all Michelle Stevensen heard was footsteps and whispers. The footsteps and whispers came closer and she heard the same familiar verse…

“…know ye not that these things area an abomination in the sight of the LORD; yea, most abominable above all sins save it shedding of innocent blood or denying the Holy Ghost? For behold, if ye deny the Holy Ghost when it once has had place in you, and ye know that ye deny it, behold, this is a sin which is unpardonable; yea, and whosoever murdereth against the light and knowledge of God shall be guilty of such a great crime. I will not dwell upon your crime, to harrow up your soul, if it not for your own good. Michelle I am your executioner. You have been found guilty for your sins and your punishment will commence in 24 hours. May God have mercy upon your soul even though the murder of the innocent you committed showed no mercy upon that soul! …know ye not…”

The footsteps and whispers went back out the way they came.

“I wish I knew what I am being punished for…” Michelle had cried all her tears out. She remembered what the girl before her had said just before she was taken, “My name is Karen, do you know what day it is?”

Michelle dry heaved, there was nothing left in her stomach to throw up and dry heaves were all she had left. That and the darkness.

“Her name is Karen!’ Michelle kept repeating the name like it was a mantra until she slipped into unconsciousness. Michelle awoke to hysterical sobs,

“Karen is that you?” Michelle asked tentatively

“NO!” the girl screamed “I’m Alicia.” The girl was sobbing terrified and yelling.

Michelle tried to move closer to Alicia but she had a hard time moving. Her muscles were tight and unresponsive.

“Shhhhh” Michelle said trying to do her best to soothe the newest arrival.

“Who is Karen?” Alicia asked when she had settled down.

“She was here before me.” Michelle said silently. “My name is Michelle; do you know what day it is?”

“I think it is Thursday?” Alicia responded trying to hold back the sobbing. Suddenly the girls heard the door open, then footsteps and whispers.

Alicia started screaming again. Michelle put her hands over her ears and before she knew it, she felt her hair being pulled and she was trailing her killer up the stairs. When they got to the top of the stairs Michelle could only see bright light everywhere. It was blinding. She couldn’t focus on anything.

“You are a coward!” Michelle yelled out at the Whisperer.

The Whisperer did nothing but say the same passage over and over.

Michelle felt herself being placed in a hard chair; she felt straps being adjusted around her so she could not move. Then coming from behind, her eyes were covered with tape.

Moving in front of Michelle, the Whisperer pushed her back into the chair by the shoulders and Michelle screamed out in pain.

“What do you want from me?” Michelle screamed at the top of her lungs. She felt her hair being cut and then her head was shaved.

“Do you repent Michelle?” The Whisperer asked. “If you repent you will be forgiven.”

“I didn’t do anything, you coward, let me see you!” Michelle screamed again.

The Whisperer asked again if Michelle repented. Nothing was said. The Whisperer bent down and said “You will be given eternal life.” And then there was a sharp pain in her chest. Michelle died instantly.

The Whisperer unstrapped the dead girl, quickly undressed her, disemboweled her, cut out her uterus and then cut off Michelle’s ears. Then with a sharp poker he stabbed through to her ear drums to pierce them. The Whisperer cleaned her body, put a small amount of makeup on the dead girl’s face and then went to gather the supplies needed to dispose of Michelle Stevensen.
