One of the saddest things in the world is to give up on your dreams. Don't allow anyone to tell you that you're not good enough! We all make mistakes. We can't make everyone happy. Not everyone is going to like us or our work. Write anyway. #authorsofinstagram #writingcommmunity

... This time they have a witness, the cellmate, who saw Charles disappear and reappear in the blink of an eye. There’s a full room behind the two-way mirror. A doctor prepares to ask the first question. Charles interrupts. “She let me #devour her soft parts.” ... #vss365 #Horror

... “She ‘let you’ devour her soft parts? Charles, who is ‘She’?” “She is the perfect victim. She’s every little girl I’ve molested and killed, and others I’ve never seen before. She reaps crops of pain and suffering from the foul #dirt of my very soul!” ... #vss365 #Horror

... “She opens a void in her shape, and I’m suddenly on just the other side. I can see this world standing still as she asks if I followed her instructions.” “And what exactly is this ‘void,’ Mister Hecter?” “It’s the entrance to her own personal oblivion.” ... #vss365 #Horror

... “I see, Mister Hester. And what are the girl’s instructions?” “To imagine things I never did with my victims.” “And then ...?” “Everything I need is there for me.” “And this little girl just lets you do what you imagined?” “Oh yes! While my #soul watches!” ... #vss365 #Horror

... “Your soul watches? What do you mean by that?” “She removes it and sets aside to watch and absorb all of the guilt, torment, and pain I experience and inflict. They’re nearly #invincible. It’s no wonder suffering can be cultivated from souls for so long.” ... #vss365 #Horror

... “I see, Mister Hecter. So this little girl is inspiring your imagination and fantasies?” “She’s done so much more. She’s shined lights into the darkest corners of the #cellar of my mind, and drawn up horrors and perversions I would’ve never thought of!” ... #vss365 #Horror

... “So, you rape, torture, and kill this girl, and then you’re back here in our world, and then she brings you back to her world to rape, torture, and kill her again? How is she #alive again, Mister Hecter?” “Her name is Suffering, and Suffering is eternal.” ... #vss365 #Horror

... “Her name is literally, ‘Suffering,’ and the blood from her magically swirls about in the air as you carry out the acts you imagined since her last visit? Do you realize how fantastical your #horror story sounds?” “Yes. But she’s going to let me prove it!” ... #vss365 #Horror

... “Look at me, Doc. Now walk out. Slam the door.” The doctor acquiesces with a grin, leaves the room, and swings the door hard. Just as the door is about to slam shut a #shriek is heard as blood sprays from inside the room just before the door shuts tight. ... #vss365 #Horror

... Immediately the doctor swings the door back open. There’s blood everywhere. The skin of a little girl’s face is stuck to the wall. Hecter is free of his bindings and stands naked and breathing hard. “Do you understand how #grave this scenario is, Doc?! ... #vss365 #Horror

... “See her face on the wall, Doc?! That’s the beautiful little face of Suffering! That is the #eternal demoness who cultivates the suffering I inflict, and who will one day begin cultivating suffering from my soul! She’ll use it to create more suffering!” ... #vss365 #Horror

... A scream is heard from behind the two-way mirror. Charles Hecter just stands there giggling. The doctor is in utter disbelief of the grotesqueries suddenly before him. Donning a latex glove he lays two fingers in the #warm blood for tactile reconciliation. ... #vss365 #Horror

... The bloodied interrogation room is silent. Then, as if to add to the reality of this manifested fantasy, the gurgling croak of a #raven reverberates throughout the room. The remainder of Charles Hecter’s life sentences becomes an exercise of observation. ... #vss365 #Horror

... Charles Hecter’s remaining imprisonment was recorded in every way. The little girl’s last visit was the day he died. One last great bloodbath, but still no other evidence. On camera, like a #fuse had blown, he was suddenly dead ending the Tale of Two Monsters. #vss365 #Horror
