It was a wonderful sunny day. A blond girl named Lucy was playing with her two friends
in her home's backyard. They wouldn't stop asking her about her birthday party, which
would be celebrated pretty soon. She would boast proudly about how great it was all going
to be: A lot of friends would come, the cake would be red velvet with four layers, and
she would be using a beautiful blue dress.
A car stopped at the entrance and Alex came out of it, Lucy's young personal steward,
carrying her new dress. He looked at the girls with resentment – he hated his job… and
he hated receiving orders from a spoiled child. Lucy rushed towards Alex, asking him to let
her try out the new dress. With a forced smile he said that her mother didn't allow it, but
Lucy just kept on insisting. Completely fed up of it all, Alex decided to execute the
plan he had been preparing for months.
He walked Lucy to her room so she could try out the dress, while he waited outside. A
while later she came out, and flaunted her new dress proudly. When she was about to go
show it to her friends, Alex grabbed her by the arm and dragged her to the car, giving
her no time to react. He threw her to the back seat, and drove away from the house.
"Don't worry… you will LOVE your new home…"
Terrified, Lucy didn't try to escape, she was afraid Alex would hurt her. They eventually
arrived to a far-away crossroad, where Alex met with an older man of about 40 years old,
corpulent, and with an unkempt appearance. "Let me introduce you to Christopher Grey.
From now on, you work for him. Enjoy your new life!" Alex was left counting a wad of
bills, while Lucy cried in the back of Christopher's moving van.
Once they arrived to the house of her new master, Lucy was put in charge of everything:
She had to work day and night, without rest, and her appearance started to deteriorate.
Her skin turned pale, with bags under her eyes, covered in filth, and with her beautiful
blue dress now ragged. She did all she could to not anger Christopher: She cleaned and
cooked diligently, while he only ate, drank, and slept.
However, Lucy wouldn't stop thinking about how to escape from that place. She knew that
the main door was always locked, and she needed time to search for the key. One day she found
Christopher's medications, with pills that produced heavy sleepiness. She gradually put
doses of the pills in Christopher's food until she found the perfect dose which would give
her enough time to carry out her plan.
Her birthday arrived, and she couldn't stop thinking about how much she missed her family
and friends. Thus, she decided that would be the day. After eating, Christopher fell
asleep, and she searched for the key all over the house. She checked all of the wardrobes,
all of the drawers… but found nothing. However, she had a sudden idea:
She went back to the living room, where Christopher was sleeping, and very carefully checked his
pockets. She finally found a key, but it was smaller than the door's lock. She looked around,
and tried the key on one of the drawers in the living room chest. She opened it, and
found a bigger key inside, and a photo album. It had a bunch of photos of young kids, all
of them with a worried expression. She kept passing the pages, and at the end found more
photos of the same kids… but all murdered and mutilated.
She dropped the book in terror, and rushed towards the door with the key. She managed
to open it and run towards the forest, but the noise awoke Christopher, who ran after
her. Almost out of breath, Lucy tripped and fell into a deep ditch. She looked around,
and horrified saw she was surrounded with the corpses of the kids in the photos – some
of the bodies were still decomposing, while others were now skeletons.
Christopher caught up to her, and dragged her back to the house. "I hope ya had fun
with yar new friends… coz yar gonna go back to them soon." She begged for forgiveness,
and implored for her life. "Let's see if ya learn not to put yar paws where you shouldn't!!"
He grabbed an ax, and cut off one of her arms with a swift chop. She screamed in pain, and
to shut her up he raised his ax once more, and unloaded it right on her head, taking
her life.
After throwing her body back into the ditch, Christopher sat on his couch and turned on
the TV to watch the news: The police had captured Alex as a suspect involved in Lucy's disappearance,
and he had confessed. Soon, they’d be going after him. He rushed to his room to pack his
things and flee from his house as soon as possible. Once ready, as he was about to leave,
he saw the photo album on the floor, in front of the house.
"You are a heartless evil man. You will regret what you've done. Don't think you will get
away with this."
He heard laughter, and when he raised his head he saw in front of him the spirits of
the kids he murdered, with Lucy in front of them. Suddenly, a piercing screech started
to sound, and his eyes started to bleed. He went out of the house screaming in pain, and
saw himself surrounded by many police patrols which had arrived to detain him. He dropped
to their feet, imploring: "Make 'em shut up, pleaaaaaase!!!"
Weeks later we see him imprisoned in a padded cell of a mental asylum, and wearing a straitjacket.
Out of nowhere he started to hear laughter… and everything started again. Lucy approached
him, with a naked skull for a face, eyes that popped out of her eye-sockets, and sharp teeth.
"I told you that you wouldn't get away with this." The other kids grabbed him, and she
burst open his chest. She started ripping out his entrails, while Christopher choked
in his own blood. "Can you hear them laughing?"
