Short Horror Stories

Fallen Victim to Cadell Talon

During the weekend afternoon of May 13th, there was a suspected murderer on the loose and the police think they have found the culprit of these gruesome murders. But questions had to be asked for this man in particular to give a clear answer.

The officer walked into the tight, claustrophobic room. A man sat at the table, chained to the floor by his ankle. The officer took a seat in front of him, the man was wearing dark colored clothes that were almost the perfect shape of the man's figure.

"I'm officer Dair, I have a few questions to ask since you didn't answer my buddy from before."

The man remained silent, not looking up from the desk in front of him. The officer sighed, messing with some papers before speaking again.

"Where were you on the night of the murder of Austin Peters?"

The man looked up at the officer, looking a little irritated.

"I told you, I was at home watching TV."

"Do you have anyone who can confirm that?"

"Not really, I live alone."

Dair nodded, writing some things on the paper in front of him. The man raised an eyebrow, rolling his eyes before the officer spoke again.

"Did you communicate with anyone while watching TV?"

"Yes, I texted my friend, Mike."

"We can check your phone records to verify. Is there anything else you'd like to share?"

"No, I stand by my story."

Officer Dair nodded again, taking notes.

"You're doing very well, Cadell. Just a few more questions."

"And remind me why I have to answer? Don't I have the right to remain silent."

Dair nodded, smiling slightly before getting up.

"I have to go confirm these real quick, alright?"

Cadell nodded, looking away from the officer in black. Once he had left, Cadell couldn't help but laugh slightly, putting his hands on the metal table and clawing at it until there was crimson liquid to be seen. His nails were crying in pain as he continued to do it when Officer Dair came back in, looking confused.

"Now, Cadell.. Why, may I ask, are you doing that?"

"It makes me happy."

"Hurting yourself? Makes you happy?"

"Yes, sir."

"Have you done anything like this before?"

Officer Dair asked, sitting down in the chair again.

"Yes, yes I have, actually."

"And why would you do that?"

"I already answered this! It makes me happy!"

"Does harming others make you happy as well?"

"Well.."

Cadell went quiet, looking around the room.

"No.. not really."

"Then why did you hurt-"

"I wanted to end his suffering! I made him an angel!"

"...What do you mean you made him an angel?"

"Well.. He always said how he wanted to die when I met him!"

"And how did you meet him?"

"Haha, I was his quote, unquote, therapist since he couldn't afford one so he met me through a dating app to find someone to talk to."

"So.. Why did you end him and, as you stated, make him an angel? We've only found his ring finger in a field."

"Oh.. Yeahh, he was talking about getting married to his girlfriend so I thought if I cut it off then he couldn't get married."

"Why would you do that?"

"I wouldn't have been able to make him an angel if he was happy."

"Why didn't you want him to be happy?"

"My god, you're stupid, sir! He wanted to die first! So he could be happy after death."

"So you killed him?"

"Killed? No. I said this, I turned him into an angel."

"How?"

"Haha! We were talking about how much he wished he was dead so I said what if I did it for you? And he obliged with a laugh!"

"Do you think he was joking? Or thought you were?"

"What? No! Well.. maybe.. But let me finish, I broke into his house that night and found him sleeping on the couch, his girlfriend was probably mad at him or something. So I hit him in the head with a lamp and took him to my house. Where I then went to my shed, layed him on his stomach and restrained him with chains. I grabbed my knife and cut down his spine, he woke up and started screaming: 'AH! Stop! Why are you doing this, Cadell?!'.. stuff like that.."

"Then what happened?"

"I turned his rib cage out of his spine and made him wings! It was a struggle but I made his dream come true."

"Well.. thank you for all of this information, I'll be right back."

"Do you want to be an angel?"

Officer Dair took a deep breath, turning around. Cadell was inches away from him and the lights flickered. The room wasn't an interrogation room at all, there was a loud scream then silence.. Another victim to the hands of Cadell Talon.

The question was when did the officer realize it was just a set up house. Cadell drugged him and gave him hallucination pills, making him think he was in the interrogation room
