Vacation of Hell

Grandpa's Turn

Mindy covered her ears as the girl kept screaming. The boys laughed as Nubbins continued mocking her cries.

"No need to torture the poor girl!" Drayton finally said getting up.

"You shut up!" Nubbins said. "Remember you're just the cook."

"Everyone just shut up!" Mindy screamed.

Everyone stopped yelling and looked at her.

"For crying out loud", she sighed getting up. "Just kill the bitch and get it over with."

The girl started screaming again. Nubbins nodded to Mindy.

"Me and him will take care of this", he said pointing at Thomas.

"Get on with it", Drayton said leaving. "I won't have any of this."

Nubbins smiled at the girl as he sat back down.

"We ain't in no hurry", he said. "You ain't going no place."

Drayton came back raising his fist toward Nubbins.

"Didn't you hear me?" he yelled.

"I heard you didn't tell me much!"

He lowered his fist and walked away.

"No sense in waiting. I gotta open up tomorrow."

"Yes, I need some rest too", Mindy said. "It's been such a long day."

Drayton walked back into the kitchen. Nubbins and Thomas walked over to grandpa ready to take him back upstairs.

"I've been", Nubbins started. "I've been thinking about letting grandpa have some fun. You always said he's the best."

"He's the best, alright", Drayton said coming back.

"Let's let him have a whack."

Nubbins smiled as he looked at grandpa as he just sat there.

"Hey, grandpa! We're going to let you have this one!"

The girl started screaming again. Mindy covered her ears growing extremely annoyed with her.

"Will someone please shut her up?" she said. "Let grandpa kill her and get it over with!"

"Let's let him have a whack", Nubbins giggled.

He ran into the kitchen getting a metal bucket and Mindy's sledgehammer. Drayton looked at the girl and walked toward her.

"Now you... you just hush", he said. "It won't hurt none. Why, old grandpa's the best killer there ever was."

Thomas and Nubbins pulled grandpa's chair away from the table.

"Why, it never took more than one lick they say. Maybe 60 in five minutes once. He could've done more if the hook and pull gang could've gotten the beefs out of the way faster."

"That has to be a made up story", Mindy chuckled. "Tommy and I worked at the meat factory back at home. We never saw anyone do that."

"That's because there's no one else like grandpa", Drayton said glaring at her.

He, Thomas and Mindy watched as Nubbins untied the girl from her chair.

"Now don't you cry none. Old grandpa's the best. It won't hurt a bit."

"No!" the girl screamed as he pulled her out of the chair towards grandpa.

Thomas put the sledgehammer in grandpa's hand. Because of his extremely old age, grandpa wasn't able to hold the hammer on his own. Thomas held it in place as he wrapped his bony fingers around the handle. Everyone watched as Nubbins made the girl bend over with her head over the bucket.

"Hit her, grandpa!" he said.

Thomas let go of the sledgehammer, letting grandpa drop it onto the floor. He picked it up and put it back in his hand. The girl screamed and tried to pull away from Nubbins. Thomas let go again letting the hammer fall over again.

"Get her, grandpa!"

Thomas put the hammer back in grandpa's hand again and again, but grandpa kept dropping it.

"Come on, let me do it!" Mindy said getting frustrated.

"Hit that bitch!" Nubbins said as Thomas put the sledgehammer back in grandpa's hand.

Thomas sighed as the hammer fell into the bucket. He picked it up again and put it back in grandpa's hand only to have it fall over again.

"Come on! Come on! Get her!" Drayton cheered laughing.

This time Thomas kept his fingers wrapped around grandpa's hand as he brought the hammer down, finally landing a blow on the girl's head. Everyone cheered as blood gushed from her head.

"Come on", Drayton said jumping up and down, clapping his hands. "Get her grandpa!"

Nubbins finally started to grow impatient.

"Give me that! I'll do it myself!"

"No, let me do it!" Mindy said. "It's my job!"

"Give me the hammer!"

The girl finally pulled away from Nubbins and ran out of the dining room. She ran into the den where she jumped out the window.

"She got away!" Mindy said.

"What are you waiting for?" Drayton said. "Get her!"

Thomas ran into the kitchen to get his chainsaw. Mindy picked up her sledgehammer out of the bucket and followed Nubbins to the front door. The girl limped and ran away from the house. Mindy knew by from the light it was now dawn.
