Sad Short Dark Stories

Part 1- Goodnight Mommy

Sitting up in their bed, was a small little girl. She had olive skin, black hair, with very dark brown eyes, almost black... Her voice was soft, and her screams are silent. Her black hair was messy, or looked rather like a "birds nest" her family would call it.

Her name was-

"ALEXA!" Screeched her mother.

Alexa flinches, and grinds her teeth. She's always hated her mother... all the demandings, all the chores, all the screeching and yelling and complaining! It was driving her absolutely insane! She had to silence her mother's mouth, once and for all.

Swiftly swinging her legs off her bed, and the soft pitter patter of her feet on her carpeted floor, she walked over to her small, little dresser and pulled out one of her drawers, flinging it across the room. She slowly reached her hand into the all the way and searched softly, looking for the knife she had hidden behind there. she accidentally pricked the tip of her finger.

Pulling out the knife, she slowly -only to be careful- ,put it on her waistband on her pants, and pulled down her shirt over it covering it so no one will know it was there. She grinned and flinched as her mother strained her voice screaming her name.

" I'm coming for you mother..." She whisperd. She quickly ran out of her room and down the stairs for her mother. She peeked around the corner to see a dimly lighted room, and smoke in the air.

There was a beaten up couch and recliner, Both an ugly blue. The tv was was on but was speaking with static. The carpet was covered in stains and white powder... Alexa could never figure out what the white powder was, but she always saw her mother use it by sucking it thru her nose.

Her mother was sitting there in the middle of the couch with her feet on the broken coffee table, it was covered in the same white power, ciggerette buds, beer cans and bottles. Her mother looked like she was just skin and bones... none of her clothes fit her any more. she was wearing a white tank top and blue short shorts... bother not fitting her body properly.

"Yes ma'am?" Alexa asked. after her father's passing, her mother never let her call her 'mom' or 'mommy'.. only ma'am. Her mother not wanting to be reminded of her late husband...

"Get your ass over here, you peice of shit." Her mother barked. Slowly Alexa listened to her mother's commands, standing in front of her. Alexa was shocked. Her mother was pale. Her face was scarred.. but her brown eyes were filled with tears.

"mo- i mean ma'am, what's wrong?" Alexa stopped and corrected herself. Her mother dried her eyes on a pillow next to her.

"Jamasen is coming over,v and i don't want him knowing i have a kid." Her mother motioned for her to head up stairs and get dressed. Alexa started to head up to her room when her mother called, "Go to Lee-la's. Don't come home tonight." Alexa nodded, and felt a small pain shoot across her chest...

"Yes ma'am.." Alexa said softly.

It's been 10 minutes and Alexa was still thinking on how to end her mother's life. She put on her jeans, and yellow t-shirt, grabbing her sneakers she grabbed her barbie backpack and filled it with her clothes, and as she was walking across the room she saw something that caught her eye.

Under her bed was a small picture.. she reached for it and she could feel her eyes start to tear up. it was a picture of her father, mother, and her.. Her father's olive skin, and dark brown eyes were shining with happiness. His black hair was combed back, and he was holding her on his shoulders.

Her mother was healthy.. not too skinny; like she is now. She had beautiful blonde hair, and light brown eyes. Her smile was filled with beauty... Unlike now, now it's filled with hatred. Her beautiful blonde hair is greasy, and chopped up. Her light brown eyes dull, nothing special about them now...

"I'm sorry mommy did this to you daddy.. i'll get your revenge." Alexa whispered to herself. She quickly shoved the photo in her back pocket, and started for the stairs once more.

Slowly sneaking into the kitchen, Alexa set her bag near the door, and slowly started for the living room. She snuck up behind her mother, and held the knife. She raised her hand over her head, about to slam it down and stab her mother's skull in, but she couldn't end her this quickly... no..

Alexa has to make it last..

As the little girl turned the knife, and hit her mother over the head with it, she grinned a big smile and started to giggle. Her mother jumped in surprise, and held a hand over her heart.

"You little piece of shit! How dare you scare me!" Slowly, the mother started to turn. "I should beat you senseless you little fu-" She stopped as Alexa smacked her across the face with the dull end of the knife. The grown women held her nose and cried out in pain..

Alexa broke her nose. The little girl started to smile as she watched as some of her mother's blood gushed from her nose, none stopping.

"Hehe... mother, remember when you broke my nose?" Alexa started to giggle. "Or when you pushed me down the stairs, and i had to get stitches on my arm?" Slowly she swept the knife against her mother's cheek.

Her mother gasped, and reached for her cheek, whimpering in the pain. The older women's heart racing, her eyes stinging, and started to tear up... "S-stop!" Her mother cried out.

"No. You did this to me, and now it's time for your medicine.." Alexa giggled and tilted her head to the side and started to yell, "No mommy! Stop it! Please! It hurts!" She looked her mother and frowned upon her...

"Sound familiar mother?" She growled. "Because those are my words, and now i want to hear you beg.. beg for your life before i kill you."

"H-how do you plan on getting rid of my body?! Huh? Stupid little cunt of a girl! The police won't believe a word you say!" The older women started to panic. Was her daughter actually going to... going to kill her? No.. Impossible... Right?

"Easy. I'll chop you to bits, splatter your blood on the wall, and blame it all on your boyfriend." Alexa raises the knife, "Have a nice sleep mother..." Alexa slammed the knife down on her mother's head, repeatedly. Her blood splattering everywhere.. her skull caving in..

Slowly and ever so tenderly Alexa started to cut off her head.. then her arm.. her legs.. hands... feet... everything... it her good few hours, but she had slaughtered her mother...

She called admired her work as the pool of blood was soaked into the carpet. Her feet stained red, as she started to jump around in the soggy carpet, she rolled around, licked the carpet... she giggled, but then she heard a car door slam shut...

Thinking fast she grabbed the knife and quickly sliced her arm, cheeks and legs.. she hissed at the stinging pain, but then wiped off the handle and she grabbed the phone running upstairs, turning off the light. She ran up and into her room, dialing 9-1-1.

"Hello, this is 9-1-1, what's your emergency?" A ladies voice asked. Alexa began to fake cry into the phone quietly..

"H-help! My mommies boyfriend killed my mommy, and is a-after m-me!" Alexa's voice quivered..

She heard the door open, and slam shut making her jump, and whisper into the phone, "Hurry!"

Slowly the door opened and slammed shut as a tall man walked into the room. He wore a jean jacket, and jeans... that was it. No shoes... socks... shirt... Nothing. "Lacey." The man yelled, sniffing the air... it smelled like death. He turned on the light and froze at the bloody horror in front of him.

He saw on the couch was the knife, he started to walk over the pool of blood, and slipped, falling into it. He stood and grabbed the knife. He growled as the blood got everywhere on him.. on his scarred face, into his blond hair, and under his blue eyes. He heard sirens, and the door was kicked open as policemen started shouting and saw him standing there holding the knife.

Alexa ran down stairs hearing the commotion and the shouting. She cried, running behind one of the policemen. They arrested the "boyfriend" and took the little girl in an ambulance that had just arrived. On her way to the hospital, she grinned evilly out the window at the man as he was being pushed into the back seat of the police car.

Whispering softly Alexa said,

"Goodnight, mommy.."
