Texas Chainsaw

July 15, 2013

Blood splattered against the walls as the figure with the chainsaw dismembered young Sarah Collins. Her best friend, Ashley, was hidden underneath the dining room table, eyes wide as the weapon tore through Sarah's body. Ashley clamped her mouth shut, feeling the hot spray of her best friend's blood raining down upon her.

She crawled quickly from her hiding spot and aimed for the stairs. Like a viper, the man wearing the human-skin mask grabbed Ashley by the hair and slammed her head into a nearby wall.

Suddenly, Ashley woke up. She was tied securely to a chair in the middle of the dining room, surrounded by the deranged family who had killed her friends. Directly across from her, she saw her best friend, Sarah, clearly half-dead and half-alive. A woman was calmly cutting Sarah's blonde hair while the family while Sheriff Hoyt, ladled steaming bowls of "human soup" for the group.

Ashley struggled against the ropes, but escape was impossible. Then, the man in the human-skin mask walked through the door, holding the blood-soaked chainsaw. He sat down at the table and stared directly at Ashley, who was terrified and crying hysterically.

"You people are inbreds!" she screamed, tears streaming down her face.

Sheriff Hoyt slammed a hand down on the table. "Bitch, you don't know a damn thing about me and my family! Now shut the fuck up and eat!"

"Fuck you!" Ashley shouted back defiantly. "Go to hell, you fucking bastard!"

The Sheriff slammed his fists on the table again. "Tommy, shut this little bitch up!"

Tommy rose slowly from his seat and walked toward Ashley.
"NO! GET AWAY FROM ME!" Ashley shrieked, thrashing against the chair.

"Take her down to the basement!" the Sheriff commanded. "You can do whatever you want to her!"

Tommy moved behind Ashley and began to untie her arms. Sheriff Hoyt gave a slow, deliberate nod. Tommy hoisted her into his arms and carried her, kicking and screaming, down to the basement. As they descended, Ashley saw the Sheriff laughing a cruel, high-pitched laugh as he picked up a knife and stabbed her best friend, Sarah, in the head. Tommy carried Ashley into the basement, tied her to a bed, and violently raped her. Her desperate screams were muffled by the thick stone walls.

May 21, 2014, Nine Months Later

Nine months had passed, and Ashley was still held captive in Tommy's basement. She was now nine months pregnant with his child. Suddenly, her water broke, and the agonizing process of labor began. Ashley screamed in pain as her contractions intensified. As she pushed, blood gushed from her body. After the delivery, she began losing a significant amount of blood from the severe tearing caused by the birth. The newborn lay beside her, crying, while Ashley remained securely tied to the bed frame.

When Hoyt and Tommy's mother came down into the basement to investigate the noise, she saw the baby crying. She used a knife to cut the umbilical cord and then picked the infant up.

"It's a boy!" she declared, looking down at the weakened Ashley.

"Give me my baby!" Ashley demanded weakly. "Give me my son!"

The woman walked up the stairs with the newborn, taking it to her bedroom to nurse it. Ashley lay alone, weeping in the darkness.

Seeing an opportunity, she discovered that the knot binding her wrist had come loose during the struggle of the birth. Ashley quickly broke free and ran, driven by sheer terror and desperation, heading out to find help.
