Short Horrors From My Mind

Sweet Sweet Pastries

Delilah:

I chop up the strawberries before smashing them into a jelly like paste and filling up my pastries. You see, I own a pastry shop. I love cooking my sweet sweet pastries. 

Except I make mine a little different. 

"Help! Help! Please don't listen you don't have to do this! I have a daughter!" I smack the woman on the floor behind the counter. "Shut up Bitch." I yell before digging my heel into the side of her head until she screams and a blood vessel pops. I reach down and say, "Do you want to die fast?" She nods her head tears running down her face.

"Too bad." I kiss her temple then drag her to the back room. I gag her with her own sock and hang her upside down I slit her throat enough to drip and kill her slowly. I slice her wrists and let them hang down blood drips from her body and I smile. But it is not dripping fast enough. So I deepen the wounds and wait until all the blood is gone from her body. 

I closed the shop early so I could steal from her body. I took off her skin and took pieces of muscle to add to my jelly. Once I am finished with her I call my helper. "David, I have another body to dispose of. Yes, she is or was my new employee. No trust me they will never think of me. I will take her daughter in and house her. Because I was her mommy's best friend." I laugh full heartedly and think of feeding the little girl the pastries I make out of her mommy.

"Anyway come get the body it needs to be gone by morning. Yes I know I will clean the blood and mess myself just get here and get the damn body." I hang up the phone pissed. I swear my twin brother is so annoying. He owns a restaurant that takes the meat from my bodies and uses it in his culinary dishes. Then he gets rid of the body by feeding it to his 'pets'. Basically a mom, a dad, and a daughter that we had found that had been vicious cannibals and took them home and fed them. The only thing that will be left is the bones that they will make jewelry out of.  

I smile and pick up Jade's phone. I call her house phone. "Hello, is this Bella, did your mom make it home safe? I am worried about her she wasn't feeling very well."

"Hey Delilah no mama is not home. But guess what? My tooth is wiggling! The tooth fairy comes soon!" Little Bella is 7 years old and so adorable. Too bad I have to feed her, her mother's flesh. I make dough and fold in her mothers skin. I then make the jelly with strawberries and muscle. I then fold in the jelly into the pastries and fry them. I lick the sweet blood off my fingers and groan at the taste.

In the morning little Bella runs into my shop. She sits at a table and cries. I hand her a pastry and smile. She smells the crust and a confused look comes across her face. "Why does this pastry smell like mama's perfume?" She starts to pick at the crust and finds a slip of skin fully intact. She screams and throws the pastry at me before running out the store. 

My heart is beating wild I am scared. What if she tells the police?

I clean up the mess and decide to make raspberry pastries. A police man walks into my store the next day. He looks at me and says, "You are under arrest Delilah Carter, for the death of Jade Baxter, Danielle Hart, Hattie Nickles, and so many others." I gasp and realize they know, they know all the girls I've killed. He walks into the back room and I start to cry. My brother never came to get the body and I didn't know until now. 

He gags and talks into his walkie talkie. "Yea, we have a serial killer at the Sweet Sweet Pastry shop, it is Miss Delilah herself. It also seems she is a cannibal and has been feeding her victims families the bodies of the victims."

"You are going to be locked up for a long time." He tells me. I laugh and pick up a butcher knife and stab through his chest. Before grabbing my coat and running out into the night. You see this has happened more than once I just need a new state a new identity and a new pastry shop.

I'll never be caught.
