Insanity: Short Horror Stories

How To Cook Humans

(I will turn this into a real book later)

-Memory-

I sat in the middle of my room in my tan strait jacket giggling. My new nurse came in, "How do you feel Lilly?" she asked gently.

I froze. "I AM NOT LILLY!!" I screamed and tried to reach her but the chain around my waist went taught and dug into my skin.

I didn't stop screaming and and pulled my arms out of my strait jacket clawing at the air. She fell in fear and crawled over to the door and slammed it in my face. I sat back down and started laughing with bloody tears streaming down my face. She came back a few minutes later with an apprehensive face. 'Is she scared?' I tilted my head at her so she got a full look at my dilated bloodshot grey eyes. She gasped and took a step back. "W-Wha-"

"If you're going to stay call me Lil." I gave her a crazed grin and didn't break eye contact.

She just stared at me, "How c-could a s-six year old be so deranged?" she whispered.

"I can answer that!" I giggled when she jumped at my sudden outburst. "Once upon a time a mommy and daddy had a little house with their normal little girl. Then one night a man came into the house and stabbed the daddy and mommy to death, then he took them apart and cooked them!" she gave me a petrified look. I giggled and continued. "The little girl woke up and saw her Mommy's leg on the counter and her Daddy's head on a platter!"

I giggled when she gagged, " The man was in the bathroom dead, and the little girl was hungry." I stopped and stuck out my tongue.

She looked at me expectantly, as if asking me to continue. "She tried to put her parents back together but after five days of eating nothing she decided to eat the man in the bathroom."

The nurse looked at me horrified. "She ate his legs and arms and fell asleep." I licked my lips at the thought of fresh, raw, delicious, human flesh, 'I'm sooo hungry.'

"When she woke up she was in a hospital, she was hungry. She didn't see any regular food and she didn't want to wait. She went into the next room and saw a little boy with bandages on his head, he was very weak and stopped struggling and screaming after she stabbed a pencil through his neck."

The nurse covered her mouth with one of her hands. After giggling a little I decided to keep rambling, no-one had ever let me talk this long. "He tasted better than the man, but a doctor came in and saw her eating his arm. She ran away and came back with a policeman."

The nurse was backed against the wall now with her eyes wide. "He asked the little girl what she was doing. She said, I was hungry sir." I smiled.

"He kept talking to the little girl and he got her to come closer to him. He tackled her and she felt a pinch in her neck, then everything went black."

I closed my eyes and sighed, "She doesn't trust anyone." I bared my teeth at her like an animal and growled.

She ran out screaming,"She's the longest yet!" I giggled.

-End of flashback-

That was nine years ago.

I sat in the middle of the asylum chewing happily on a patient's leg as he screamed and cried for mercy. I paid him no mind and started humming contentedly. He and I were the only two alive now, which would soon change. I got tired of his screaming and grabbed some of his hair and pulled his head towards me. Once close enough I snapped his neck, the sound of his vertebrae snapping very satisfying. "Night, night!"
