Dealing With The Deadliest [Finished]

|Chapter 2| Past

My mom works in a town  three hundred kilometers from here. I don't know much about my dad. He had passed away when I was very young. I refrained from asking much about dad to my mom since I knew it wasn't something she would be comfortable talking of.

We needed a steady amount of income to keep us going. It took me some years to assure my mom that I'd be totally fine living alone by myself and finally won her trust. She reluctantly agreed and took up a job in the neighbouring town.

I often remember my mother telling me as a child about the Mayor's efforts to turn this town into an Utopia. The Mayor was her unrequited love. She thinks I either don't have the brains to understand that or it's something very impossible. I, for myself, have never seen the Mayor. I have noticed her keeping up the friendly relation till date. They had been in the same school. He is similarly formal and good-natured to my mother, I guess, as expected of any Mayor.

Little did we know that this Utopia we lived in was short-lived and would soon turn into the worst Dystopia known to mankind.

Havoc struck the town on December, 2013 when a nameless mysterious serial killer regularly started killing off twenty people on a daily basis. The victims looked as though they had been mauled to death by an animal, but that was supposedly not the case. As for me, believe me, I had no interest in it. It's the daily schedule. If serial killers don't kill, then who will? I joke.

Under the assumption, that it was probably a man in rage and that it was merely a matter of time before he was caught and sentenced to death, we moved on with life and couldn't care less, but we didn't know that this thing would be as good as interminable.

Breaking News :  Heavensgate, The Rising Dystopia.

Heavensgate, the Utopian town or rather the former Utopian town has witnessed innumerable bloodshed since the past month. The act of crime is assumed to have been committed by a single armed serial killer. Most of the victims are found with their heads smashed or simply separated from the body. While on the other hand, some have been found with slits resulting in the loss of blood that resulted in their occult deaths.

Statistics report that three hundred and ten people have died till date. It won't be long before the entire town is wiped off clean.

Important Information:- A pattern has been recorded amongst most of victims who have died. Most of the victim's families have reported on having received a rose from an unknown sender prior to the victim's death.

"I thought it was sent to him by Louisa, his girlfriend" says Erika as she mourns her brother's untimely death. The same is the deplorable story of the hundreds of mourning families. Anyone receiving roses or anything out of the blue are to notify themselves to the police.

FBI investigators and the main squad have finally taken up the case.

Further reports are to be awaited.

Breaking News:

Bloody Christmas

26.12.13

Let us see what the people have to say about Heavensgate's present situation.

"This is not Christmas. This is the call of Doomsday. It's bloody Christmas..."

Alex,45,father of two has been hospitalised when he opened the door to find the corpses of his sons piled up in a pool of blood.

"He's the coward. Terrifying the innocent people. What does he want? We will stand up and defeat him..."

"It's a monster, not any human..."

Lamelia Jackson, 54, suffered nervous chronic trauma when she found her only son stabbed to death on his bed wrapped up in the now-bloody blanket.

"We are not alone, we will all fight together.."

"He wants to destroy our Utopia. He can never..."

"What is the use of the special forces and the police? Will anyone tell me?..."

"I say we should increase the pressure on the police..They seemed to have turned both blind and deaf..."

"The gradual destruction of the town is maddening.."

"The Mayor is useless..."

Around two hundred families have left the town already and fifty four have notified the police of their evacuation.

It was during this evacuation period that my mother left her job to stay with me. She was worried sick about my safety and concluded that with all these going on it was best if we evacuated as well.

A little after we had made the evacuation plan and notified the police, the killings dropped and stopped ultimately.

We were in a fix but later on decided to stay since I really didn't want to leave my homeland even if it costed me my life.

The next three months went away peacefully as the dawn of a new Utopia started germinating in the minds of all.

Mr. Serial Killer was no more the breaking news and Heavensgate was gradually restoring back to its peaceful ambience. It was around that time my mother decided to continue her job in the next town and I assured her I'd do perfectly fine living alone.

Little did we know that our joy was short lived for it all started once again.
