Creepy horror tales

Mordecai

Now, surely you’ve heard of the term 'take a chill pill,' right? It was originally based on a drug whose major side

effect is death. This was used as an insult or to tell someone to go kill themselves. This was a popular

hallucinogen in the 1600s. It is a slang term for the Bvbpasta drug HK-447. There weren't many drugs easily

available back then so this was the best choice. This drug is notoriously known for its side effects, some of the

biggest being death and very strange hallucinations, some of which have been described as horrifying; some have

even dared to call them evil. There have been some recorded cases of suicide after taking the drug and other cases

have been sent to a mental hospital for physiological trauma. Another side effect is a very serious addiction. This

means after even a couple hits your body could become dependent on the drug.

The hallucinations start out fun and crazy. There were also no rehab centers in the 1600s, which is why it had

such an appeal and a high rate of addiction, but the more this drug is used, the more dark and twisted it becomes.

The horrific hallucinations combined with the addiction can cause very severe physiological trauma and suffering

until you eventually die. With no rehab centers back then, there were many suicides as a result of never being able

to escape the drug.

One of the victims was my lost uncle Mordecai. The reason I called him my uncle Mordecai is because he is

actually one of my lost relatives. Thanks to the internet, I was able to trace my heritage back to the 1600s where I

found the caption 'Mordecai the murderer.' It sent me to a blank page with a download link. Above the download

link there were a few sentences written in bold and all caps: 'Please leave now. Erase all data from this site. There

is no way to delete this. Don’t make my mistake. He will stop anyone who knows his plan at all costs. Please

believe me, some things are better kept a secret.' I just assumed this was trying to scare me as a stupid joke or

maybe to set the mood for the story. To this day, I still regret clicking that download button. Maybe, just maybe, I

could’ve saved my life and the lives of my friends and family.

I opened the file and it showed some disturbing pictures, several news clippings, and some stories. I found out

Mordecai was heavily addicted to the HK-447 and was a victim of the hallucinations. Before he died, some of his friends had said that the hallucinations—or as he called them, “visions”—spoke to him and told him secrets and how they would save him. No one knows what the secrets are or what he was supposed to be saved from.

After two months of heavily taking HK-447, he started to kidnap children whose ages ranged from newborns to 11.

Witnesses said they saw him whispering in the children’s ears before he took them but could never hear clearly what he was saying. As these incidents went on, the word spread to protect your child and to lock your doors and windows in the local area. This is when he started to get more violent. Anyone who tried to protect their child was brutally killed with what appeared to be a large kitchen knife. Some victims were stabbed in the chest and ripped open exposing their organs. Others he would beat senseless until they were dead or knocked out, causing severe
