Fanaticism Stories

Bishop Elias Thorn preaches purity. His followers call him holy. The police call him something else - a killer. Detective Jonathan Hale doesn't believe in God, but when the murders begin to mirror scripture, he's forced to confront something darker than evil - blind faith. In a city where every prayer ends in blood, two men are about to learn that salvation always comes with a price. ---

Two villages. Two gods. Two truths that could not coexist. What begins as devotion slowly becomes division, and division becomes hatred. As hunger grows, prayers grow louder. As suffering spreads, certainty hardens. And when people begin killing in the name of what they believe is right, the line between faith and fanaticism becomes impossible to see. A dark philosophical poem that questions belief, truth, mercy, and the price humanity pays when conviction becomes more important than compassion.

This story is based on anti-vax movements and cults (it was written in the Fall of 2024, I think you can guess where my inspiration might have come from). My high school was holding a competition to make a suspense story 1K words or less, so I wrote this. I won, but I don't think there were many others who participated, lol. I thought it was interesting how this story came out with how I would try to maximize characterization and foreshadowing with the limited word count, so that's why I haven't edited this story and kept it unchanged from the submission. I hope you enjoy it!
