You 're a therapist in charge of helping 3-5 people all affected by the same serial killer but in different ways . [ WP ]

“ 20 years ago, he rose from the earth, like a devil, flames spat around him, burning the nearby trees to ashes and scaring the living hell out of me and my wife. ” 
 
 “ My wife and I* ” 
 
 “ Quiet, Samantha- let Eustice tell his perspective. ” 
 
 “ Thank you, as I was saying, scaring the hell out of my wife and I. He looked us in the eyes, his eyes were charcoal black- a demon ’ s. ” 
 
 “ He ’ s a robot! I tell you! a robot! ” 
 
 “ Samantha! Wait your turn. ” 
 
 “ Fine. ” 
 
 “ My wife, the poor woman, raised her cross at the beast- only to have her hand sliced off by its talons and kill her brutally, it was horrifying. ” 
 
 “ Did it say anything to you, Eustice? ” 
 
 “ It said that it was the spawn from hell, come to bring apocalypse upon the sinners of this earth. By killing them one by one. ” 
 
 “ Why do you think it left you alive? ” 
 
 “ To convey god ’ s message to the non-believers ” 
 
 “ I see. Alright, thank you very much Eustice, now Samantha would you like to have your turn, and then afterwards Arthur can have his. ” 
 
 “ Finally! Gosh Eustice you could not be more wrong. He ’ s no demon, he ’ s a bloody robot! He comes and infects your family, replacing their parts one by one until they are nothing but machines! He started with my husband, one day he came home and just wasn ’ t himself, his brain had been replaced with a microchip! And he slowly changed the rest of my family- he thought I wouldn ’ t notice, but I did! Before they got to me, I killed them, I killed them all! I dug my hands into their bodies and pulled out all the microchips and parts in them. When I did he appeared behind me and with his robotic features, he told me that he was an alien robot that had come to replace all of mankind! But I saw through the illusion and called the police! But he left before they came so they thought I was the one who had killed my family. They didn ’ t believe me when I said that he had turned them into robots first, so I hadn ’ t killed anyone! ” 
 
 “ Now, now Samantha, please calm down, no need for tears- we ’ re all here to welcome each other and support each other on this road to recovery. Now then Arthu- ” 
 
 “ Thank you but I ’ m perfectly fine, it ’ s these folks who need help since they don ’ t believe me! ” 
 
 “... Now then, Arthur it ’ s your turn to speak. ” 
 
 “... ” 
 
 “ Arthur? Are you alright? ” 
 
 “.. I ’ m fine… ” 
 
 “ You ’ ve been awfully quiet, do tell us your story. ” 
 
 “..Only if you tell us why you ’ re making us tell you again -- and why are you recording us?. ” 
 
 “ I will tell you after you tell us, alright? The recorder is here for good measure. ” 
 
 “... Alright.. Then, I ’ ll begin. ” 
 
 “ Excellent. ” 
 
 “ He ’ s a monster. ” 
 
 “ Care to elaborate? ” 
 
 “ He ’ s the boogeyman, he hides under peoples beds and kills them in their sleep, he ’ s as tall as he wants to be and hurts everyone for the sake of it. He has claws and fangs and he killed my parents- ” 
 
 “ You killed your parents, boy. ” 
 
 “ No, Eustice, he killed them. He tore them up with his fangs and claws, and murdered them. He laughed in my face afterwards. He told me he would follow me for the rest of my life and will be there the day I die. ” 
 
 “ You know that ’ s not true, Arthur, he isn ’ t immortal. ” 
 
 “ He is, and he has followed my family for generations, killing us whenever we have a happy family. ” 
 
 “ Your grandparents are all alive Arthur. ” 
 “ He skipped a generation! He ’ s coming for my children and everyone else, he ’ s going to kill my whole family, I swear it! ” 
 
 “ Thank you Arthur for sharing, and now it may seem strange that I ’ m making you all talk about your experiences of him, but I assure you that it comes with your best intentions in mind. ” 
 
 “ So... Why did you make us? ” 
 
 “ This is why. ” 
 
 “ A book? ” 
 
 “ The cover ’ s quite tacky. ” 
 
 “... ” 
 
 “ Now, in this book that I wrote with Dale, a close friend of mine, I have documented his killings as well as his true persona. Who he really is. ” 
 
 “ A robot! ” 
 
 “ A demon. ” 
 
 “ Th-the boogeyman. ” 
 
 “ No, none of those, he ’ s actually an orphaned child who went by the name of Laurence Carcacel. He was born 40 years ago and is very disturbed in the head- he loves to play with his victims minds and convince them of unreal experiences through sheer trauma. ” 
 
 “ Lies! He ’ s a demon who has come to kill the sinners! ” 
 
 “ No you imbecile, he's an undying robot who's come to replace us with them! ” 
 
 “... ” 
 
 “ I have spent three years of my life researching and learning of his origins with Dale for the sake of you all whom have been so deeply disturbed by your encounters with him. ” 
 
 “ You ’ re lying. ” 
 
 “ Arthur, I am in no wa- ” 
 
 “ YOU ’ RE LYING, THIS IS A TEST OF OUR FAITHS BY HIM. ” 
 
 “ Boy, you ’ re right, this woman is a test and we need to kill her to prove ourselves. ” 
 
 “ Before she turns us into a robot too! ” 
 
 “ Please, don ’ t come any closer. ” 
 
 “ Open this door you cybitch! ” 
 
 “ Not until you three calm down, this is for your own benefit and It is up to you to recover and rejoin society. Now, I ’ m going to call my friend so please, stop shoving the door, it's made of steel and you ’ ll only hurt yourselves trying to break through. ” 
 
 ‘ Dale, hello? Is that you? ’ 
 
 
 ‘ Yes, Marissa? What ’ s up? ’ 
 
 ‘ The patients have me cornered in my office, I need help. ’ 
 
 ‘ Fear not, I ’ m already there. ’ 
 
 ‘ Huh? ’ 
 
 “ Hello, Marissa. ” 
 
 “ Dale! Thank god you ’ re here! I was getting worried, I know the door is made of steel but you never know… ” 
 
 “... ” 
 
 “ Wait, why are you here? ” 
 
 “... ” 
 
 “ You ’ re not Dale… ” 
 
 “... ” 
 
 “ Who are you? ” 
 
 “ Well, love- I am Dale but I ’ m also sorta not, you know. He sorta doesn ’ t exist. ” 
 
 “ Impossible! I ’ ve known him for ten years! ” 
 
 “ Yeesh, apparently not since you can ’ t even recognise me by my voice. ” 
 
 “ Dale doesn ’ t talk like that. I don ’ t know who you are but you need to leave and how did you get Dale ’ s damn phone? ” 
 
 “ I ’ m him. ” 
 
 “ You ’ re not Dale. ” 
 
 “ No, no, I ’ m him ” 
 
 “... No... please..don ’ t hurt me… ” 
 
 “ Don ’ t worry, love. We ’ ve been friends for a long time, I wouldn ’ t dream of hurting ya. ” 
 
 “ You ’ re not Dale.. You ’ re not Dale, you ’ re not Dale, YOU ’ RE NOT DALE. ” 
 
 “ Face it love, Dale never existed. ” 
 
 “ No.. All that data on you… ” 
 
 “ All faked! Of course I needed a few false documents here, a couple bribes there, but it was all fake! ” 
 
 “ But... but why? ” 
 
 “ Same reason I did it to the other folk out there. For fun. ” 
 
 “ Ten years… ” 
 
 “ Quite the investment no? Hahaha. ” 
 
 “ You ’ re a monster… ” 
 
 “ Or a robot, or was it a devilspawn? AHAHAHAHA ” 
 
 “ Oh god… ” 
 
 “ Here you go! ” 
 
 “ A… gun? ” 
 
 “ Yup! With four bullets too! One for every one of them, and me! If you shoot me, of course. ” 
 
 “ I... I… ” 
 
 “ Now open the door. And shoot them. Be sure not to miss! ”
