Recommended: Relevant perception on death

Many years ago off the coast of northern Maine occured a horrible incident. Several people were hung, branded, and brutally tortured by the psychotic serial killer. A total of 24 people were murdered and hung by the warped, twisted, gnarled limbs of a willow tree. One of the victims was the wife of the sheriff.

It took 6 weeks 6 days and 6 hours precisely; for the police to apprehend the sick cruel mind of "Brian" Wright. The trials were long and tedious, until the verdict of guilty was conceived. The death penalty was to be given immediately; no appeals were allowed. He was hanged in front of the steeple of the church. His last words echoed into the crowd before his feet plunged downwards, and his body swayed from side to side.

The island still had to live with the tramatic episode of its first homicide. More like its first 24.... People feel safe after the tenth anniversary of the execution of "Brian" Wright. But his last words of, "Death is never the end," still lives on in the hearts of the afflicted.

After the arrival of many people horrible "occurences" have happened......................again. The wedding is a complete disaster. It is no longer safe for anyone............... Evil courses through the arteries and veins of the islands. Who is to blame? Is, "Death" truely "never the end?" Everyone shall see...

Down below the bridge from a ledge a voice of pure horror and terror seized his ears. The hacker said in his certain voice, "Worse is yet to come of this island." The chopping and mutilating of Jake's father continued. He stopped moving; life had left his body, but the sound of the blade swiishing through the air was not silenced. Half a body plummeted into the chasm with the last sigh of Jake's father. The sword was slowly slid into the holder once again. Boulders and rocks were stained a scarlet red as the body hit the rocks and as the rocks cascaded down with the carcas.

The remaining potion of the body was dripping blood into the chasm, and the internal organs slowly slid from their places and fell with a squish with every impact. The marauder's laugh could only be heard for a few instances until the night got quiet again with the rustle of the leaves.

  • Clifford Olson: Serial Killers

    704 Words  | 2 Pages

    Though his killings occurred over thirty years ago Clifford Olson is still knows as one of Canada’s most notorious serial killers. Active through the years 1980-1980 he was responsible for eleven gruesome murders in that short span of time. The shocking nature of his crimes ensured nobody would forget his notorious deeds. To build on that, Olson is loathed because he extorted authorities into paying $100,000 for the locations of his victims’ remains, an agreement that haunted the survivors of Olson’s crimes, and ruined the careers of the officials who buckled under Olson’s outrageous demands. Furthermore, his crime spree led Neighbourhoods that once claimed to be “so safe you could leave your door open” to secure their doors; hitchhikers were seldom found on highways, and telephone poles were covered with posters warning that nearly a dozen adolescents were missing and a killer was on the loose. Had he not been apprehended by the authorities on August 12th, 1981 his spree of brutal slayings may have continued for much longer, as he showed no remorse for his ruthless crimes.

    The United States of America has more serial killers living in and on it's territory, than any other place in the world. Almost eighty-five percent of serial killers are housed in America. While most serial killers are men, women account for eight percent of the eighty-five in our country.

    My sweat soaked shirt was clinging to my throbbing sunburn, and the salty droplets scalded my tender skin. “I need this water,” I reminded myself when my head started to fill with terrifying thoughts of me passing out on this ledge. I had never been so relieved to see this glistening, blissful water. As inviting as the water looked, the heat wasn't the only thing making my head spin anymore. Not only was the drop a horrifying thought, but I could see the rocks through the surface of the water and couldn't push aside the repeating notion of my body bouncing off them when I hit the bottom. I needed to make the decision to jump, and fast. Standing at the top of the cliff, it was as if I could reach out and poke the searing sun. Sweat dripped from my forehead, down my nose, and on its way to my dry, cracked lips which I licked to find a salty droplet. My shirt, soaked with perspiration, was now on the ground as I debated my

  • Jumping Off a Cliff

    As I inched my way toward the cliff, my legs were shaking uncontrollably. I could feel the coldness of the rock beneath my feet when my toes curled around the edge in one last futile attempt at survival. My heart was racing like a trapped bird, desperate to escape. Gazing down the sheer drop, I nearly fainted; my entire life flashed before my eyes. I could hear stones breaking free and fiercely tumbling down the hillside, plummeting into the dark abyss of the forbidding black water. The trees began to rapidly close in around me in a suffocating clench, and the piercing screams from my friends did little to ease the pain. The cool breeze felt like needles upon my bare skin, leaving a trail of goose bumps. The threatening mountains surrounding me seemed to grow more sinister with each passing moment, I felt myself fighting for air. The hot summer sun began to blacken while misty clouds loomed overhead. Trembling with anxiety, I shut my eyes, murmuring one last pathetic prayer. I gathered my last breath, hoping it would last a lifetime, took a step back and plun...

  • Death: The Inevitable Ending of Every Story

    892 Words  | 2 Pages

    Every life story ends with death. Everyone knows this without thinking about it. In Margaret Atwood’s short story Happy Endings she puts forth that all stories end in death, insinuating there is no such thing as a happy ending. To prove this point, she gives examples of the possible relationship scenarios of John and Mary. Some are happy, some are tragic, and each end in death, reinforced with the words, “John and Mary die. John and Mary die. John and Mary die.” The fact that everyone dies does not need proving. It is a fact and not a happy one Ms. Atwood is recently joined by a vast number of authors writing dystopian style stories that foreshadow a very bleak future for mankind indeed, namely mass destruction and death.
