MONSTER
A young man lay flat and lifeless on a state-of-the-art operating table in a small lab. The laboratory was a sterile, well-lit room filled with advanced medical equipment. The young man's eyes had been plucked out, and his abdomen was partially open—the skin not entirely cut, but peeled back enough to reveal the inside.A short distance away, a medical tray was cluttered with bloodied surgical tools, scalpels, forceps, and the like. What stood out the most were the two eyeballs placed neatly on the tray, wide open, eerily staring down at the body that lay lifelessly on the table.Sitting on a metallic chair at the far edge of the small lab was an old man. His wrinkled face and thinning white hair made him look ancient, almost out of place, but the lab coat he wore and the glasses perched on his nose suggested he belonged there. The specks of blood on his coat proved that he was the one who had operated on the body. He typed away at a computer, his back turned to the lifeless figure on
I AM NOT A MONSTER
A long road stretched downward toward a small open garden, with all kinds of trees and flowers planted within it. Two little girls stood in front of an apple tree, staring at a boy perched on one of its branches, trying to pluck a very large, ripe apple.All three of them seemed no older than five.The boy shifted his feet forward, straining to reach the apple. His hand was only a couple of inches away, yet he could not grab it. The apple almost seemed to pull away whenever he touched it, as though it did not want to be plucked. But the boy refused to give up. He edged his legs forward, stretching his arm again and again, determined to take the apple so he could share it with his two friends.Unfortunately, as he struggled to grab it, his foot slipped. He fell from the very top of the tree, his body striking several branches before hitting the ground.The boy groaned as he landed, his leg breaking in the process."Uche!!!"The two girls screamed, rushing over to him with worried faces

"What have you done."The hunchback old man shouted, at the second youngest man in the room, who was visibly shaking with sweat rolling down his face. "It...it... was him, he put me up to this, saying Uche had not bled once since he started this job, so he told me to do this."The second youngest man said with a shaky voice, as he pointed at one of the middle aged men, who were operating the large circular saw. "Idiot, I only ask to find a way to injure him so he could bleed, after all, he's the only one who hadn't gotten any wound since starting this job, but you have gone too far."The middle aged man argued, with a hint of worried on his face. "Take him to the hospital, now."The old man shouted, as Uche was still screaming in pain. But just as they move towards him, he stopped screaming, then picked up his severed arm with his other arm, he took a few steps back, towards the exit, and said with tears rolling down his face. "No need to take me to the hospital, I guess it's my
CORPSE ART
Uche suddenly felt a slight pain on his missing eye, it was as if a faint naked flame was burning in the depth of his empty eye socket, it wasn't that painful nor was it any pleasant, and just as he place his palm on the black eye patch, something strange started happening. The slight pain he could feel had disappeared, and the faint burning flame also disappeared, now replaced by something else, it was replaced by a blurred image, he was seeing the blurred image from the empty socket of his missing eye, making it look like a vision. He rubbed his hand on the eye patch a few times, and the image became clearer, turning into a distant vision. In the vision, he could see a huge spacious and cozy bedroom with all kinds of luxurious furniture, the bedroom is completely white, toned with several artwork, mostly pencil illustration, hung all over the wall. He could see a small table a few meters away from the large bed, a glass cup stood on the table with a powder coffee inside it, a si
What To Do
Escaping from his pursuers, Uche continue running forward without looking back, not even to spare his savior a glance, he was even wary of the mysterious figure more than his pursuers, so he just wanted to get away from whoever they might be and outrun them as far as possible, but to his surprise, the person was much more faster than he had thought.They suddenly stopped right in front of him, blocked his mouth and dragged him into a corner to the left, where a stairway could be seen, leading downward, they hid behind it while the figure held Uche tightly, then several men could be seen running towards where they had escaped from. After the men had completely left their view, running into the passage the two had just left, the figure finally freed Uche, giving him a breathing room. Then the black helmet on the figure head was slowly removed, revealing the delicate face of a beautiful young woman, long black hair flustered backward as she swings her head, with the helmet under her ar
A Killer's Journal
The boys finally stopped after getting out of the junk filled street onto the main road, they finally had a breathing room as they bent down, panting. "I can't believe it.""That creepy bastard, so he had a missing eye.""He looks dreadful without the eye patch.""I'm a bit worried for him, he's missing an eye and now, his ear is also missing."As the boys were discussing their experience with the creepy guy, they failed to noticed two large men who walk past them and stopped when they overhead their discussion. "Cmon, he's not the only one with an eye patch, let's not waste time."---With his mood contaminated by the boys, Uche slowly walk back to the workshop, meet up with his boss and begin work for the day after his boss confirmed that he had no injury. His work here is just like what he had been doing in the past, scraping metals, cutting metals, melting and shaping metals, that's the field he had found himself in anywhere he works, more reason is that this work get the least
The Return Of Snowflake
Waking up the next morning, Uche couldn't keep his worry off his mind, he had thought having a good sleep will make him forget everything that had happened, but it didn't work at all, in fact, it's almost as if he slept in the depth of his worries, only waking up to depression. Uche didn't know what to do. He was trying his best to stay away from the world as possible, hide himself while living a peaceful live, but now, the organ trafficking gangs are on his back, and sooner or later, he would be revealed to the world. Not only that, but a serial killer also has one of his eyes, making him share sight with the psycho.That's just too.... incredible.Uche would've love leaving the city as soon as possible, but sharing his sight with a gruesome killer is not something he wants to live with. If he couldn't get his eye back, he at least wished for the bastard to get caught or worse, be killed, so he could flee peacefully. With his worry haunting him down, Uche decided to find more info
Another One
In the distant vision, Uche could see a young beautiful woman in her early twenties, lying on the floor with her face slightly going red, goosebumps all over her face and she seems to be letting out a silence scream that Uche couldn't hear. A strong hand wrapped around her neck and she struggle to breathe. Pink like vein appeared all over her forehead and it look as if her large puppy eyes were about to pop out of her head, and still, the grip on her neck didn't even show a sign of loosing. "That bastard...he's killing another person."Uche muttered, his voice shaky. The vision moves between the woman and a phone that lies beside her, ringing. A couple minutes later, the woman's eyes shut, her bulging vein going back down, his lips quivering as it slowly close, and finally, life seeped away from her and the grip on her neck loosened, and the culprit stood up. Or so, Uche thought the person did. The angle of view changed, now he could see the woman's body from above, which means
Arrested
Seeing the round-bellied man, Uche thought he had made a mistake. Maybe he had lost his target and followed the wrong person into the restroom. But remembering that he had seen a young man in a black suit enter the restroom, he was sure he hadn't made a mistake.He had a feeling the man was pulling tricks on him. Who knew—maybe he had the power to shapeshift and morph into any appearance he wished? What else could have made him invincible all these years the cops had been after him? What else could have kept his identity a mystery if not the power to change his appearance?But Uche didn't want to believe it. He didn't want to believe something like that could exist—not only would it make it impossible for him to retrieve his eye, but it would also mean the bastard could operate freely without ever being caught, just like in the years before his long hiatus.He didn't want to believe it, and that was why he didn't attack the man outright or accuse him of being the culprit. Instead, he
How A Criminal Dress
Kante stood still and scowled, not wanting to move from his position. Nothing was making a single bit of sense to him—he just couldn't believe it.He had often wondered why he always got sudden eye pains and had even promised himself to get some eye drops. But after observing for a while, he realized the pain always came whenever a particular song by Lonely Guitar Man was being played. Not knowing the link between the song and his eye, he had decided to stay as far away from it as possible. But now, he had uncovered an unnerving truth:Someone could see through his eye whenever that song was being played."How disturbing."If anything, Kante felt embarrassed as he recalled the many occasions the song had been played, either by him or by someone else.Thinking about it, he realized how much the man had seen—a lot. He had seen far too much."What can I do to him."Kante couldn't let the man live due to how much he must have seen, but now that the cops had him there's no way he could get
