    PERCY!
    By
    Jake Bible

    “You’d think with his complete lack of empathy, Carlton wouldn’t be so torn up,” Mungle said as he watched his co-worker writhe on the floor in anguish. “It’s just a hedgehog.”

    “You shouldn’t have stepped on it,” Timmons responded. “It was his first pet.”

    “Get a hold of yourself, man!” Mungle shouted.

    “Percy! PERCY!” Carlton cried out, his hands trying to rip at his close-cropped, blonde hair.

    “Ok, I’ve watched enough,” Timmons sighed. “Hand me the RPG. I want to double check it before the plane lands.”

    “Will do,” Mungle said, shaking his head at Carlton’s antics at their feet.

    Market Value

    The stain would never leave; not any amount of washing could remove the dark red from the carpet.

    Not even removing the carpet itself.

    “Interesting manifestation,” Dr. Carlmonder stated, mentioned, observed. “How soon between removal and its reappearance?”

    “A day. Two at the most,” Mrs. Billwager said. “I have scrubbed and scrubbed, washed and washed, vacuumed and vacuumed. The carpet has been replaced three times this year alone. I’ll never be able to sell this house and move with this abomination appearing. It’s ruining my market value.”

    “Hmmm,” Dr. Carlmonder pondered, puzzled, thought. “Have you thought about trying hardwood flooring?”

    The Problem
    By
    Jake Bible

    The split up the backside of her jeans wasn’t the problem; being larger than most girls she’d split her seat plenty of times before.

    The entire cafeteria laughing wasn’t the problem; she’d dealt with that many times.

    The laughter by the football team, especially her secret crush, wasn’t the problem either; he was the star quarterback and she knew she never had a chance.

    The building rage that boiled over and turned into a blinding, murderous wave of energy wasn’t the problem; that was pretty cool, actually.

    No, the problem was: what would she do with all the bodies?

    Digging Began…

    The photos were posted at 8:53pm on May 23rd, 2013. They were shared by several students for the next two hours before they went viral.

    Tina found out at 12:47am on May 24th, 2013. Her first reaction wasn’t shock or embarrassment, but pure rage. Sweet, homicidal rage. If her father saw those pictures…

    The plan was devised at 3:25am on May 24th, 2013. Tools were bagged; duct tape and plastic were bagged; shovel was obtained.

    The photos’ hard drive disappeared at 6:13am May 24th, 2013. The hard drive’s owner disappeared minutes later.

    Digging began at 8:32am on May 24th, 2013…
