Birthday Boy

Horror Created on 2-27-08 Views(141) Story Rating G

September 3rd, 1972

 

  A birthday boy sat in the stairway closet, playing with his toys.

  There were not seven candles atop a cake for this boy’s birthday, nor were there a group of presents. No confetti, no piñata, no singing.

  His father had been more than eager to give him a birthday beating though; one smashed finger for every year. The boy was missing three from playing with his toys.

  He was playing cook. Two bright, shiny, well-taken-care-of kitchen knives were removing the neighbor’s cat’s skin.

  His fingers hurt, but he didn’t cry. No need for tears on his birthday. Even his mother had stopped crying today. She had even stopped sobbing. The birthday boy was surprised. If it had been him who jumped off of the top of a 22 story building, he would have bawled like a baby.

  You would too, wouldn’t you Horsey?” The boy inquired.

  A yellow, stuffed giraffe sat looking at the cat. It stared entranced by the dead animal. Never blinking.

  “You’re right Horsey. No talking while the man is breathing. The man of the house needs quiet.”

  The boy proceeded to restlessly stab the deceased cat. He glanced at the stuffed animal from time to time waiting to see if it would make a noise. After a minute, he stopped and pet his pet. “Good Horsey”. He said. “Very good Horsey.”

  The stuffed animal never moved, never blinked, and never questioned the boys opinions. The perfect friend.

  This was a happy day for the boy. He had a friend to play with, something to be played, and it was his birthday.

  After a few more moments of hacking at the cat, he carved a good red piece of meat from the leg. The boy studied it closely, feigning (but not much) knowledge about the meat’s quality. After a minutes indesicion, he put it in front of his friend for a second opinion.

  “What do you think Horsey?” The boy asked.

  No reply. The boy became frustrated and held the meat in front of the giraffe for a few seconds.

  Nothing.

  “ANSWER THE FUCKING QUESTION YOU LITTLE SHIT!” He screamed, grabbing the giraffes’ throat. His ring finger (his pinky was missing) caught the string attached plastic ring on the giraffes back and pulled it. “Row Row Row Your Boat” began to slowly play.

  “But…..a……….dream…”

  Two highs and a low.

  “I thought it was good too.” The boy said. Using gutted beer cans as a stove and a lighter as a burner, he began to heat the meat. As he took his hand off the toy to heat the cans, the rest of the string fell to the body.

  “Row……row……row...your…..”

  With a swipe, the boy backhanded the giraffe to the other side of the closet.

  “QUIET YOU LITTLE SHIT!”” He screamed.

  He hit the animal only once before returning to his cooking.

  “No point beating a dead Horsey” The boy said, quoting his father. The boy had heard his dad say that when he hurt the boy once. It made sense now.

  20 minutes later, the boy swallowed the warm meat and smacked his lips.

mcihellejane I'm not sure what to say about this one..I don't mean that badly at all..I was kinda chuckling when I was reading some parts (I'm thinking that's not normal) but it just struck me in a humorous sort of way. It is definitly chilling though, in it's insane sort of way. I actually think you have a wonderful beginning to something w/ this-I think you should expand on it 100%. I can see a true novel evolving here! Great job-truly~

sageravens I actually wrote this about 6 months ago. This is the first draft without any editing. I kind of don't like this one. I'm not good about the horror genre. It was kind of a flash and capture thing.

ofloveandblood wow, you've got somehting going here. It could use a little work. Some parts are a bit choppy and unclear. I'm guessing he just cut off three of his fingers? A seven year old just threw a grown woman from an apartment building? I'll suspend disbelief for that but only if there's an explanation on how he did it. Pretty good though, nice and creepy. Will there be more?
