Chapter 9 - Tape 01 - Living

[Warning: this all takes place before & after chapter 7 ]

 

"my grandfather on my mother's side sold bootleg tapes… my grandfather on my father's side would record videos onto VHS tapes…. The similarities were limited to one thing and that was horrible movies.. They love horror movies as much as one would sell them while watching, when the other one recorded them & watched them for later. Watching horror movies was not in the cards for me until later on, I ended up getting into horror movies little by little as I was a scared crying child when I came to horror movies but my life was its own horror movie when  I slowly realized how diabolical it was….. If you think it's easy being me, slashing people and killing was only part of it. Once I was able to get somewhere which was Wilmington, North Carolina. If you know what was filmed here then you'll understand why I chose this place…. Anyway, going to an unknown location and residing in an abandoned warehouse not only that is but also a meat locker and generator power, so it has its benefits where I can be alone… When it rains it pours, when it's hot it's humid, when it's cold it's brick! But throughout my days it gave me perspective and built character, murderous or deadly. Whenever it was extremely cold in the south I would control my body temperature to adapt to it. Even if I was hungry or thirsty I would hibernate my body for a short period of time like Jason Voorhes after every movie. On those random holidays I would try to stay in the shadows and train my body to punch concrete, not to mention learning gymnastics along with acrobatics since there was enough room in the warehouse for it. Let me not forget about the meat locker as I had to train using the knife properly. Sure I've learned how to stab mutated beings but I want to learn more on how to slice flesh so night after night I would capture someone and bring them to the warehouse whenever I wasn't getting my revenge but once I was done with them I whistled for the creature to come and take the bodies. I've seen the creature many times and fought it in those months which led to it and I having some type of bond… I would soon realize what kind of bond we share but we'll get back to that later…. Anyways, whatever I wanted to go out in public I learned how to slip into the skin of people by cutting into the leftover skin of the creature.  Not to mention how I am granted my abilities. Thanks to my sacrificial knife, every time I do so I have to cut my chest open which gives me more power and skills from said people. Oh I'm not talking about any ordinary skills, but their Best Attributes from learning how to write or draw or even how to kill or cut or kick and don't even get me started on sarcasm let alone speaking,  it all comes full circle…. Jesus mom I told you that this is videotape for me…. Would you stop judging me and I may have killed a bunch of people but that does not mean that you have to demean me…. SHUT UP MOM! I SAID SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!..." 

Jeremiah was shouting at nothing there & even shot a large bit of machinery at The direction that he was yelling at before holding his head and starting to cry. " *sigh* Mary cut the Video…. " The video began going in & out of nowhere to focus, realizing that this man was indeed losing it. The video was cutting in and out which revealed Jeremiah breaking down which led to the creature named Mary wrapped her multiple arms around him, not to drag him down like the others but to embrace him while he cried like a child in pain. In fact, every time the camera cut out, the creature would bandage up Jeremiah and make sure that he was wrapped in new bandages. Soon the camera cut to a blue screen then returned a few days after the events of what transpired at the diner where Jeremiah. He was dealing with a screaming Ronnie constantly wanting to be let loose and get out Immediately! But the closer and closer that Jeremiah got to Ronnie begin to glitch out again leading to more days passing and more footage showing that one of Jeremiah's former colleagues from the hospital, Jon, was coming into the warehouse and nearly puked by the smell of everything as no sound could be heard but it was clear that he came here to meet Jeremiah face-to-face. Little bit tedious along but nothing too didn't mean where Jon was terrified but he did look to be defending himself in the conversation as it was clear that he didn't know about what happened to Jeremiah when he was Shemp. It went from them talking then shouting at one another but led to a mutual understanding that ended up with Jon bringing out some party favors in the form of guns and explosives. Sound as soon came back on to the video as you could hear the conversation that Jon wanted to know if this is what Jeremiah really wanted to do? Jeremiah looked at John as if that was the stupidest question that you could ever ask him before he undid his bandages and revealed his face to John who immediately puked on the ground seeing how terrifying and damaged his once co-worker that went from a not so attractive man to a total monster that was beyond hideous. "Now Jon asked me that question again because I don't remember called you here for some bullshit Idol chit chat or talk about some feel good stories or Redemption! No matter what it takes or how it happens, I want my revenge to be painful and slow for every single last one of these corrupt motherfuckers who took everything from me!" Jeremiah announced as he was not going to let anyone stop him from getting his revenge and it showed as Mary surrounded Jon from behind with her multiple arms ready to drag him at any moment, but Jon nodded with understanding leading to them giving a signature handshake the only ones from the hood would understand.
