My name is 'Mark', a 21 years old guy, living

with my dad and younger brother Sam in one

house; My parents are separated. I witnessed

some of the most disturbing events ever in

my life. I would like to share with you those

events that happened with me.

I had a 19 years old girlfriend named 'Lucy'

who was the love of my life, and I was

dreaming of marrying her someday, but I lost

her. She was a part of all those events, and

worse than that…she was a victim.

There is a house opposite to our house, and

there is only a road that separates between

us, but the house wasn't the problem; the

man who lived in the house was the problem,

and he was the reason of all what happened

to me.

The man was a surgeon named 'Vince'

probably in his forties; he was one of the best

surgeons, and he even used to give medical

lectures in the famous medical university in

the city, but he was a weirdo living in the

house all alone; loneliness can make a

person insane, so it wasn't strange that Dr.

Vince was insane who used to go out every

night at a late time for some unknown

reasons, but people who lived in nearby

houses including me noticed that something

was wrong with Dr. Vince; Dr. Vince the most

famous, respected and reputed surgeon.

They say that psychopathic killers are the

most elegant, innocent-looking and

charming persons in the world because

maybe they try so hard to be normal, but

people don't want psychopathic killers in

society.

When did I notice that Dr. Vince was actually

doing bad things? It was one day when I was

looking out the window watching the house

of Dr. Vince at night with Lucy just for fun,

but we saw him dragging something that

looked like a human body into his house, so I

had to make sure.

My dad was out on a business trip that night;

my younger brother Sam was in my aunt's

house, so it was the perfect night to

investigate what was going on in that

house.

"You stay here" I said to Lucy.

"Where are you going Mark?" Lucy asked.

"I will go sneak into Vince's house to see

what is going on, because I am sure that he is

doing something wrong; he always go out late

at night, and just now we saw him dragging

something that looked like a body" I said.

"Are you mad? You just said that he was

dragging a body into his house, so it's not

safe to sneak into his house especially in this

late time of night" Lucy said.

"Don't worry babe; I will go and come back

quickly" I said.

"I will come with you then" Lucy said.

"No I will go alone. I promise I will come

back quickly" I insisted.

I took a flashlight, a pocket knife and a lock

pick with me then I went to Vince's house.

After some time I was able to open the door

using my lock pick, and so I sneaked into the

house slowly with my flashlight opened

because the house was dark, but there was

only some little light I saw coming from some

room, and so I guessed that Dr. Vince was in

that room. I also heard some cutting sounds

coming from there; what was that room? I

didn't know at first but then I knew

everything going on.

I returned back home scared, and I was all

sweaty because of fear. You can't imagine

how I was when I got back home.

"Mark, what is wrong? Why are you

breathing like that? What did you see?" Lucy

said.

"He…he…he was…" words barely came out of

my mouth while I was trying to take my

breath.

"He was what? Tell me" Lucy said while she

was worried.

"He was eating a child" I said after I calmed

down.

"Huh! Are you serious? Eating a child? Dr.

Vince the most respectable and famous

surgeon?" she put her hands on her head

then continued "I can't believe that".

"I sneaked into his house slowly, and I heard

some cutting sounds coming from the only

room with light turned on in the house, so I

walked slowly into that room to take a peek

and that room turned out to be the kitchen

where he was cutting a child on a table into

pieces using a meat cleaver while the blood

was everywhere…" I said.

"Oh my god, that is scary. What happened

then? Tell me" Lucy said while she was

shocked.

"I saw him putting the legs, arms and head of

the child in the oven; we have one problem

Lucy" I said.

"What is it?" she asked.

"He saw me and recognized me, but I ran

away before he can catch me. Don't you

know that he knows my dad?" I said.

"We have to call the police" Lucy said.

At first we thought that calling the police

would be a waste of time because nobody

would believe that the great doctor Vince is a

cannibal, but we did it anyway.

I called the cops telling them everything I

saw; I am sure they didn't believe me, but

they came anyway to investigate Vince's

house while I was with them. As I expected,

there was no sign of what he did in his house,

and the kitchen was all clean and organized

like nothing happened there.

"Sorry for disturbing you Dr. Vince, but this

boy told us that he saw you cooking a child"

cop said while laughing.

"No problem officer. The teenagers these days

can be so creative and problem makers" Dr.

Vince said while smiling.

That bastard cleaned everything before the

police came, and he was even smiling like he

was really innocent. He looked at me an evil

look meaning that he was going to kill me

and probably eat me too.

Of course the cops warned me of making any

fake calls again and they didn't believe me,

so I had to do something myself.

The next morning, my dad brought my

brother Sam from my aunt's house and came

home. Lucy went to her house which was just

a few blocks away from my house.

I wanted to tell my dad what happened with

Dr. Vince but I just couldn't do it; I didn't

have to do it because Vince the cannibal

came to our house by himself, and of course

he told my dad a different story making me a

liar.

"Good morning Joe, how are you? How was

your trip?" Dr. Vince said.

"It was fine. Thank you for asking. How are

you doing?" Dad said.

In short, Vince told my dad how I called the

police on him because I thought he was a

cannibal. My dad shouted at me and he even

grounded me.

My dad had to do something for work so he

left at night leaving me alone with Sam who

was 15 years old. I told Sam everything about

Dr. Vince to warn him not to ever go near his

house.

"You really broke into his house? You saw

him cooking a child in the oven?" Sam

said.

"Yes Sam. Police wanted to take me in for

breaking into his house, but he told them not

and dropped the charges against me" I said.

"Why did he do that? Why didn't he let the

police take you to jail?" Sam said.

"It's obvious Sam, he wants to kill me by

himself and eat me" I said.

"That is creepy" Sam replied with disgust.

I called Lucy and told her to come to my

house. I waited for one hour but she didn't

show up, so I got worried and I knew that

something was wrong. Vince kidnapped her;

that is what came into my mind.

I told my brother Sam to stay home. I took

the flashlight, pocket knife and my sweet

lock pick to break into his house again; his

house was dark as usual when I got in, but

the kitchen had light just like before. I went

into the kitchen and my flashlight dropped

from my hand because of what I saw. I got

shocked.

Lucy was there on the table but her head was

on the floor; the floor was all blood. Vince

was holding the meat cleaver with one hand

and a gun with the other hand.

"I was expecting you Mark; how good of you

to come here?" Vince said.

"You bastard, you killed Lucy and you are

about to eat her" I said with anger.

"Yes I am going to eat her. The meat of

women is softer and better than the meat of

men; care to join me for dinner? But I want

to eat the brain, kidney and intestines. I like

them fried" Vince said in a calm voice.

"You sick bastard. I am going to kill you" I

shouted.

"And how exactly are you going to do that? I

have a gun" Vince said.

"Why are you doing this? Why?" I asked with

anger.

"I will tell you everything because you are

going to die anyway; I belong to a secret club

of people who eat human flesh called 'secret

club of cannibalism'. We are so many and we

look just like you and everybody else, but we

crave human flesh. Even if I die, there are

many others like me who belong to that club

and you will never get rid of us all" Vince

said.

"A secret club of cannibalism? You people

must be really insane and I am sure your

little club will go down someday, and you all

are going to pay" I said while angry.

"Unfortunately, you won't be around to see

that day" Vince said with confidence.

Vince pointed his gun at me and I thought I

was going to die, but suddenly I heard the

famous word 'freeze', then Vince was on the

floor dead in a pool of his own blood by three

gun shots to his chest.

"Are you alright?" the cop said.

"Do you believe me now? I was about to die

and get eaten by that cannibal; he said

something about a secret club of cannibalism

before you shot him" I said.

"We will look into it and hunt down the club

members one by one. I promise" the cop

said.

It was Sam who called the police and told

them that I went to Vince's house, so it was

my brother who really saved me.

My dad mostly go out at night saying that he

has to do something for work; could he be a

member of that club of cannibalism? Could

any of my neighbors be one of them? I will

never know. Nobody is safe now.
