Night 1~ Smile For The Smilies
James Earl Cash was not a nervous man, at least, not until he was placed in this shithole of a town. Then everything changed. After Starkweather so kindly informed him that he could ‘kill or be killed’, James had constantly looked over his shoulder, believing, no,
knowing that somewhere, that sick bastard was filming him. Making his way down the street, he planned to loot a nearby sports store in order to get a nice solid bat, perfect for bashing in skulls. Before he managed to break the store-front window however, a nearby pay-phone began to ring. Cautiously moving towards it, James let it ring three times before picking it up.
‘Hello?’
‘Good evening James’, a cool voice on the other end responded. ‘I trust you’ve been enjoying your stay in Carcer?
‘Go to hell’.
‘Now really James, that’s no way to be polite. After all, I was just calling to warn you’.
‘Warn me? About what?’
‘About them. The ones that like to hunt at night, around this time. You know? The one’s the sing nursery rhymes while they butcher those foolish enough to stay out past dark’.
‘I don’t know what the f*ck you’re talking about’.
‘Oh you will soon James. You will. May I ask something of you, before you hang up?’
‘Yes’.
‘Smile for the Smilies’.
Click.
Smile for the Smilies? What the hell did that mean?. Then he heard them. At first it was just one voice, drifting lazily along the wind. But then there were more. Soon, it was a chourus.
To market, to market to butch a fat pig. Home again, home again, jiggity-jig..
No sooner had he heard the rhyme repeat a second time then they were upon him. Huge, men, easily six feet, all wearing yellow smiley face masks, some splattered with the blood of previous victims. They grabbed James roughly by the back of his shirt and forced him to the ground. He could feel a heavy boot resting on his back. Then, they leapt on him, hacking away at his limbs with butcher’s knives, screaming with childish delight.
They left James, or rather his extremities, in a scattered pile around the pay-phone.
