Mr. Grim
Once upon a time
Mr. Grim
There was a boy name Jeffery.
Jeff
Cute. Go kill yourself asshole.
Mr. Grim
One day Jeff got a strange message.
Mr. Grim
He didn't recognize the number that sent it.
Mr. Grim
He started to refer to the messenger as Mr. Grim.
Jeff
Then Jeff stop answering because he doesn't have time for this bullshit.
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey wanted to stop answering.
Mr. Grim
But then he opened the front door and saw a package waiting for him.
Jeff
WTF. Dude! WTF is that?
Mr. Grim
Surely this must have been a prank.
Mr. Grim
The contact couldn't be what Jeffery thought it was.
Mr. Grim
I quick look around his home showed that indeed his wife was missing
Mr. Grim
The finger in the box wearing his wife's ring was indeed hers.
Jeff
You sick son of a bitch!
Jeff
I'm calling the police.
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey cursed. He screamed. He cried. He threaten.
Mr. Grim
He wasn't foolish enough to call the police though.
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey knew if he called the cops the game would be over. He would never see his lovely Amber again.
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey would do anything to get his wife back.
Mr. Grim
So he agreed to play Mr. Grim’s game.
Jeff
What is all of this?
Jeff
Just give me back my wife.
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey’s impatience annoyed Mr. Grim but he was kind enough to let it slide.
Mr. Grim
When Jeffrey looked under the pillow his wife’s finger rested on he found a note.
Jeff
The first place we met?
Jeff
What does that mean?
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey was actually a lot smarter then he looked.
Mr. Grim
So he rushed out to the car and drove towards the first place he met the lovely Amber.
Jeff
Okay, I’m here. What now?
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey looked under the bench that had the blue flower painted on it.
Jeff
No please. Please no more packages.
Mr. Grim
He opened it up.
Jeff
Enough. Enough. I’m done with your game.
Jeff
Just give her back. Please. Just give her back to me.
Mr. Grim
The sight of gift left Jeffrey distraught.
Mr. Grim
Who would have guess it would have looked that way . . .
Mr. Grim
When you remove a tongue from a person’s mouth.
Jeff
Why are you doing this to me?
Jeff
My wife. Please. Give Amber back to me.
Mr. Grim
Mr. Grim was confused by Jeffrey statement.
Mr. Grim
We were playing a game.
Mr. Grim
So long as Jeffrey followed the rules he would have his wife back.
Mr. Grim
So Jeffrey put on his big boy pants. And read the next note.
Jeff
Caught? What is caught supposed to me?
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey put on his thinking cap. He knew he could come up with the answer.
Jeff
When she caught me? Where she caught me?
Mr. Grim
Rushing to his car he made his mad dash across town.
Jeff
God. Amber. Please. No more of this.
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey found the next package without any help from Mr. Grim.
Mr. Grim
What a lovely tattoo of a butterfly his wife had.
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey gently stroked spot on the dismembered foot.
Jeff
I can’t do this anymore.
Jeff
I can’t take this anymore.
Mr. Grim
Don’t worry Jeffrey.
Mr. Grim
This story is about to reach it’s climax.
Mr. Grim
The light came on and off Jeffrey went.
Mr. Grim
What fun he was having. Finding little treasure across the city.
Mr. Grim
Now he drove out to the lake house that he and Amber owned.
Mr. Grim
There was a trail for Jeffrey to follow.
Mr. Grim
Bread crumbles Mr. Grim left behind so Jeffrey could follow them.
Mr. Grim
Nine fingers lead to the porch.
Mr. Grim
Ten toes drew him to the stairs.
Mr. Grim
A foot at the top.
Mr. Grim
An arm pointing down the hall.
Mr. Grim
Another that pointed to the master bedroom.
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey stopped outside of the door.
Mr. Grim
He was afraid of what he might find behind it.
Jeff
How do you know this?
Jeff
Are you watching me?
Jeff
You’ve been following me this whole time.
Jeff
Come out! Fight me like a man.
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey didn’t want to lose the game. So he pushed the door open.
Jeff
Fuck you! Fuck you and your game.
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey pushed the door open.
Jeff
No! I won’t do it. I’m done.
Mr. Grim
Push the fucking door open!
Mr. Grim
I’ll kill her now.
Mr. Grim
Jeffery pushed the door open.
Mr. Grim
His eyes widen at the sight inside.
Mr. Grim
A woman tied to a chair held a severed head in her lap.
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey took slow steps towards the woman.
Mr. Grim
Doubling over. Jeffrey vomited when he saw the blue tint on Amber’s lips.
Mr. Grim
Mr. Grim promised that if Jeffrey played his game he would get his wife back.
Mr. Grim
Never did Mr. Grim say she would be alive.
Jeff
Who . . . who is she? Who is the head?
Mr. Grim
Jeffery knew that woman as well.
Mr. Grim
He was very familiar with the body pieces that he been finding around the city.
Mr. Grim
When you have affairs. You become familiar with each other bodies.
Mr. Grim
Stancy paid for her sins.
Jeff
How did you know about the affair?
Jeff
No one knew about it.
Mr. Grim
Stancy was keeping secrets as well.
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey didn’t know he wasn’t the one one married.
Mr. Grim
Jeffrey took Mr. Grim’s wife.
Mr. Grim
So Mr. Grim took his.
Mr. Grim
Sadly that wasn’t enough to quell Mr. Grim’s anger.
Mr. Grim
He wanted Jeffrey’s life as well!
Mr. Grim
Mr. Grim stood over Jeffrey’s dead body.
Mr. Grim
The warm red liquid dripped from his smiling face.
Mr. Grim
Raising the gun to his own temple.
Mr. Grim
They all lived . . .
Mr. Grim
Happily Never After.
