The dark secrets of Snohomish

In the past few decades, Snohomish County had seen a large number of human disappearances. What happened to these people? How did they disappear? No one knew except eight year old Suzie and her playmates.

Suzie Slasher was the golden child of the Slasher family. They lived in the Haunted Mansion across the black water lake. Legend had it that the house was cursed by a powerful and evil witch who lived there for hundreds of years until she was brutally killed and burned by the local Puritans in the 1650s for witchcraft. She twirled and laughed with a loud screech as she made a vow of revenge before her death. The Suzie’s mother was a direct descendant of the witch but little Suzie seemed to inherit most of the evil, turning into a banshee at age eight about three decades ago.

Suzie stepped out of her house early in the morning wearing a bright red frock with frills and puffy shoulders. She wore two high ponytails on each side of her temples, tied with red satin ribbons. She looked angelic but her intensions were far from it. As she walked along the empty street, she twirled and laughed sending her screechy cackles across the neighborhood. But as soon as she saw cars passing by, she would put up a sad, scared face asking for help to get home.

The victims gave Suzie a ride to her directed place which ended near a shack at the corner of Spector road. It was a place that never existed, a place that never shows up on the map. Suzie held their hand tightly and walk towards the building as she giggled and skipped. As they got closer, Eski stepped out of the shack pretending to be Suzie’s father. Eski, was a blood thirsty undead, who transformed into a human to lure the victims. But as the victim got closer Eski would transform into a ugly beast with large pores on his skin that oozed blood. He had large claws to tear his victims’ skin and fangs to bite into human flesh. Suzie clapped and twirled again, just like she did on the street but this time to celeberate death.

The victims screamed and tried to run but Eski grabbed them with his enormous strength and skinned them alive. The scent of living blood drove him mad as it dripped on his skin and blended with his. Eski began licking and drinking the blood until the body got cold and lifeless. They then took the bloodless bodies inside the shack to Chuck, who would wait with his special cleavers to make the perfect cuts and slices for barbequed ribs and sausages. Chuck’s barbequed ribs were a delicacy in whole of Snohomish for its unique taste and flavor. Suzie and Eski made sure to keep him supplied with the freshest of human meat.
