Murder the Game Page 7

  torches and the arch, there was a wall that was blocking his way so the only thing he

  could do was turn around and back track.

  Wright got to where the crossroad was and went straight this time, hoping he didn’t

  have to back track further. While he was walking he heard one howl from one monster

  then the howl from another. Afraid that they may have found where he was Wright

  started to run in hopes of reaching the real exit this time. Wright saw a light in the

  distance and tried to run faster so he could reach it, he hoped that was the exit he didn’t

  want to be in the maze anymore he was tired of running for his life. Wright had to turn

  a few times but he finally saw where the light was coming from, it looked like a room.

  He heard a roar coming from behind him. He stopped, turned around and saw the big

  monster staring at him, then it started to walk towards him. Wright turned back around

  and ran like his life depended on it, mainly because it did. Wright didn’t turn around to

  see if it was gaining on him, he really didn’t want to know but as he ran he began to

  notice the light started to get closer. He heard a howl then the foot stomps stopped, he

  still didn’t stop just in case it was still behind him. When he got to the light it opened

  into a hallway that had two doors. Wright finally stopped running and looked behind

  him, there was nothing there, he could finally relax a little because he was finally out of

  the maze.

  Wright walked down to the two doors, one had a red A and the other had a red B. He

  opened up the one with the red A and saw an empty room with nothing there. He

  closed the door then walked to the other door and opened it, he saw a conglomerate of

  machines that looked a lot the machine that was in the room before the maze.

  Chapter 06

  Torturing the Damned

  Wright thought the maze was bad but seeing more machines that could electrocute and

  others that he didn’t know what they could do frightened him more. If he thought the

  first room was bloody this one takes the cake, there was blood on everything, it didn’t

  look like there was one place that didn’t have blood. It felt like he was in a medieval

  modern torture dungeon, making him not even want to think about what took place in

  there. There were some torture devices that didn’t require the use of electricity but they

  looked painful none the less. The room was filled corner to corner with torture

  machines except in the left bottom corner, Wright walked over to the corner and saw a

  pit, probably used to throw the dead bodies. Wright only thought that because he

  smelled rotting flesh. Wright looked at each machine and saw that it had the name of

  murderers for every machine and there were about thirty machines in the room. He

  looked at one machines, it looked medieval the name one it “Vladimir the Impaler”.

  Vladimir was a Romanian king that killed his own family by poisoning them because he

  thought they were conspiring against him. Vladimir would also poison his victims and

  then impale them on a pike to warn anyone who would defy him. The machine looked

  like it would shoot a sick or pike straight up through the body to impale the person

  unlucky enough to be strapped to the machine. It also looked modified so that it would

  slowly impale the person if the person who was doing the impaling wanted to.

  There was one machine that didn’t have a killer's name, on the placard it said rat

  catcher. There was a bucket turned upside down on the table and a few rats caged in it

  and on the ground was a bucket with charcoal. On the table there was only one place

  that had blood and it was where the body’s stomach would be. Maybe they would strap

  a person down to the table and put a rat under the bucket then put the bucket on the

  person’s stomach and heat the charcoal to have the rat dig through the stomach to get

  away from the heat. Wright tried not to imagine that but he did and he didn’t like the

  way his mind made it look. He pictures the person screaming in agonizing pain as the

  rat would claw and bite its way through the stomach to get away from the charcoal.

  Wright then saw Nurse Peters strapping him down to this table and putting the bucket

  and rat on him. He quickly looked at the door and saw no one coming in, he walked

  away from the table to the machine that looked like that one he was strapped to before

  the maze.

  This machine had the name of Tessla, the man who found many uses for electricity. The

  machine was a little different from the one he was strapped into. This machine had a

  full head piece that would cover a full grown man’s head. It also looked like it could

  generate its own electricity. One thing Tessla was known for was he showed that

  electricity could be used as a way to execute people on death row. The head piece

  looked like the one that is used on the electric chair. The chair would send a large

  amount of electricity to the person's head and for lack of a better word it would fry the

  brain causing the person to die. They say the person doesn’t suffer but after having to

  deal with something like it, Wright had to abject to that thought because it hurt and it

  hurt a lot.

  Wright went to another machine and the name on it was John Henson, a man known

  for his brutality when killing his victims. John Henson would slowly cut his victims

  until they died from blood loss or shock. The machine had a lever and it was attached to

  two swinging scythes that looked like they slowly came down and slowly cutting the

  person on the table. Wright looked up at the blades and saw that like the table they

  were stained with blood. Wright thought that dying that way would be a horrible way

  to die, especially if you felt every cut that it made. Wright looked under the table and

  saw that the table could move so it wouldn’t be cutting in one spot but all over the

  body. Wright figured that the blades would only come down to a certain height then it

  would stay at that height until the person controlling it saw the person on the table.

  Wright cringed at the thought of watching that blade come down and slowly cut him

  open.

  Wright stepped away from that machine and saw one that looked weird, it was where

  the person would be dunked in water then electrocuted. It looked like the person's head

  would be submerged in water then someone would but two rods in the water and turn

  on the machine to electrocute the person that was submerged. Wright tried to find a

  name on the machine but there wasn’t any. The machine was a board and a tilting block

  and at one end was a large bucket full of water and on the side were the two rods. There

  wasn’t any blood on the machine mainly because there was no way to cut or mam a

  person on it. Wright saw Nurse Peters smiling while she used this, he only wondered

  who her victims were.

  Wright continued to walk around the room until he came upon a board with known

  and suspected killers. One was Thomas Allan who was suspected of killing his family

  during a Thanksgiving dinner at his aunt’s ranch. Mr. Allan was arrested on December

  2 nd 1959 on suspicion, but no one could prove it was him, so in February of 1960 they let

  him go and have been watching him ever since. Mr. Allan was also a suspect in another

  murder of a little boy w
ho was kidnapped then stabbed to death and left in a field.

  Another person on the board was a man named Tim Walker who killed thirty-seven

  people at an old folk’s home where his friend’s grandmother was. Mr. Walker was

  charged in January 23 rd 1960 of the murder and he is still waiting to go to trial for it. Mr.

  Walker won’t even talk to his attorney about it and clams he is innocent. Wright saw

  Tony Dalengo the mobster who was guilty of at least two murders and suspected of

  thirty more but never proven. That’s when Wright saw his picture and a news article of

  how he shot Tony in the back three times.

  There were news articles of other killers like Jack the Ripper, Tony Vans, Jack Johnson

  who all killed prostitutes. Tony Vans was an American that hated prostitutes because

  his mother was one and never spent time with him. He started killing small animals at

  the age of nine then moved to prostitutes at the age of twenty-three. Mr. Vans was

  found guilty in the summer of 1955 and sentenced to death in 1957 but killed himself in

  prison a month after being convicted. Jack Johnson killed prostitutes just because he

  loved hearing women scream for their lives. Mr. Johnson was charged in April of 1949

  and sentenced to death in May of 1954. When he was on the electric chair he said all he

  wants is to hear one more scream. Everyone clapped when they pulled the switch and

  started to cheer. Jack the Ripper was never caught and no one knows who he really was

  they only know that he killed prostitutes maybe for fun. Wright looked at the board and

  it seemed like there were hundreds of killers on the board and that’s when he saw his

  bad. Justin Wright was charged with murder and attempted murder. Mr. Wright killed

  his wife and tried to kill his son to but when he heard the police coming he ran out the

  back door to try and escape. That was when Detective Wright wanted to become a

  police officer.

  Wright looked at another board that was by the killer’s board and saw victims from the

  killers. Wright then saw his mother on the board, Lucy Wright, who loved her husband,

  even though he was a drunk, and loved her son. Some of the victims were known

  rapists, wife beaters and suspected killers. He also saw suspected victims like Lara

  Martinez who Wright was assigned to, they had no leads to where she might be so

  everyone thought that she went back to Mexico. He also saw Jenna Walters who was a

  prostitute that worked mainly at night in the slums but no one was investigating her

  disappearance. No one cared if a prostitute went missing. There was Jenny Brown,

  April Hernandez, Olive Rizal, and Jack Peters. Wright wondered if Jack Peters was

  Nurse Peter’s husband or maybe siblings. Then he wondered how someone could do

  that to your own family and what machine did she use on him. There were mainly

  women on the board but there were also a few men on there, some on there were local

  people that had gone missing a few years back.

  Wright saw that there were about thirty people that were local, he noticed all of them

  had gone missing after the time that the asylum was built. The asylum was meant to

  help people but it looked to Wright that Nurse Peters used it as a front to torture and

  kill people. He then wondered if Doctor White knew about this and how the maze was

  built without anyone knowing. Wright then started to wonder if the benefactor wanted

  all this and if he knew or maybe there was more than one. Maybe the asylum was built

  on a cave and the maze was easy to build inside the cave. There had to be more to this

  asylum than what they say, there’s no way no one knew about all this. Wright also

  wondered who all was involved in all these murders and why he was the only one to

  find this room.

  Wright hated to see his mother on the board and hated to see everyone on the board, at

  least he knew where all the locals went. Wright knew he had to stop this, he had to find

  Nurse Peters and arrest her to stop her experiments. Wright wondered how long Nurse

  Peters had been killing people and how many has she killed. It looked like Nurse Peters

  worshiped all this killers and wanted to be just like them but how did she get all this

  money to do it. Wright continued to look around the room and at all the machines, he

  thought it had cost a fortune for all these machines there’s no way she could afford to

  pay for all of these machines. Wright also wondered where she got all these machines

  from, it’s not like you could go to the nearest supply store and get them. He looked in

  the top left corner of the room and saw a generator that looked like it powered

  whatever machine that she wanted to use.

  The generator looked like it has been there for years, maybe two at the least. The

  generator took up about ten feet of the corner. Wright started to wonder how she got

  these machines down here without anyone knowing about it someone had to know

  Doctor White had to be a part of it or at least know something of it. Doctor White didn’t

  seem like the type of person that would condone actions like this but in Wright’s line of

  work you could never tell. Wight unplugged the machine that was hooked up to the

  generator and tried to move the generator. The generator was very heavy, maybe about

  one hundred pounds. Wright finally made it budge but he would have to make it move

  further if he expected to move it away from the machines. Wright stopped to think

  about what he was going to do to the generator so it won’t be used again for torture

  He looked around maybe he could tip a machine on it and break it but who knew how

  heavy the machines were. The only other option was to drop it down the pit but then

  what about the bodies if that’s where they were. After a while Wright decided that the

  best place to put it in the pit, he was sure that the dead wouldn’t mind having a

  hundred pound generator dropped on their corpse. It might have taken him about five

  minutes to pull it to the edge of the pit, then he stopped to rest for a little bit then

  continued to push it the rest of the way in. When it hit the bottom it made a splashing

  sound so Wright thought that the bodies have already decomposed.

  Wright looked around the room and knew he had to do something about all the

  machines, that way no one would ever have to be subject to this kind of torture in this

  place again. Wright then looked at the pit and thought if he could push everything into

  the pit there might be no way to the machines out of there. His plan depended on how

  deep the pit was, he was hoping it was deep enough to hide it from whoever came in

  here next to use them. Wright pushed a few machines down the pit and other machines

  were too heavy to move. He kept moving the machines to the pit and thinking of a way

  to get the heavy machines in the pit. When Wright got done pushing the tables and the

  lighter machines down the pit he looked around the room to see if there was a way to at

  least destroy the machines but he found no crowbar, no bat, nothing that could help

  him destroy them. Wright then tested the machines to see if he rocked them if they

  would move so he could rock them to the pit.

  Wright found some of the machines were bolted to the ground but others he could rock,

  so the ones he could he rocked them over to the pit then let them fall in. Wright saw no />
  way to destroy the machines that were bolted so he tried to open them up to pull some

  of the wires. Wright looked at his watch to see the time, it was now 10:20pm so he knew

  he had to hurry before Tony killed him so he could stop the mass murder like he was

  planning to do. Wright didn’t know how a ghost could kill him but he knew Tony could

  find a way. Wright found one machine with wires exposed so he pulled on them until

  they ripped out of the machine and then threw the wires in the pit, hoping that no one

  would be able to get them. Then only machine left was the one that reminded him of

  the machine he was hooked up to, he wanted it destroyed and fast just in case Nurse

  Peters showed up. Wright decided to take the head piece apart and sick it into what

  looked like vents and turn it on.

  Wright tore the wires out of the head piece and stuck it in the vents, then looked at the

  machine to see how to turn it on. Wright pulled a switch but nothing was happening, he

  then saw an on button, when he pushed it nothing happened. He then put the switch

  up and pressed the button again then pulled the switch. Wright heard some crackling in

  the machine then smelled smoke, he stepped back just in case it caught fire or exploded.

  Suddenly he heard a loud pop and the machine turned off, smoke poured out from the

  machine. Wright then took both the boards that were on the wall and threw them into

  the pit so no one would have the board of killers and the trophy board. Wright looked

  at the room, it was finally clear of most of the torture machines, the ones that were still

  in the room no longer worked.

  Wright was happy with what he did, now no one would get tortured down here, at

  least not for a while. Wright wished he could have done more and done it before all

  these people lost their lives to such a demented woman. Wight looked down the pit and

  still couldn’t see anything down there, he looked around the room for a torch but

  couldn’t find any. Wright remembered that he saw a few outside so he walked to the

  door and tried to open it but it was locked from the outside. Wright jiggled the handle

  but it wouldn’t open, so he gave up trying to find a torch and started to walk around

  the room to find a way out. He then saw a window on the far left wall, he walked over
