The Serial Killer’s Ghoul

The graveyard was at rest, a low hanging fog hugged the ground, tombstones showing through like frozen ghosts. The cemetery dated back to the mid 1800’s. It was named after the Grending family, the first prominent people to settle the area. No new graves had been dug for years; the weeds and tall grass flourishing. With no relatives left alive to visit, the graveyard had begun melding into its surroundings, becoming a part of the landscape.

The place was miles from town, and off of the main roads. The wild vegetation and rancid odor from the nearby bog kept people away; the town forgetting the long dead. It was the reason Brian Hinkerly, a dentist, had bound the ghoul there.

He parked his Chevy Tahoe behind a blossoming lilac tree, hiding it from view of the road. The nearest residence was a good three miles away, but he had to be vigilant. If a body was ever discovered, the ghoul unable for whatever reason to finish its meal, Brian wanted no one to be able to identify him. As desolate an area as Grending Cemetery was, there was always the chance someone could wander into it. In today’s world no place was too remote or unreachable.

The young woman, Harriet Baker, lay in the back of the truck. Brian opened the rear hatch, grabbed a lantern and slung the strap over his shoulder. He would need two hands for the task ahead. The woman was beginning to stir. He grabbed her ankles and yanked her out of the vehicle. The woman landed hard on the muddy ground, splattering Brian’s plastic covered shoes with muck. Her feet and wrists were bound with barbed wire while duct tape covered her mouth. A line of mucus trailed from her left nostril like an alien worm.

Brian shut the hatch, locked the car and grabbed the woman’s ankles before he started dragging her.

She shook her head back and forth, her long blonde hair wild and picking up twigs and leaves. She attempted to scream, but the duct tape over her mouth kept her quiet. He laughed at her writhing and inaudible pleading, dragging her up the inclined rocky path to the graveyard.

He stopped outside of the cemetery gates. They were wrought iron, made from fine craftsmanship, with two gargoyles perched atop. Years of rain, wind, and snow, rusted the iron work, making them appear ancient.

He always kept the gate partially open, enough to fit himself through. If anyone came along, he wanted it to look as if no one had visited the place.

He brought the woman through, pulling her a few feet inside the yard before letting go of her ankles. She continued to struggle and moan in pain, her back bruised from having been hauled over jagged rocks.

Brian pulled a small gutting knife from his pocket. Easily concealed, it was his favorite weapon of choice for small, deep incisions. He bent down next to the whining female and sliced a one inch line down the inside of her right wrist.
