CHAPTER 16 – STRIPPED BEAR

All you do is take a knife,

And cut your troubles from your life.

ONCE OUT OF SIGHT, Carmen let herself relax and the pain in her knee was beyond anything that had come before. All other pains had faded into insignificance in comparison to the blowtorch that now burned in her knee. She leaned against the wall and took the weight off the bad left knee, and the relief was immense. She slid down the wall and sat on the floor. She would have stayed there for an hour if it hadn’t been for what she saw in the kitchen.

In her exhausted state, she looked around and saw that one of the dining room chairs was laid on the kitchen floor. It hadn’t been there when she had left the house. A vision came into her head of the teddy bear gone and the four cable ties in a neat little pile with another poem laid next to them, taunting her. The little cunt has escaped and done another disappearing act, she thought to herself. Carmen struggled to her feet and went to investigate.

Much to her delight, Mr Stephen was still very much tied to the table and chairs, but he had been trying to escape. No doubt the shadow man had been attempting to free his furry avatar and hide it before she had returned. The table had been pulled three feet into the kitchen and it looked like someone had been trying to pull the teddy free by pulling at the chair. The cable ties were pulled tight and there was no way the bear would come loose. There was a knife on the floor, as though someone had been trying to cut the ties off but they hadn’t been able to get the knife blade under the ties to cut them all the way through. The ties had slight cuts on them where the knife had been jabbed at them.

A large grin swept over Carmen face. “Trying to escape are we, well you have fucking had it now”. This was the moment she had been waiting for, and she was going to enjoy every second of it. She picked up the knife, stabbed it into the centre or the teddy bear’s chest, and the sharp blade of the large vegetable knife went in through the buttons on the teddy’s green waist coat and through the other side of its body. The muffled screams of the shadow man could be heard inside Carmen’s head and she knew she had won. She expected the shadow man to appear and wrestle the knife from her hand, and possibly try to stab at her with it, but there was no sign of him. The sun shone through the kitchen window and the shadow man was strongest during the night time hours. She was killing the ghost, or entity, or astral projection that embodied the toy. She was not going to stop there. She cut the teddy’s left arm
