Oedipus

By
Brandon was a very socially introverted person. The only friend he had was his mother. She was always there for him through thick and thin. He shared his deepest and weirdest secrets with her. Some weirder than usual. Brandon and his mom were so close that if she was younger, you'd have mistaken them for a couple. She knew her son wasn't mentally stable and wanted to help. His dad was aware of that.
Everytime Brandon saw his mom and dad together he seemed to smile and look happy. It appeared he was showing progress. He even befriended the mailman.
One morning, Brandon was eating breakfast - feeling better than usual. His mom noticed that and asked what happened, he said "today's a big day for me!". She didn't understand but felt happy for Brandon as he went off to school. His mom couldn't help but worry about Brandon. Then suddenly, she heard all the doors locking and gasoline being poured into the house. Brandon's dad wasn't around that day, she had no one to call. She tried her best to open up a window. It worked but she was suddenly pushed back in and greeted by a match being thrown into the house setting it ablaze.
Brandon got home and saw his house in flames, his mother's body - burnt to a crisp.
His phone rang and it was the mailman calling. Brandon picked it up and answered in a monotonous voice - "Good Job"

Pipe Issues

As Melinda put on the shower, the water slowly turned red. She gasped and got out of the bathroom. She went to get a drink of water from the sink and the water also turned red. Now Melinda was very worried and scared. She picked up her phone and had seen a missed call from her therapist, she dismissed it and proceeded to call the plumber. He arrived and she told him the entire ordeal. He said the pipes might have some issues. They then proceeded to the tank where the water was stored. The plumber moved to take a look into the tank and gasped with fear. Suddenly and without warning, he was beaten to a pulp, his head smashed, and thrown into the tank landing on top of another body. Melinda looked in the tank and said - "So that's why it's red, I really should stop forgetting where I dump bodies"

A Man Walks Into a House

By
A man walks into a house. He sees 2 babies in different cots - one blue and one pink. The man's arrival seems to have woken one of the babies as it is now crying at the top of it lungs, but no one else in the house responds. It seems like the parents of the babies are not in the house. There is no evidence to suggest that this man has encountered this family before, but he goes on to carry the crying baby. He holds the baby with so much care, it could be his own. His face remains expressionless as he lays the baby down into an industrial blender on the ground in the store room. It is unclear why this family has an industrial blender in their house, but the man doesn't seem to mind. He turns it on. The piercing wails of the innocent infant he just sentenced to an untimely death does not seem to faze him, and if it does, he doesn't show it. He goes to the kitchen for 2 minutes and comes back with a cup of coffee - decaf. He turns off the blender and looks inside to see a...
