On a sunny day, in Crosswood Prison, two prisoners were having a little chit-chat, while having lunch.

Prisoner 1: Hey, why do these stupid guards even call this broth as food? I'm so done with this sh*t.

Prisoner 2: Well, we should be happy that they even gave us something to eat. Because ....... (stopped talking suddenly and started starring at the prisoner before him)

Prisoner 1: Looks like someone is trying to become a good man (in a sarcastic way). Anyway, pass the water cup.

Observed prisoner 2 looking at someone.

Prisoner 1: Hey, who are you looking at? (gave prisoner 2 a jerk with his hand)

Prisoner 2: (with a disgusting look) Can you see that psychopath over there? Don't ever indulge with him.

Prisoner 1: Why so? Is he some kind of a no touch doll? Looks like a decent guy though.

Prisoner 2: Don't let your eyes fool you. He is worse than you can ever imagine. We did very small crimes compared to that monster.

Prisoner 1: What do you mean?

Prisoner 2: His name is Brendan Cooper. He killed 13 teenagers brutally, only for fun.

Prisoner 1: Sounds like a maniac. But how did the cops find him?

Prisoner 2: They were never even able to find his hideout. He surrendered.

Prisoner 1: (SURPRISED) Surrendered? Doesn't look the type to realize his own mistakes. Then why?

Prisoner 2: Nobody knows. He never told anyone. He never uttered a word after coming to the prison.

They both cursed Cooper for a while and left to their cells.

The next day, Cooper was summoned by a psychiatrist. He followed the guards and went to the psychiatrist with his utter silence. He sat in front of the doctor.

Psychiatrist: Hello Mr. Cooper. I'm Susan Lovelace. I am here to exam you for today, as instructed by the prosecutor.

She took a glance over Cooper. He was in his prison clothes, with his legs crouched inside the chair. He didn't lift his head even to say hello back.

Psychiatrist: Looks like you don't want to introduce yourself. So, let me get straight to the point. I want to know why you surrendered yourself. Why did you not utter a word ever since that day? What exactly were you doing on that day? What made you surrender yourself?

Cooper remained silent. Then he suddenly raised his head like someone called him. He had this scary expression on his face. Susan was surprised for a second and asked him if he was alright. He was sweating like hell in a room with an air conditioner

He suddenly looked at Susan and said,

"Everyone thinks that I murdered 13 people only, but I killed 15.

Three months ago, I was stalking a teenager. It was a girl, I followed her to her house. It was a chilly night and she was walking alone. After she went inside her house, I decided to capture her the next night and was on my way back. But she came outside yelling, "Fine. I don't want to be in this house any more than you want me to be. I'm leaving and never going to come back."

She ran outside till she reached the main road. It was very dark and cold that night. I felt like it was a great opportunity to make her one of my collections. I followed her slowly without being noticed for about half an hour.

A drunkard suddenly came out of nowhere and tried to grab her hand. She kicked that man and flipped him. I let my guard down because of the situation and she noticed me. I was wearing a black hoodie with a knife in my hands. She noticed the knife and quickly turned around and started walking forward.

I had fun making her scared. As she kicked the drunkard, I felt like I was going to have more fun by fighting against her. So, I increased my pace too. She walked forward by looking at me with her scary eyes. She started running. I ran after her with my knife in my raised arm. She ran towards the woods behind the town. I felt she was too dumb to take that path. I let her go into the woods and followed her quietly. Because I know the woods from every corner as I live there.

As I approached into the woods, I could hear her footsteps from afar. I followed them. As I went closer to her, I could hear her breathing as she was breathing heavily. The night was brightly lit by the full moon. I noticed a shadow behind a tree due to the moonlight. I knew it was her.

I grabbed her neck from behind and said, "You can't escape from me."

She kicked me with her legs, but it was no use because I didn't let her go. She started weeping. She tried to free herself from my hand. But I held her even more tightly. When I was about to stab her from behind, I heard a man's voice coming from afar in the woods. He shouted, "Lilly, where are you? Give me a sign darling. Please."

That man was screaming with a hoarse voice. He again said, "Hey, whoever you are, please let my daughter go. I'll give you whatever you want, just let her go. Plea...please.....please........."

I was surprised for a second. I didn't observe him coming after the girl. While I was flooded with my confusion, the girl bit my hand and shouted for her father.

I stabbed her on her shoulder and warned her not to scream. I told her that if she screamed, I would kill her father. She cried and grabbed my leg and requested me to let her father go. I kicked her towards the floor and pushed her on to a tree's trunk. At the same time, the girl's father approached me from behind with a rock and threw it on me. I bled and fell down due to the hit. He went towards his daughter and put pressure on her wound with his hands. He kept apologizing to her for being angry at her.

I was agitated at the moment. I tried to stab both of them but they started running. The girl hurt her feet due to vigorous running. So, she couldn't run quickly. The man carried her on his shoulders. He was slow as well, due to his age. He was breathing heavily and was exhausted.

I kept running towards them with increasing speed. We almost reached the cliff. The girl looked behind and understood that they both can't escape together. She jumped down from her father's back and pushed her father on the ground and said, "Please save yourself. Try to be alive, dad. I love you."

When she was saying that, I grabbed her from behind and stabbed right through her heart. She died right away. I was finally relaxed and started laughing with my heart out. I thought I can kill the man very easily. He was shocked and started weeping. With that excruciating pain, he glared at me. I could see the hatred he felt towards me.

He suddenly stood up and tried to push me over the cliff. I somehow managed to escape from his grip. But he grabbed me and jumped over the cliff. I immediately grabbed a branch that grew on the rocks. I grabbed it very tightly but due to the man's weight, it was not enough. I tried to get rid of him, but he held my waist very tightly. He looked at me with so much anger that it almost scared me.

I truly was scared. I tried very strongly to let go of him but he held me even more tightly. The branch was about to break. I couldn't control myself anymore. I stabbed his left hand with my knife in my other hand. He still didn't let go with all the pain. I was scared and raised my hand to the peak and stabbed him even more strongly. He let go of me and fell down. As I saw him fall, I noticed that his left hand was ripped off because he fell on a sharp tipped rock.

I found my way onto the top and walked towards my cabin. I had this strange feeling that I did something wrong for the first time. Even when I killed all those teenagers, I never felt fear or sorrow or pain. But I felt that something was not right for some reason. I tried to let go of the feeling and fell over my bed as I was too exhausted.

The next day, I buried the girl's body somewhere very far from where I usually bury my victims. I tried to search for the man's body but to my utmost surprise, I couldn't find it. It was already night time. I went to the convenience store as I felt hungry. I ate a hamburger and was on my way back.

It suddenly started raining. It poured down heavily. I was rushing towards the woods. I saw a man standing near the woods. He was wearing a black leather jacket with a hat and was holding an umbrella with his right hand. As I was entering the woods, he said, "Hey young man, do you want an umbrella?"

He didn't look at me though. I quickly went under the umbrella and asked him what he was doing there. He didn't reply. But it stopped raining suddenly. I thanked him for the umbrella and was on my way back.

He said, "Can I get a cup of coffee? I've been craving for one since evening."

As he lent me his umbrella, I accepted his request and took him to my cabin in the woods. As we were walking, I noticed that he was missing his left hand. I made him coffee. After taking a sip, I was very curious to know about him as he felt strangely familiar. So, I asked him, "What happened to your left hand?"

He looked at me with his red eyes almost bulging outside and smiled in a scary way and said, "Don't you remember, YOU ARE THE ONE WHO CUT IT."

I spilled my coffee and collapsed down. He suddenly stood up and somehow his left hand started growing, which was longer than his body. He grabbed my neck with that hand and pushed me towards the wall.

He said, "YOU THOUGHT YOU CAN GET AWAY AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO ME AND MY DAUGHTER. I WILL SHOW YOU THE HELL THAT YOU SHOWED HER."

I screamed loudly and closed my eyes. But when I opened them, I was hanging over the cliff holding the same branch as I did the other day. That man flew beside me and broke the branch with a big laugh. I was falling down. As I went down, I thought that moment was my last. I cried out of fear. But that man grabbed me from below with his long-left hand and said, "YOU REALLY THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO KILL YOU. THAT IS A VERY SMALL PUNISHMENT FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE. I WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU REMEMBER THE FACE OF EVERYONE THAT YOU KILLED."

He later took me to the police station and made me confess everything. I've been having nightmares ever since. He never lets me sleep. He makes me hear all the miserable voices of my victims before they died. He tortures me everyday internally. I never speak because he never lets me."

After Cooper ended confessing, Susan was left in silence. She immediately drank the water kept in front of her. She was sweating all over. She asked if it was really the truth. Cooper nodded his head saying yes.

She asked him about why he didn't tell the cops about his last two victims. He didn't reply, he crouched his head down.

She asked, "Why are you telling me all this now?"

Cooper pointed his finger to her left side and said, "Because the man with no left hand is telling me to."

Susan was completely freaked out. When she turned around, she couldn't see anyone. She didn't know what to make of it. She left immediately saying that she had something urgent to take care of.

She couldn't sleep all night. She kept thinking about who the other two victims were. In the morning, her housemaid came to her and said, "Ma'am, I still can't get a hold on your husband."

She said with anger, "I don't know where that idiot took my daughter. It's been almost six months since I saw her. I told him not to take her with him to his stupid field trip. He never listens to me. Just because I got angry at him, he even broke contact with me. I even reported to the cops. I hope they can find her soon."

Susan later went to the prosecution office and asked the prosecutor in charge of Cooper's case about the last victims. Surprisingly, he said that Cooper never told him about any 14 and 15 victims. "He might have been kidding with you." he said. When he asked about Cooper's condition, she said that she still needed time to figure that out.

In the afternoon, Susan got a call from the prosecutor that Cooper wanted to meet her. She immediately left to see Cooper. Cooper was usually in his crouched position, she asked him why he called for her.

He asked for a pen and paper. He wrote some coordinates and said that those were the places where he hid his last two victims. She got excited and sent them to the prosecution office.

After two days, they found the bodies and sent them to the forensic lab. In about a week, the results were found. The prosecutor called Susan and asked her to come over. He gave the results with a big sigh. She saw them with a little confusion. After she knew to whom those bodies belonged to, she collapsed on the floor. It was found that the bodies belonged to "BENGAMIN LOVELACE" and "LILY LOVELACE"

Back story:

The night when Lily was killed, she went home late. When she opened the door, she saw her father smoking with gloomy eyes. She immediately shouted, "Dad, didn't you say that you were going to quit smoking? What are you doing right now? Is this what I get for lying to Mom and coming with you?"

Benjamin threw the cigarette on his left hand and yelled, "What makes you think that you can shout at me? I'll do what I want to. Both mother and daughter are trying to boss over me. If you are really that uncomfortable, just leave right now. GET OUT, YOU LITTLE BRAT."

With tears in her eyes, she went outside, yelled and smashed the door at Benjamin. After some time, Benjamin felt sorry for what he said to Lily. She supported him and came with him when he asked her to. Even when he told her not to contact Susan, she patiently listened to him, without complaining. He quickly realized his mistake and ran outside to apologize to her.

He searched for her everywhere, but couldn't find her. He thought maybe she went into the woods. When he arrived the woods, he observed Lily running into the woods and a strange man following her with a knife. He was shocked and ran after them. He trembled as he went into the woods.

Benjamin wanted their bodies to be found only by Susan. He chased after Cooper with an urge to kill him but thought that he might get to see Susan, if he threatened him mentally. He really wanted to apologize to Lily and Susan for what he did to them.
