The Really Evil Voice

by THX 0477

The voice. The other voice. The silky voice with the delicate drawl. The really evil voice.

The slobbering beast was one thing, a being easily detestable in every way. But the other could reel you in, give you hope, and make you feel. And then, with brutal sophistication dangle you back to the beast, cursing yourself more than him for having fallen once again for the lies.

Crouching atop the entrance to Gordo’s pit of despair, Cole smiled as he listened. The girls had gone silent, like good little girls. They had learned, and he felt good about that. There was a reason he went into teaching, the joy of molding young minds. He knew what he did to them, how he tortured their souls while Gordo amused himself with their bodies.

And he knew, as well and fully as he knew the standard works of Shakespeare, that they deserved it.

Satisfied and content, Cole stood and moved toward the kitchen. He shuddered, a momentary lapse in his reserved calm, when a heavy-handed knock came upon his door.

    So I was right about Cole. The psychological type of monster. I like the heavy-handed knock. Wonder who it is.

    Good stuff. The only problem I had was with the word “destable”. Did you mean destable, as in unstable? Or was “detestable” the word you were going for?

    They make a pretty disturbing couple of characters, I gotta admit. I am also wondering who is at the door.

    @JMSquire, someone/something with extraordinarily large hands I think. Tony Robbins maybe?

    Thanks kaelinn18; I had meant it to be detestable. And thanks for the positive comments, guys. And those who’ve read the whole series probably have a fair guess who could be at the door.

    Excellent job. I can feel the tention that must’ve been in there when all of the girls went silent. Once more the descriptiveness is captivating. Excellent work.
