Everything comes to its beginning

The Captain Lamar Bronx of the Atlanta Police Department was in an old warehouse at south of the city with Officer Mercedes and Sergeant Cons who proceeded to tell him what happened.

Captain Lamar was planning to go home early after work that day. The captain had been working non-stop for several days on the case of a serial killer, Crox Cumber, who had recently somehow escaped from state prison and had recently been spotted in Atlanta. They almost caught the criminal at the station after several weeks of tracking him down by raiding him where he was supposed to be hiding, but by the time they had caught him, the killer had magically disappeared and a week later, they had heard absolutely nothing about him, as if he had disappeared off the face of the earth. This left everyone at the station pretty low, that was a good time to gain some recognition for the department, but in a way that they still couldn't explain, they failed miserably.

Lamar was looking forward to going home to his wife and two beautiful daughters. He hadn't been able to see them for several days and was anxious to see his beloved daughters. But when the captain drove to the parking lot to get his car (a Mitsubishi Lancer he was protecting like a baby) he had run into Officer Mercedes in the coach, who told him that Sergeant Cons was urgently and immediately requesting his assistance at a crime scene south of the city. Lamar tried to explain to him that he had no time and that there was no reason for him to go directly to a crime scene being the captain, inventing an excuse that he had to get home and prepare the files for the Crox Killer case, but he had been quite insistent, telling him that when the Sergeant communicated with him, he sounded quite nervous and upset and that he was almost screaming for him to take him to the scene.

The captain sighed and ended up accepting those unpaid overtime hours he would have to do. Lamar thought how strange it was that even though he was a captain, none of his subordinates seemed to care much about this and many times it seemed as if he was the one, who always took orders from everyone else, probably due to the fact that he was so young, only twenty-five years old and already a captain of the forces, something he had achieved through effort and hard work, but some seemed to be a little intimidated, especially Sergeant Cons, who had remained a sergeant for almost ten years and had not managed to climb up the department's hierarchy after so long.

The captain was escorted by Mercedes on a patrol, the trip lasted almost half an hour, it was very late at night and few people were on the streets at that hour, only a few criminals, prostitutes and drug addicts, who loved that area of the city.

Lamar and Mercedes arrived at the warehouse, there were several patrols forming a perimeter around the area. Cons was waiting for them just outside the area, the gray-haired, grumpy-faced man looked a little different than on other days, normally the man was quite serious, straight, with a permanent expression of anger, but that night he had a bad body expression, covered his mouth with a handkerchief and looked like he was about to vomit.

Sergeant Cons acted in a much calmer and less intimidating manner and even gave the corresponding martial salute, something that the man normally preferred to ignore upon seeing him. He really had a pretty bad face and that's when Lamar began to suspect that something really bad was happening. Sergeant Cons had been in the department for quite some time and was already used to seeing the most horrible things a man was capable of, but at that moment he looked like a rookie who had seen one every time and apparently was not the only one, all the officers present looked in pretty bad shape and some were even sitting in the patrols with their eyesight lost and others were even vomiting.

Cons took him to the main door of the warehouse, that was one of those old warehouses where drug dealers used to keep their merchandise or where the rich of the time kept their not so legal belongings. Cons told him how a couple of officers first arrived at the place because of a report of a woman who was having a night walk in the area and apparently saw a strange man lurking in the area, the officers thought it was nothing important, but they still went to check it out. They spent a few minutes walking around the area and checking that everything was in order, and when they were about to leave, the officers noticed a rather horrible smell? And Lamar could also perceive it when they were approaching the entrance, they weren't inside yet, but it was as if the smell permeated the whole area.

It was a smell like Lamar had never felt before, it was as if they combined the smell of fish guts with dog shit, rotten eggs and alcoholic vomit, it was the most disgusting thing he had ever smelled. He wasn't the only one, Officer Mercedes was close to vomiting and the sergeant squinted and pressed his handkerchief against his nose. Lamar arrived at the entrance where the smell was even worse and Cons asked him if he was prepared to see what they found. He was not sure, but if that was important enough to force him to do overtime, he should see it.

Mercedes opened the rusty metal doors that were about to fall down and they went in... And what Captain Lamar of the Atlanta police force witnessed would haunt him for the rest of his life. The scene was filled with hundreds, perhaps thousands of bodies of men of all kinds, of different sizes, colors, nationalities, all dead in horrible ways, some piled up like piles of bodies, they had huge holes in their chests, others were stuck on spikes with their stomachs open, others were in strange poses with limbs torn off, heads severed, penises cut off, Heads crushed, hands strewn all over like rose petals, some were in such a way that they recreated famous paintings, like a man who was sitting on a chair, his skin had been removed and his lips were held with pearls to make it look like he was smiling, hundreds of corpses, that place looked like the art gallery of the most disturbed psychopath of all.

Lamar could see that all of the bodies, their penises had been removed and there were no women among the corpses. The captain almost threw up when he saw such an unprecedented scene, the amount of flies in the place was absurd, there must have been thousands and thousands, living in that orgy of corpses, filled the whole place like a dark cloud. Mercedes couldn't stand it and had to go out and vomit and Lamar finally understood why even someone like Cons was in such a bad way, that made the word disgusting and repugnant have a softer meaning.

Lamar continued walking around the place, he could notice that all the bodies were placed in such a way that they made a path to pass through, as if they were a field of flowers that opened up so that no one would disturb such a work, the captain followed this path along with Cons and after a few seconds, they reached the end and what they found was one of the most bizarre things he had seen up to that moment.

At the end of the road was almost like a painting or a diorama, the dead body of a woman sitting on a throne similar to those kings wore, the body was completely naked, the woman had her hands, feet and head cut off and where the latter should be, there was a gold crown with gems that looked really expensive. The woman posed with one hand raised as if she were waving and with the other hand holding a scepter also made of gold. Around every sight, there were more than a dozen dead men's bodies kneeling, as if they were praising every sight as if it were a god. Lamar could see how the faces of these men were stuck in an expression of terror. Above the throne, there were several men hanging in poses that simulated angels, and in front of the woman, there was a television with a video player and a disc on top with the inscription "Monster".

Lamar couldn't resist the temptation, put the disc in and played it. The TV turned on somehow, even though he didn't see any wires connected to it and an image of the same place appeared on it, somewhat blurred, only without so many bodies and on it, even though it looked really dark, Lamar could see how a man without a shirt and full of blood with cuts all over his body appeared and sat in front of what he thought was a camera. The video didn't look very good and the man's face was covered in darkness, but you could see part of it. And he felt a chill when he saw the wide, hideous smile he had, he could see that he was crying for some reason and that by having his face so full of blood, it made it look as if one of his eyes was crying blood. The man opened his filthy, blood-filled mouth and spoke.

-I finally did it -said the man in the video, you could barely understand what he was saying, the sound was so distorted and the man's voice was unrecognizable, it suddenly changed from a lower tone to a higher one. It took a long time, but I finally did it...

Lamar observed Cons who was also confused and had a horrified expression, the whole thing looked like a horror movie.

-If you see this, it means you found my incredible work of art... Well good for you, you are probably the first to see something so wonderful... But I assure you that you will not be the last. -The man laughed with a dull and monotonous laugh that almost sounded like a robot...- Was it difficult?, no, not at all, it was much easier than you might think, killing it was almost a game, a snack that barely filled my hunger... And as you will understand, that didnt satisfy me, it is natural that I eat more, I cannot stay alone with this snack, whit this remains, I know that I need more... And I will look for much more, nobody can blame me for that...

Lamar went to turn off the TV, but suddenly one of the bodies hanging there fell and it startled him.

-I always knew this day would come -The man said-. For a while I tried to avoid it, but then I realized that I shouldn't avoid what was coming, that I shouldn't fight the current, and finally the day came when everything would begin, when everything would finally come to a beginning... Now is when the world really begins, the history, the course of events... I warn you that I have done things that most humans would be unable to do and by the time you find this video, I will most likely have done many worse ones... And I have no regrets, there would be no point in doing it, it was something inevitable that had to happen and it did happen, after all... I am a monster...

The video ended suddenly with a terrifying sound and when the captain went to remove the record, a sound like a switch sounded and suddenly the TV and video player had a short circuit that ended up in these and the record burning, losing that important evidence, that until today the captain still regrets having lost it... So many things could have been avoided.

That night was the strangest night in Captain Lamar's life and he knew for sure, almost as if he could predict what would happen in the future, that someday, maybe not tomorrow or maybe not in the near future, but he knew that someday he would hear from that man again and it would probably be in an even more macabre and terrifying situation... He knew it very well inside of him... That man was not a human, he was a monster and monsters always come back for more, they never stopped devouring...

The monster would come back to kill...
