The Trial

He is the most infamous serial killer in the last 20 years—everyone has heard the rumors about the orphan maker. However, no one knows his story. Is he a madman who killed indiscriminately? Is he a calculated killer who acts crazy because it’s his only chance at winning a trial? Or is he something else entirely? This is my attempt at a framed story about a fictional serial killer. Everything is made up, and I hope to update every couple or days or once a week if I can. Trying something new!

The Trial
Ranting Defendant Complicates Trial

Chapter 3

By Josef Levi


Everyone has heard of the Orphan Maker. His killing spree has left 38 dead, 23 children without parents, two children missing and millions terrified. Parents have locked doors—not just to protect their children—but to ensure their own safety as the most prolific serial killer in recent history operated with shocking precision and efficiency.


Not a single coherent clue about the mys...

The Trial Pt 2

Chapter 2

Life went on like that. He watched me, brought me food—live, fresh food—and I hunted. No one else came but him and food and me. We were alone at the cabin.


He watched me sleep, stalked my dreams, and had food for me in the morning, however, he never stayed. I was alone all day—everyday. Me, food, my axe and the small stream where I drank were the only signs of life in the dense forrest around the...

The Trial
The Trial Part 1

Chapter 1

It was the night of my 5th birthday. The rain soaked my cholthes: a wool sweater two sizes too large weighed down my shoulders like an anchor while my fuzzy socks sloshed in the puddles inside my shoes. Existing was misery, as nothing I wore trapped heat once the freezing rain filled it. None the less, I wrapped it tighter around me in an attempt to find comfort and shivered.


“It’s going to be fi...

Rotting flowers can still smell sweet… Rot spreads and is impossible to treat Is a sweet smell really worth the price When the rot leads to your sacrifice?...

People are quick to say I saved the day When things start going their way Torches and pitchforks just a day before Funny they aren’t acknowledged anymore

In a compromise everyone gets a prize But the mediator is just called wise Symbols of peace can often end war Does anyone care what I want anymore?

What is gained by being a symbol of peace? Other than being caged like your golden geese?...

You And Me Against The World

Her words were sharp like a knife Intentionally causing others strife My anger was sharper than my wit Causing me to lash out and hit

So we both sat on an opposite side As our tired mother started to chide “You two can keep fighting all the time” “Or can be each others partner in crime”

She went on to explain And it never left my brain One thing my mother said That finally got to my head

“No ...

Behind The Beauty

Every rose is beautiful/ Or that’s what people say/ But a rose doesn’t bloom in a day/

Born a seed/ Beneath a scorching sun/ Life didn’t start with joy and fun/

Even as it grows/ Grass hoppers lick their lips/ And there is no means to avoid children’s grips/

A rose grows thorns first/ Because the world is cruel and brutal/ Without thorns even beauty is but futile/

It’s hard to enjoy/ Something...

Great Minds Think Alone

As news spreads about a disaster like a fire And the situation grows more and more dire She sits awake thousands of miles away Worried about what others need that day Nothing can turn off her mind It’s the way she was designed

There is nothing I can do to help her tonight Though nothing would bring me more delight For my brain is wired in much the same way Trying to figure out the perfect thin...

Gary laughed awkwardly, looking around at the strange collection of people from all walks of life. He did not recognize anyone, nor did he remember how he got there. An Asian man nearby spoke to him in a launguage Gary didn’t recognize. He heard a dark skinned woman call out in Spanish, but he couldn’t understand what she said.

Then, a platform raised from the ground with a lone figure standing o...

My grandmother always told me If you aren’t learning you are dying It’s something I’m always applying So continued growth is a guarantee

My grandmother always told me That we have to be kind to others Of all orientations sizes and colors So of ignorance I would be free

My grandmother told me That you had to have fun Without it life hasn’t begun Which I’ve found to be key

My grandmother told...
