Kill! Slaughter! Maim!

Kill! Slaughter! Maim!--Track 01

This is a fairly recent occurrence, and I do mean recent, as in it happened a few minutes ago, and I am typing up its strange events as I go along. You might want to keep that in mind, anyway, as the title probably tells you, this is a problem with some altered tracks. While most stories often have their roms and things downloaded from the internet, or mysterious files, mine are not.

My iPhone contains many things, and many apps, but I have quite a bit of music. Some, is music downloaded from the Internet, some of the music is from my collection of CDs, most of it is from Itunes.

Now I may seem like I’m contradicting myself, but I am not. One day, this day, I was listening to my iPhone, enjoying my array of tunes, when I heard something odd. Glancing at my iphone, I noticed the song was scratching and flipping like it was stuck. The thing was, it was the only app open, and the bar was still moving along at the same rate. The song cut off a few seconds before its original ending, and there was an odd scraping noise and static at the end of the song. While I do have a few songs with odd noises purposely in them like Daddy Daddy from The Hills Have Eyes Soundtrack and A Thankless Job from the Repo! soundtrack, I assure you that a new-day pop artist on my pop list would not have such odd noises, particularly P!nk.

Shaking my head, I thought to myself, that perhaps, when I had transferred the song from my CD to the laptop to the phone, that another file had some how got mixed into my files. An hour later, one of my songs cuts off 20 seconds early and is replaced with scraping noises, and this time a voice. I can faintly make out “Sh*t...don’t want to…what the f**k.”

Vile words, and not fitting with the song. The song was straight from my CD as well, and had nothing like that. Though the artists did cuss, this was one of their better songs where the usual lyrics were about equality and happiness. I wrinkled my nose at the thought, and wondered if the songs were connected somehow.

As I kept listening to songs, reading a fanfiction, I swore one of my songs was running extra slow. Checking my phone, the bar was moving at the same rate, but the song was lagging. It was by a before mentioned artist, but the song was usually fast and peppy. It seemed dark and twisted, and not in a good way. I skipped the song, and resumed listening, to find the same problem with the next song. It again was a happy song, from one of my most beloved movies, and it only seems fitting I tell you the song (Banana Boat Song or Day-O). It had slowed down almost drastically to the point where it stopped. The bar kept moving, and more scraping noises were heard. This time the words were… “Stop or he’ll come…f**k...stop…”

I was irritated at that, and a slight bit scared. I mean, that wasn’t what you wanted to hear when listening to pleasant music. So, naturally, I did the smart thing. I closed out of the Music app. Putting aside my phone, I turned to my Youtube playlist for music.

Now don’t be expecting me to say “Youtube turned horrific and horrible and some video popped up of somebody having their head cut off,” because of other than telling you that’s not going to happen, I will not say anything like that. No, like I said, it was another file on my computer that wrote over my songs when I was transferring them. I was sure of it, because, that's logical.

I suppose, I should tell you I got my laptop from a family friend who (most likely as a criminal) stole it from somewhere and its dated back to being used in 2006. The year is 2013, and I got it at the beginning of October, so...yes, it may have files on it.

I listened to music on Youtube for awhile, when my Media player popped up, like it does when I listen to files on my computer. I exited it, and assumed that I hit a wrong combination of buttons, but it did not let me exit it. Annoyed, but computer savvy, I opened Task Manager.

It didn’t show Media Player running, so I figured it was a glitch. I went to the the programs, and searched to see what was using the computer, and found nothing. So I ignored the window, figuring it was a glitch and it wasn’t running, but had a delayed exit.

Then, the file started playing. It was only a track, so there was no video. It had a name, 11-9-12-12 19-12-1-21-7-8-20-5-18 13-1-9-13. Yes, very creative, but I listened, deciding if it was interrupting my progress on my story, it was worth listening to.

There was static, and then more scraping and scratching noises. Some of speech is unintelligible, so forgive me, but this is my translation of what was said.

“...Second...ime (time, rhyme, lime, I’m?)...ill...daughter...aim…”

More static, and what sounds like crackling.

“Lul...fought her…mm.”

Slowly, the static faltered out and it became more intelligible.

“...Victim...you...doom...die…el...slot...ey”

Again, less scratching and static.

“New victim...may...you are doomed...die...ill...father...im”

This time, I regretted having headphones in.

“NEW VICTIM I MADE YOU, YOU ARE DOOMED TO DIE! KILL! SLAUGHTER! MAIM!”

I yanked the earbuds out of my ear, and immediately tried to exit the file. No face popped up, to my great surprise (and relief), but I was still frightened. I can recall the grating of the voice. Immediately, I did a file search, I had to delete this file, and not just recycle it, but utterly delete it.

It popped up in results, as well as a text file. I deleted the file and then deleted it permanently in the recycle bin. Sighing, I opened the text file that came with it.

“Did you like my message, I know you’ve heard it to be here? Did you delete it, you better not have? Why? Because then that’s mean. It was only a joke...a cruel...mean joke. Right? You’re laughing aren’t you. Laugh! It’s only a joke. The same way murder is only a joke, right? The police just don’t get it, do they, they don’t see the humor. They don’t see what’s funny. IT’S FUNNY, WHY AREN’T THEY LAUGHING! WHY! WHY! LAUGH! LAUGH! OR ELSE YOU’LL SEE HOW SHORT LIFE REALLY IS!”

I swear, my face turned as pale as a ghosts. I started laughing hysterically, nervous, fear building in my stomach. I deleted the word document as well, and powered down my laptop.

…

At the moment I’m typing this on my desktop computer, and who knows, that may be the end, or it may not be. Come to think of it, why is murder illegal, why can’t we just kill someone. It’s funny, blood coming out of her mouth as I stab her repeatedly, it’s all a joke. Her life fading from her, and its beautiful, a beautiful joke. She didn’t deserve to live, because she couldn’t take any humor, she couldn’t laugh at my jokes. I’m funny, this is funny, everythings funny! This life is a joke, especially with those idiotic Senate members and House members, burn the president, burn him to the ground. KILL! SLAUGHTER! MAIM! WHY AREN’T YOU LAUGHING? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!--------
