He was scouring the online escort and massage websites - searching for the perfect one. He had been searching for hours in a constant frenzy. He was looking for the perfect one - the one he could kill so that his mother would come back to him. The adverts blended into each other - one image after another of Asian women, brunette women, blond women, Russian women, and Latin American women. The lurid headlines of the adverts flashed before his eyes - and then he saw her. The photo showed a blonde woman and the headline read “New in Town”.

Her name was Annabelle - and as he stared at her photos he could immediately feel the attraction. She was perfect - and he read the advert;

Annabelle, new in town. I’m 35 yo and tall, blonde and busty. I am very submissive and will do anything you ask for. I am particularly interested in meeting dates who are interested in domination, bondage, and violent role play (receive / not give). Nothing is off limits - and all services are offered. Everything is on the table. Don’t be shy - message me and let’s arrange some special time together. I’m happy to meet in remote locations or dangerous situations xoxoxo

He read the advert over and over again - and flicked through the photos of Annabelle wearing lingerie hundreds of times. He heard his mother speaking to him - telling him that Annabelle was the one. His mother told him that if he killed Annabelle - she would come back to him.

He masturbated to Annabelle’s photos - and imagined her strapped to the chair at his grandmother’s deserted farmhouse. He had some work to do and lots of things to prepare for before he could meet Annabelle. After Todd’s death in the crusher he had some time on his hands, so he decided to drive up to the farmhouse to prepare everything.

He visited the lumber yard and purchased some wood for the chair. He then visited the hardware store and purchased some nylon straps that he would use as the restraints for the chair. He purchased some bolts to fasten the chair to the new concrete floor in the barn and a large tarpaulin - and purchased a large animal cage and locks. He arranged for everything to be delivered to the farmhouse. Whilst he was waiting for the supplies to be delivered, he worked on the farm's tractor - and managed to get it running. He drove it down the trails away from the farm and found a secluded area of wooded land about a mile from the cottage, and he dug a hole with the auger just beyond the tree line. The next day after everything was delivered, he started work on building his new torture chamber.

By the weekend the torture chamber was ready - and he sat in the chair inside the cage and imagined Annabelle sitting there naked and restrained. He found his cattle prod and put it on to charge - and then locked the barn and headed back to the city.

In the city he visited the Chinese market and bought a used mobile phone. He stopped at a kiosk near the bus station and bought a prepaid SIM card and then headed downtown. He met with a dealer he knew, and bought some ketamine and then parked up near a busy intersection. He pushed the SIM card into the phone and then turned it on. He retrieved Annabelle’s contact information from his other phone, and then messaged her.

Hey Annabelle. How r u doing?

He waited for a reply - and the notification appeared.

Hey baby. Are you looking for company? xo

He typed a reply.

Yes - when r u free?

He waited for the reply - and it flashed up on his screen.

Always free. When do you want to meet? Xo

It was Saturday - and he had to be back at work on Monday. He would want a good few days with Annabelle to enjoy himself before he killed her. He called the office where he worked and told them that he was still upset about what had happened with Todd, and that he was having nightmares. The office manager told him to take the next week off as well - and to not speak to anyone from the city's health and safety department.

He messaged Annabelle back.

Tonight?

He waited for the reply….

Sure - what time and where? Xo

Meet me at the corner of Provost and Main @ 6PM - message me when u r there.

He waited for the reply.

Sure baby - see you there @ 6 xoxo

He shut the phone down and removed the SIM card. He drove to a liquor store and bought a half bottle of vodka and then drove back to his apartment.

####

He sat at the kitchen table and mixed the ketamine in with the vodka, while he smoked a cigarette. His mother sat opposite him at the table.

‘I’m so proud of you’ - said his mother - ‘Doing all of this for me.’

He smoked his cigarette and smiled at her.

‘Is this real?’ - He asked - ‘Or am I imagining all of this?’

His mother smiled at him - ‘Did it feel real the other day?’

He nodded.

‘Then it is real.’

He looked at his watch.

‘What time are you meeting her?’

He told his mother that he was meeting her at 6 PM.

‘You had better get going - remember to leave your phone here.’

He placed his personal phone on the kitchen table and put the bottle of spiked vodka in his jeans pocket.

‘Good luck’ - said his mother, and he walked over and kissed her on the forehead and left the apartment.

He drove along Provost and pulled up in a parking spot down from the junction with Main Street. He lit a cigarette and checked his watch. It was 5:50 PM. He pushed the SIM card into the phone and then powered it up.

A notification appeared from Annabelle.

Just leaving. See you at 6 xoxo

He typed a reply.

Let me know when u r here.

He smoked his cigarette and rubbed his groin - making his penis go hard. He watched all four corners of the intersection, watching like a predator in ambush waiting for its prey. And then he saw her. She stood on the corner wearing a short skirt and tank-top with stiletto shoes. She had a handbag slung over her shoulder - and was holding a phone that she was typing into. A message flashed up from Annabelle.

Here

He started the car, and flicked his cigarette from the window. He pulled up where Annabelle was standing - and he called out to her through the passenger side window. She leaned down and smiled at him, and then opened the door and climbed in the car.

‘Hey baby’ - she said, flashing him a brilliant smile - ‘So where are we going?’

He pulled the car away and joined the traffic. He looked over at Annabelle and smiled at her. She was truly beautiful.

‘I thought we could head out of the city’ - he said, lighting another cigarette - ‘I have a place in the country.’

He looked down at Annabelle’s long legs and short skirt.

‘Sounds exciting!’ - She smiled.

He drove and smoked - and then leaned over to open the glove box and take out the bottle of vodka.

‘Fancy a little drink to get the party started?’

‘Sure’ - said Annabelle, taking the bottle from him and unscrewing the top.

She placed the bottle to her lips and took a big swig. Annabelle reached over and took the cigarette from his mouth and puffed it, and then put it back in his mouth. She took another large swig of the vodka - ‘So what do you want to do at your place in the country?’

He looked over at her and smiled - ‘It’s a surprise!’

She smiled back at him, and took a third swig of vodka. She screwed the cap back on and put the bottle back in the glove box. He continued driving and looked over at her. Her head was drooping forward and her eyes were closed. He pulled over and walked around to the passenger side of the car. He adjusted Annabelle’s seat so that she was reclined, and looked through her bag and found her phone. He removed the SIM card and snapped it. He did the same to his SIM card, and then put his phone and Annabelle’s phone in a brown burlap sack and smashed them with a hammer. He dropped the pieces down a drain and then put Annabelle’s handbag in a garbage can before climbing back in the car and heading off out of the city.

He arrived at the farm well after dark. He walked to the barn and unlocked the doors. He turned on the lights in the barn and then walked back to the car and carried Annabelle to the barn. He stripped her naked and put her clothes and shoes in a garbage bag. He lifted Annabelle’s naked body into the cage and placed her in the chair, and then fastened the straps and restrained her. He locked the cage behind him and looked at his unconscious prisoner sitting naked in the chair. This is too easy, he thought to himself. He turned the barn lights off and then locked the doors. He burned Annabelle’s clothing and shoes and then went to the farmhouse.
