Short story one
The One That Got Away by: Denny Johnson
The short story "The One That Got Away", is about the serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. Jeffrey Dahmer was a serial killer who preyed on young adults and children. He would seduce them buy material possesions to get them in his house. He wasnt just your everyday killer either, he was a cannibal. after he would kill his victim he would eat them.
In "The One That Got Away", he tried to prey on Traci Edwards but he just wasnt going to take it. Dahmer asked Traci if he wanted to have a party at the lake. Who wouldnt pass that up. Traci and Dahmer went to go get beer when Dahmer said that he needed to change his clothes. When Dahmer and Traci go to his apartment they start drinking and next thing you know there is a handcuff on Traci's wrist and a machete in his armpit. Traci was in shock. After Traci is escorted into Dahmers Bedroom he looks down, and sees a human hand.
Traci is in shock. Dahmer explains to him that he is a killer and will kill him if he doesnt take nude photos of himself. Since Traci has had this handcuff on his arm, and the machete to his armpit all he has been looking for is a way out. he finally talks Dahmer into going to the living room to drink more and he thinks he sees Dahmer is drunk. So he asks to use the restroom and when he does he makes a break for the door. Dahmer follows and when they reach the door Traci turns around And hits him square in the jaw.
Traci goes running into the street to flag down an oncoming officer and shows him where he was taken. when the cops end up at dahmers door he tries to play it cool but the smell of bodies in a hot apartment isnt easy to cover. after the search the apartment Dahmer is history.
Traci Edwards is one strong person. he was able to fend off an attacker who had already killed eleven people. When this was recorded there was shear terror expressed in his words. Traci said Dahmer threatened him with ,"He said he wanted to hear my heart beat. He told me he wanted to see how my heart looked. Then he said that he wanted to eat it." this is one of the most disgusting and cruel things ive ever heard.
This story is one of the wierdest, crazy, disgusting things ever. This was the best way for this story to be told. Everything was right about this. Jeffrey Dahmer is really one of the sickest people alive!
