----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Victoria Smith was from a noble family in England. She learned how to speak fluent French from a young age and had a privileged childhood. Her parents tried introducing her to different men so she could be married off by the time she was 16. Victoria had no interest in any of the men. The only person she wanted to spend her time with was her maid, Julianna. By the time Victoria turned 16, she was married off to her parent’s family friend, Charles (he was 30 at the time). Victoria moved in with Charles right after she got married. Julianna went with them since she was Victoria’s personal maid. Victoria and Charles’s relationship was non-existent. Charles and his friends used Victoria as an object. They never asked her how she felt, they just did it. Victoria still found joy with Julianna in secret. They had an affair for around 10 years. When they got caught, everything changed. Charles stormed into Victoria’s room and caught them in the act. Enraged, Charles snatched Julianna by the arm and dragged her out of the room, separating them. That was the last time Victoria saw her. A week later, Victoria overhears a conversation between Charles and his friends. What she heard, frightened her. Julianna was taken to a remote location, tortured in the most barbaric ways (mutilation), and murdered. Devastated, Victoria came up with a plan to seek revenge on Charles. The first thing Victoria needed to do was to regain his trust. She acted nicer and spent more time with him. Months passed and Victoria started to regain Charles’s trust. During those few months, Charles started to let Victoria go out of the house to run errands. She went to the nearby pharmacy and bought a strong concentration of sleeping medication. That night before Victoria and Charles were having dinner, Victoria snuck into the kitchen and poured the whole bottle of sleeping medication into his wine. Victoria feared that Charles would be able to taste the medication. When dinner came around, it was normal. Charles drank his wine and eventually fell into a deep sleep. At midnight, Victoria dragged Charles to the cellar and waited for him to wake up. When Charles woke up, she tortured and killed him the way Julianna was. Blinded by hatred, sadness, and rage, Victoria burned Charles’s body, sprinted out of the cellar, and up to the balcony. She jumped off and into the river.

Emily Su never knew her parents. Her mom was a prostitute and her dad was one of her frequent customers. Emily’s dad left right around the time her mom was pregnant and Emily’s mom died due to childbirth. She grew up in a brothel and was taken care of by the prostitutes working there. At around age 18, Emily started working in the brothel as a prostitute. She became popular among the customers. The customers described Emily as smooth, beautiful, and “an exotic specimen”. Emily didn’t enjoy her job. Her customers were older men that would offer her a lot of money. She felt disgusted when they touched her all over. Emily hated how the customers felt entitled to do what they wanted because they had money to pay her. By the time Emily was 20, she wanted to take on a different career. Emily had a hatred towards the men who visited her and the brothel. What if she just got rid of them all? For the next few weeks, Emily went to her coworkers and gathered information about the men that visit the brothel the most. Then it was time for Emily’s plan to unfold. Emily went to her room and got ready for her first customer of the night. She had hidden her knife under the mattress of the bed. An old man dressed in a suit and a top hat walked in. It was time to begin. Around 10 minutes later the man started to get dressed. When he was about to walk out the door, Emily covered his mouth and slit his throat. When his body collapsed, Emily started to smile and laugh. There was this wonderful feeling in her veins. The thrill of killing these customers made her excited. Seeing the blood of her first victim made her look forward to killing more customers. For the next four years, she kept killing most of the customers. After each kill, she would take the money out of their clothes. The brothel had a secret basement where the victims’ bodies were stored. Over time, Emily would change her killing methods depending on the customer and how much trouble they have caused other workers. The more trouble the man caused, the more brutal murder he would have. Eventually, Emily’s killing came to an end. The local police stormed into the brothel after customers filed complaints about the smell. That was Emily’s mistake: she wasn’t good at cleaning up after her messes. The police arrested Emily and anyone who was involved in the coverup. Emily was shocked and angry. She thought that she could continue killing for a few more years and eventually flee when she acquired enough money. A few months after her arrest, Emily was sentenced to death by hanging.

----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
There is a room that is dimly lit with three melting candles on an antique dresser that’s falling apart. In the center of the room is a green couch. The couch has holes along the bottom of the cushions. Samantha, Victoria, and Emily walk into the room.Emily: (groans) We have literally walked around this place for hours and hours! How can we just end up where we started?! This is actual bullshit!Victoria: We haven’t been walking around for that long, it only felt like ten minutes. Either way, I don’t think there’s any way out of here.Samantha: (panicked) What do you mean there’s no way out? Are we going to be stuck here forever?!Victoria: Calm down. We’re fine. We’re still in one piece and breathing.Samantha: I’m so tired. I just want to sleep and forget about this mess that we’re in.Emily: None of us deserve to be here in the first place! I don’t understand why I have to suffer like this.Samantha and Victoria turn towards Emily visibly annoyed. The two of them give her the death stare.Emily: Why are you guys looking at me like that? Did you shit your pants or something?Victoria: Are you seriously that self-absorbed? The three of us are all suffering, especially Samantha and me. We have endured listening to you blabber on about nothing for the past…I don’t know how long!Emily: Well sorry! I don’t understand how you two are literally functioning!Samantha: Says who? Who says that we were functioning? I am on the verge of having a mental breakdown. In fact, I am already having one (starts to cry loudly)!Victoria: Listen, I know we are all tired—Emily: Yeah! No fucking shit Sherlock!Victoria: I’m not finished bitch! Anyways, I know we are all tired. We should just get some rest and try again later.Emily: How are you so calm? Are you just this unbothered all the time?!Victoria: I am bothered. The difference between you and me is I don’t complain. Complaining won’t get us anywhere and it won’t change the situation we’re in.Samantha: (sniffling) We really are in hell, aren’t we?!Victoria: Yeah. You can definitely say that.Samantha starts to cry louder. Emily rolls her eyes.Emily: Stop fucking crying! You’re not a baby!Samantha suddenly stops crying and sits up. Her lips quiver and she sighs. Victoria sits down and comforts her.Victoria: Are you okay?Samantha turns her head and sighs.Samantha: No.Emily: Well, what’s wrong with you? Since we’re all here together now’s the time to speak up.Emily sits down on the floor with Emily and Victoria. The three of them are sitting in a circle.Samantha: Well, you see, I was married—Emily: You were married? Wait…how old are you, kid?Victoria elbows Emily in the side.Emily: OW! What the fuck was that for?!Victoria: Let her speak.Samantha: I grew up in a small village. There weren’t very many people so everyone knew each other. There was a guy you see. His name was Andrew. Andrew was 17 at the time and I was 15. We didn’t talk much. I was way out of his league anyway. When I was at the store he was there too. We started talking and things were great.Emily: (yawns loudly) Can you just get to the point, please?! I’m—Samantha: Would you please just shut up?Emily closes her mouth and sits up straight.Samantha: When I turned 17, we got married. That was the happiest I’ve ever been. There was a tiny cottage outside the village that we lived in. It wasn’t much, but that didn’t matter. We had each other. But things started to change. Once I was 18, Andrew wanted to have a child. I was not ready but I gave in. I thought that was what I had to do since I loved him. Sure enough I got pregnant. (Pauses and sighs). Andrew started to become distant after that.Victoria: Wow! What a douche!Samantha: It seemed like he was disgusted by my pregnant body. I wasn’t as skinny as I was before. I saw him home less and less. Just…Everything got worse from there.Emily: Like how worse?Samantha: When I was taking a bath, I got out of the tub, but I slipped. The fetus inside me didn’t survive.Victoria grabs Samantha’s hand and squeezes it towards her.Victoria: I am so sorry that this happened to you.Samantha smiled weakly with tears in her eyes.Samantha: When Andrew found out about my miscarriage he was furious. He slapped me so coldly. The slap was powerful enough to push me over. After that, things started to calm down. Andrew still wasn’t home that often, which made me suspicious.Emily: How did that not make you suspicious? I’d say Anthony or whatever the fuck his name was, was having an affair.Samantha: That’s exactly what happened. I found a note on the kitchen counter. There was no message, only an address. Next time when Andrew left I followed him. The place he headed to was in the forest close to our cottage. It was a dinky shed. Sure enough, that bastard was with another woman. This infuriated me so much.Victoria: Well, yeah! I can see why!Samantha: I followed him for a week and he was still all over that same woman. The last time he left followed him again, but this time I brought his gun with me.Emily whispers to Victoria.Emily: Shit’s about to go down.Samantha: I stormed into the shed. Once Andrew saw me, he knew he was going to pay. The instant regret on his face showed it all. I took the gun and fired two shots, one in each of their heads. There was one bullet left, so I used that on myself. That’s all I remember.Victoria: Wow! That’s a lot to take in and a lot to process.Emily: Damn girl. I was expecting you to be a shy little kid. But you’re such a bad bitch!Samantha: Thanks…I guess?Emily: What? That was a compliment.Samantha: Now who’s going to share next?Victoria: What do you mean?Samantha: Look, I just shared my story and now I want to know about you guys. What did you guys do to get down in this shithole?Emily: Well, since we are talking about men, I should share my story with you guys.Victoria: Well go on then.Emily: Okay so, I have no idea who my parents are. According to the owner of the brothel, my mom had a frequent customer who left her pregnant. My mom died when she gave birth to me. I was raised by the other workers in the brothel.Samantha: Wow, I was not expecting that.Emily: everything was fine until I turned 18. I was destined to be a prostitute like my mother from the day that I was born. I hated it. The stupid men who were touching me all over. I was an “exotic specimen” to them. You know, the customers thought they could do what they wanted with us since they were older, richer, and wiser.Victoria: Fuck them!Emily: Yes! Fuck them! That’s exactly how I felt. I hated them so much, so why not kill them all?Samantha: You killed all of your customers?!Emily: I wish I did! I didn’t get the chance to. But that part is for later. So, I asked my coworkers around about our most frequent customers. I wanted to make sure everything was in place. I had the knife that I hid under my mattress and my sexiest outfit on. The first guy walked in. He was an older man with a black suit and a top hat.Victoria: Was he hot?Emily: No, he was kind of ugly.Victoria: That’s unfortunate.Emily: He only lasted around 10 minutes. What a weakling. As he was getting dressed I grabbed my knife quietly. I threw myself on him, covered his mouth, and slit his throat.Samantha: Yikes! How much blood?Emily: So much! It was like a whole puddle. At the time I was shocked. I didn’t know I was capable of killing someone.Victoria: Did you feel any different afterward?Emily: Of course I did! The thrill of killing men excited me the most. After I killed that son of a bitch, I started to smile and laugh. I have never felt so free!Emily starts to cackle and snort loudly. Samantha and Victoria look at each other uncomfortably.Emily: I kept killing and killing for the next 4 years. I even switched up my killing style.Samantha: Switched up your killing style? Isn’t slitting someone’s throat good enough?Victoria: (mutters) Clearly not.Emily: Sometimes I would go as far as cutting some things off.Samantha proceeds to gag and then throw up.Victoria: You are the sickest woman I have ever met.Emily: I know! Isn’t it wonderful?Victoria: Umm…Yeah…Sure, whatever.Emily: After killing each victim I would take their money. These men always had a lot in their pockets.Samantha recovers after throwing up and sits up.Samantha: Wait, how could you kill that many people? Where did you put the bodies?Emily: There was a basement in the brothel that most people didn’t know about. That’s where I stored the bodies. I wasn’t that good at cleaning up my messes though. The police came in after complaints about the smell. They were able to track me down and the others who were involved in the coverup. I was arrested and sentenced to death by hanging.Victoria: Well no wonder why you got caught! You’re very reckless.Emily: I know. That was my bad. Now, you tell us Victoria. What did you do?Victoria starts to freeze up. She sighs.Emily: What’s the long face for? We need to hear your story. I mean, if we’re stuck down here forever, we might as well take the effort to know each other.Victoria: Well, all right. However, this story isn’t lighthearted.Emily: Well our stories weren’t lighthearted. We sure aren’t expecting yours to be either.Victoria: I grew up in a noble family.Emily: I think that part is obvious seeing how you talk and present yourself.Samantha: Please continue Victoria.Victoria: My parents wanted me to be married by the time I was 16 so they started introducing me to different men.Emily: Damn! Just why?Samantha: Shut up Emily!Victoria: (raises her voice) As I was saying, by the time I was 16 so they started introducing me to different men. I just simply had no interest in any of them. My interests lay elsewhere. Julianna was her name. She was my personal maid you see. We spent a lot of time together. When I turned 16 my parents introduced me to their friend Charles. He was 30 at the time.Samantha and Emily make disgusted faces.Emily: Gross! That’s pedophilia!Victoria: Indeed. I got married shortly after and moved in with him. The only thing that helped me keep my sanity was Julianna. Since she was my personal maid, she traveled with me everywhere.Samantha: Did you guys continue to see each other?Victoria: Of course we did. Luckily I had my own room so we could spend all night together.Emily: So like, did you and Charles have a bond together or what?Victoria: No. Charles and his friends would talk to me, and use me when they felt like it. It was as if I was an object rather than a human.Emily: These entitled men think they could do what they want to our bodies! Unacceptable!Victoria: I still had Julianna though. Our secret affair went on for 10 years. We were inseparable. She was the one and only person I would die for. Everything was great until Charles found out.Samantha: What happened afterward?Victoria: Charles caught us in the act.Emily: Oh my!Victoria: Charles was so angry. He grabbed Julianna by the arm and dragged her out of my room. I never saw her again. A week later, I overheard a conversation between Charles and his friends. After when Charles took Julianna away, he and his friends took her to a remote location where they tortured her by mutilation.Victoria sighs deeply. Her breath starts to shake.Victoria: (shuddering) After torturing her, they killed her.There’s a long moment of silence. Samantha and Emily look at each other uncomfortably and then look at Victoria.Samantha: That must have been difficult for you to process. It’s amazing how you’re not breaking down at the moment.Victoria: I put together a plan to seek my revenge. I started to spend more time with Charles and be less distant from him. I regained the fool’s trust within a few months. Charles started to let me run errands by myself. There was a pharmacy close by. I picked up some sleeping drought along with some other things. That night before dinner, I went into the kitchen and poured around half the bottle into Charles’s wine. I made sure the cooks left beforehand.Emily: I’m assuming the sleeping medication worked.Victoria: It worked exceptionally well. Charles was knocked out. I waited for the rest of the staff to leave. By midnight, all the staff left and it was just Charles and me. I dragged his body down to the cellar and tied him to a chair. When he woke up, the long night of torture began.Samantha: Oh my God! Both of you are sick in the head!Victoria: I wanted Charles to suffer. I wanted to torture him the exact way he tortured and killed Julianna. He deserved to feel pain. I enjoyed hearing his screams and the pain in his voice. His begging for mercy was the best part. I started to laugh. Cutting it off was the best part!Samantha starts to throw up again. Emily bursts out laughing.Emily: (laughing) Oh my God! I would pay to see his face! What a pathetic little man (continues laughing).Victoria: I was having fun, but things eventually come to an end. I was so blinded by hatred even after killing Charles. I lit the cellular on fire to erase most of the evidence. Then I ran up the stairs to the balcony and jumped. I landed in the river and closed my eyes. I was at peace.Tears start to flow down Victoria’s face.Samantha: You’re a very brave woman Victoria. I admire you for that. You didn’t deserve this. None of us deserved the life we had.Emily: We still are getting punished for our sins though. I mean, we did what we had to do. Well, what I did was unnecessary but no one else would help us so we had to help ourselves.Samantha: Yeah. But we are still stuck in here…This hell.Victoria: Since we are here…I guess forever, we should make the most of it. We will be stuck with each other for all of eternity.Emily: A group of three badass women is a force. We will be able to get through anything in hell.Samantha: I’m very grateful to be in hell with two other people rather than myself. I don’t know what I would do.Emily: Me neither.The three of them start laughing. The candles blackout and the curtain closes.The End
