Serial Killers: A Short Story

684 Words3 Pages

Jolene wanted to die. Life in that hell hole was absolute torture. The room was windowless and had solid concrete walls. The air reeked of body odor, whiskey, cigarettes, and sex. The only furniture was a single dirty mattress in the middle of the room. It was stained a sickly yellow color. Jolene was chained to the wall, completely naked. The young girl had dark blue bruises on her breasts, hips, thighs, neck, and collarbone. She had deep yellow cuts on her back, stomach, and collarbone that had become infected. Time stood still in that awful room. Jolene had no idea how long she 'd been held captive. Maybe it was a month, or even a whole year. The young girl stared at the door in anticipation. Her heart skipped a beat when it opened. A large …show more content…

"Hey it 's okay. I 'm not gonna hurt you," he said, offering her his hand. She flinched and backed away again. "I 'm not gonna hurt you. We should get out of here before you freeze to death." She grabbed his hand hesitantly. Jolene had no reason to trust this man. He could be a serial killer or a rapist or even worse. She didnt have any other options however. She 'd die on her own. Jolene struggled to match the man 's pace. Her injuries were slowly catching up with her. The man led her into an alleyway. She leaned against the wall as he removed his jacket. "No no no, please! I can 't do it again, it hurts so bad!" She whimpered. "Hey hey, sweetheart it 's okay. I 'm not gonna rape you," he said in a hushed tone. He wrapped his jacket around her …show more content…

"Let 's get out of the cold. Are you okay with me picking you up? You really shouldn 't be walking with your injuries." The young girl stared at the man with wide eyes. Why was he being so nice to her? Every man she 'd ever known treated her like trash. What makes him any different? Why was he helping her? Nothing in the world is ever free. Surely he wanted something in exchange. Money? Sex? Why does he care? I have no other options, but if I refuse his offer, I 'll freeze to death. I guess I 'll go with

  • Isolation In The Yellow Wallpaper

    Her descriptions of the room, with the furniture seemingly being nailed to the floor and the windows being “barred” show an underlying understanding that her thoughts and personality is being confined. The irony present in this description, due to her belief that the room used to be a nursery, shows her early denial of her husband’s dominance over her. As the story progresses and she begins to see the woman behind the wallpaper, the reader is exposed to the narrator’s realization that she is the one that is actually being suppressed. The descriptions of the wallpaper, showing how confining it is for the symbolic woman behind it, shows how the narrator is being trapped by those bars in both her marriage and in her mental illness. Thus when she says, “At night in any kind of light… it becomes bars,” the reader is shown how restricted the narrator feels, reflected through the wallpaper.

    After Jane’s traumatizing experiences with being locked away, rather than being frightened for the rest of her life, she became angry at the discriminatory actions of her aunt: “No severe or prolonged bodily illness followed this incident of the red-room: it only gave my nerves a shock, of which I feel the reverberation to this day.” (Chapter 3). Jane’s time spent in the red-room symbolizes Jane overcoming her struggle to gain freedom and independence. Her experiences in the room show how she overcomes the initial fear of the dark and ghosts, just as she defeats the feeling of being deficient; becoming more independent and passionate about her decisions and feelings. Although there were never “severe or prolonged bodily illnesses”, Jane states that she was in fear for a good amount of time after the “incident”, which leave a long lasting impression on someone as passionate as

The narrator of the yellow wallpaper descends into madness to escape the cruel dominance of her society. As the story progresses the yellow wallpaper becomes a constant companion. She first dislikes the color and despises the pattern, but after closely studying the pattern “a strange, provoking, formless sort of figure that seems to skulk about behind that silly and conspicuous front design” and after obsessing over the painting she finds bars hidden.
