The Hour Of Death

Do you know a better place to relax than a forest cabin that has no neighbors far and wide? Such a place can offer its inhabitants complete peace from the busy civilization. Jason and Emily Rush built exactly such a cabin and spent every free moment in it with their three sons. It turned from a paradise into a horrible place in a single moment , when the youngest John discovered his brother David brutally murdered in a nearby barn . When he "discovered" the oldest Patrick in a pool of blood a year later, Jason and Emily realized that John was not in the barn by accident. But the mother's pleas for mercy directed at John, who was clutching the butcher's ax spasmodically, were the last message she managed to utter on this earth. At a difficult crossroads, Father Jason decided to cover for John and not report the whole thing. At least that's how John described it to his therapist at the correctional facility, where he ended up after, in addition to his family, residents of nearby settlements and random passers-by started disappearing in the forest. He was to spend the rest of his life in this facility due to a court-determined mental disorder. It took the police a whole month to piece together and identify the corpses of the therapist and the security guard. After seventeen years of a relatively quiet stay in the facility , John might have escaped undetected and nonviolently, but you know that, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. It probably won't surprise anyone that the first steps led to the family cottage, i.e. today only cottages inhabited by the old father.
