Dead Cold Flesh

…
40-year-old Melanie Hitter and her 37-year-old husband Theodore took off from Lake Wales and their goal was to get back to Tampa.
Their children 13-year-old Audrey and 8-year-old Benjamin had a blast visiting their grandparents and both hated to say goodbye.
It was 9:30 PM when they finally got on the road. The road to Tampa from Lake Wales would be an hour, possibly an hour and a half.
On the road Audrey played I Love the Dead by Alice Cooper on her IPAD. Benjamin was heavily focused on his big sister's IPAD as well.
As they continued their trip, they saw lots of trees and not many facilities.
After 25 minutes Melanie lost control of the car and suddenly, she had to pull over.
"Shit the fucking car died" she yelled loud enough and then the kids both yelled at the same time.
It was enough to piss off Theodore who yelled "children shut up!"
After completely stopping the car Melanie gets her IPHONE out only to find it doesn't work.
"Goddamn it my phone isn't working!"
Her husband asked, "did you click the 'I'm not driving' bar?"
Melanie looked at her husband and exhaled like he was the biggest idiot on the planet.
After that she said, "I'm going to step out of the car."
When Melanie got out of the car she immediately used her phone flashlight to look around. There were nothing but trees on both sides of the highway. It definitely appeared to her that she was stuck in the wilderness.
As soon as someone put a hand on her shoulder and she screamed and spun around to see her husband yell "it's just me honey."
"God fucking damn it Theodore you gave me a fucking heart attack!"
Theodore shouted back "shit I didn't mean to."
"Why the fuck would you sneak up on me like that in the pitch black fucking wilderness?"
"I don't know I just did" replied Theodore who now felt like the world's biggest idiot.
A minute later they both noticed lights flashing from the trees and wilderness.
Theodore got excited and pointed them out to his wife. While they were focusing on the lights their kids Audrey and Benjamin got out of the car.
They both walked up behind their parents and Audrey said "mom" causing Melanie to turn around fast and scream "Goddamn it Audrey you scared the shit out of me!"
Theodore snapped "why did you kids get out of the car?"
Benjamin snapped back "because we got bored sitting in the fucking car!"
Theodore snapped back "language" and right after that a man walked from a short distance away said "excuse me" and Melanie freaked out again.
The man said "I'm sorry to bother you but I see you all are having car trouble."
Melanie answered "yes and if you know where there's motel nearby that would be a big help. Our phones died so we can't call a tow truck and I'm at my wits end."
The man identified himself as Andrew Gary Walter and told them for just $60 he'd rent out a boarding room for two days until they could get back on their feet.
Melanie said "really" surprised and excited.
He led them toward the lights and into the trees. After they gave Andrew $60 in cash he showed them to a private room off to the side which had two bathrooms and two bedrooms. The family was thrilled, well at least three out of four of them.
When Audrey settled down in the big room they rented she said "that man gives me the creeps."
Melanie snapped "it's just for one Goddamn night and we'll get a tow truck in the morning."
"That still doesn't make me feel better" was Audrey's response and Melanie yelled "not another word."
In the meantime Andrew Gary Walter was looking over his weapons as well as coming up with a plan to dispose of a family of four.
He drank his soda and played the Cannibal Corpse Kill or Become Official Video on his iPhone.
It wasn't long before Melanie and Theodore fell asleep. Both of their kids tried to get to sleep.
At midnight Audrey went outside quietly. 15 minutes later her nosey little brother Benjamin went out and asked what she was doing.
She turned and said "I can't sleep. I wanted this vacation to last forever."
Suddenly a man in a mask charged after the two kids and was able to chloroform them both and drag them away.
When Benjamin woke up he discovered he was chained to a wall. The man who kidnapped him and his sister was none other than Andrew Gary Walter.
Benjamin yelled "Andrew Gary Walter" and the psycho yelled back "yes Benjamin Hitter it's me. Here's your sister's severed head!"
Benjamin screamed and started crying and Andrew just laughed.
As Benjamin cried Andrew yelled "shut up your parents won't hear you in my torture chamber."
Andrew began stabbing Benjamin over and over causing blood to splatter everywhere. It didn't take long before Benjamin died. Andrew cut out Benjamin's liver, intestines, and then cut open the left side of his chest to remove his heart.
At 3AM Melanie woke up. After she went to the bathroom and washed up, she came out. She went into the other bedroom to check on her kids.
She was horrified when she saw two beds unoccupied with the covers pulled outward.
She yelled "Benjamin, Audrey" loud enough to wake up Theodore.
"Whoa now what's going on?"
Melanie answered, "the children are missing."
Theodore got up and yelled back "what do you mean they're missing?"
"I mean they're not in their Goddamn beds so where are they?"
Theodore went into the other bedroom and when he saw the beds with the covers pulled out he yelled "what the fuck! It's three o'clock in the morning why aren't they in bed?"
Melanie yelled "if they're outside on their electronics they are in big trouble."
Melanie ran out the door and as Theodore followed behind her she shut the door causing him to bump into it.
"Ow Goddamn it" he yelled and Melanie turned around and opened the door from the outside.
Melanie exhaled and looked at her husband like he was the biggest idiot on the planet.
Theodore snapped at her "Goddamn it you shut the door on me."
Out of nowhere Andrew yelled "what's all the noise out here?"
Melanie yelled "Andrew we can't find our kids."
Theodore asked Andrew if he could call the police and Andrew pulled out a gun and shot him in the forehead.
Melanie screamed out loud and Andrew ran up to her and used chloroform to knock her out. Andrew moved Theodore's body across the street and put the dead man into the broken-down family car.
When Melanie woke up in the torture chamber she said "where am I?"
Andrew told her she was in his torture chamber.
Melissa yelled "you son of a bitch you fucking killed my husband."
Andrew smiled and told her "Oh don't be so angry and mean. Have a heart."
Andrew holds up Benjamin's heart.
"It's Benjamin's heart. I killed your fucking children."
Melanie was horrified and puked all over the place.
Andrew yelled "you fucking bitch! Look at the mess you made."
Melanie yelled "fuck you asshole."
Andrew pulled out his pistol and shot Melanie in her forehead killing her instantly.
Andrew disposed of the family's car in a ditch with only Theodore's body inside it. He dismembered and dissected the bodies of his wife and two children.
THE END
