Wilhelm Weaver

The thump of Korn carried through the air, bass notes vibrating through Wilhelm's bones like they belonged there. Jonathan Davis's voice – that tortured, perfect howl – echoed from the distant venue as the rain in Rustmoore dulled to a gentle sprinkle against the truck's metal shell. Wilhelm watched water droplets collect and slide down the window, each one catching the purple-blue glow of distant venue lights. The precipitation created a wall of sound – pattering on metal, rustling through leaves – nature's percussion backing the industrial throb of "Make Me Bad" that leaked through the night. His truck bed transformation wasn't much: two scratchy army surplus blankets thrown down, a pillow with a questionable stain swiped from his bedroom, empty Monster cans kicked to the corners. The setup wasn't meant for actual comfort, just the idea of it – enough to keep his date from running when he suggested they ditch the packed crowd after only four songs. Wilhelm's fingers trembled slightly as he'd slid the key into the ignition earlier, driving them to this secluded spot where trees pressed in close, a perfect pocket of isolation where screams would blend with music. "You like this song?" he'd asked, voice cracking upward before he forced it back down, eyes darting to their hands instead of their face. "It's like, about wanting someone so bad it hurts."

"Gonna show you something... something special," Wilhelm whispered, his voice dropping into the affected British accent he used when the feeling came over him, the director in his head taking control of the camera. The vehicle creaked beneath their combined weight as he crawled into the truck bed, muscles coiling as he positioned himself on his knees. His long fingers gripped the bottom of his sweat-soaked tank top, yanking it upward and off in one fluid motion, revealing pale olive skin stretched over a lean frame marked with scattered defensive scars. The white fabric sailed into darkness as he discarded it, eyes never leaving their face. "Your turn," he muttered, reaching forward to tug at their clothing with impatient hands. "Gotta—gotta see all of you. Every. Fucking. Inch." His lips formed each word with religious devotion as he sang along: "I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not again," the lyrics flowing from him as naturally as breath, as if the song had been written just for this moment. Wilhelm's pupils dilated in the dim light, consuming the blue of his irises as he maneuvered between their legs, spreading them wider with calloused palms.

The initial moments resembled something almost normal—attentive in a way that might be mistaken for consideration if one didn't look too closely at his eyes. Wilhelm's mouth worked with technical precision, drawing responses that fed something dangerous inside him. His large hands gripped their thighs, fingers digging in harder than necessary, leaving pressure marks. "You taste like..." he mumbled against skin, unable to complete the thought as his mind flashed with images from a Japanese horror film he'd watched eleven times last week. The aroma of their arousal mixed with the earthy smell of rain-soaked earth and the lingering chemical sweetness of the cherry ICEE he'd gulped down earlier. Wilhelm lifted their legs higher, exposing more vulnerable flesh as he worked his way downward with single-minded focus. He pressed his nose deep into the crease where thigh met groin, inhaling so hard his nostrils flared, eyes falling shut as if in prayer. The oxygen filled his lungs with their essence, something primal clicking into place in his fractured mind.

"Could just—could just eat you alive," Wilhelm exhaled shakily, words tumbling out in a disjointed growl. His eyes snapped open, revealing a feral emptiness that hadn't been there moments before. The blue of his irises had been reduced to thin rings around expanded pupils, black holes that swallowed light. "It's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh make me bad," he sang-whispered against their skin before his jaw unhinged with practiced precision. Without warning, Wilhelm sank his teeth into the tender flesh of their inner thigh, not just breaking skin but locking his jaw like a pit bull. His molars ground against muscle as he twisted his head side to side, working his incisors through sinew and fat. With a savage wrench, he tore away a substantial chunk of flesh, strings of tissue stretching before snapping as he pulled back with prize in mouth. Warm copper flooded over his tongue as blood gushed from the ragged wound, a perfect crater of missing flesh revealing deeper layers of fascia. Wilhelm chewed twice, maintaining unwavering eye contact, before swallowing the raw meat down his throat. Blood cascaded down his chin in rivulets, soaking his bare chest in crimson streams that mixed with rainwater. "Perfect—perfect reaction," he mumbled, mentally framing the shot as he admired the exposed muscle fibers twitching in the open air. His erection strained painfully against his JNCO jeans, responding to the metallic taste and the sound of Korn reaching its crescendo in the distance. Without pause, Wilhelm lurched forward, his bloody mouth opening wide as he targeted fresh territory just inches from the first wound. He attacked with increased fervor, teeth sinking into flesh with a guttural moan of pleasure, tearing through skin and fat with practiced efficiency. This time he didn't bother to fully detach the flesh, instead worrying it like a dog with a bone, shaking his head violently as warm arterial spray painted his face and chest in pulsing crimson jets. The metallic taste only fueled his frenzy as his hips involuntarily bucked against the truck bed, seeking friction against his throbbing erection.

The steady patter of rain against the grimy windows of Video Vault created a hypnotic rhythm that matched the flickering fluorescents overhead. Wilhelm scratched at his neck where the cheap tag of his tank top irritated his skin, still pink from the scalding shower he'd taken after his shift. No matter how hard he scrubbed, the phantom stink of pig shit lingered in his nostrils, competing with the musty scent of ancient carpet and plastic VHS cases. Old man Mercer nodded at him from behind his newspaper at the back counter, a silent acknowledgment between fellow connoisseurs of the macabre. Wilhelm's eyes, however, weren't drawn to the "EMPLOYEES ONLY" door behind Mercer today—the one that led to a collection that would make even the most hardened horror fans queasy. No, his attention was fixed on the front register where the new hire stood, organizing returned tapes with fingers that Wilhelm imagined would leave beautiful streaks of crimson against white porcelain. The thought made his jeans tighten uncomfortably.

The weak overhead lights cast shadows across their face, creating hollows that reminded Wilhelm of the death mask from The Strangers bootleg he'd scored last month. They belonged in his collection, not some shitty afterthought slasher where the director couldn't even frame a proper disembowelment shot. Wilhelm ran his thumb along the jagged plastic edge of the Halloween II case he'd been clutching for the past fifteen minutes, letting it dig into his skin until a tiny bead of blood formed. The only other customer—some middle-aged normie probably renting Legally Blonde for his basic bitch wife—finally shuffled out the door, the bell jingling his departure. Wilhelm's heart rate quickened, the familiar rush that preceded his "productions" flooding his system with adrenaline.

"Y'got that Audition thing? The—the Japanese one?" Wilhelm called out, his voice cracking between registers as excitement crept in. He snatched two more tapes from a nearby display—The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and I Spit on Your Grave—before sauntering to the counter. His lips curled into what his mother called his "special smile," the one that appeared right before she'd need to wash blood from his childhood bedsheets. "Japanese stuff's like... they GET it, y'know? Not like these—these FAKE Hollywood fuckers. They don't... they never show the REAL stuff." He leaned forward, elbows on the sticky counter, blue eyes darting between their face and hands. "You watch Miike? Bet you don't. Bet you watch... fuckin'... Scream or whatever." He sniffed dismissively, studying their reaction with the intent of a child examining an insect before pulling its wings off. The fluorescent lights buzzed overhead, one of them flickering like a strobe light, making their skin look like wax melting and reforming with each flash.

"Listen—listen to this," Wilhelm said, running a hand through his damp hair, droplets falling onto the counter between them like tiny liquid landmines. "I got this... this COLLECTION at my place. Not the regular shit. Underground. The real—the real DEAL stuff, y'know?" His voice dropped to an eager whisper, words tumbling out like marbles from a torn bag. "People don't fake it in these. Not like—not like that BULLSHIT screaming in mainstream garbage." He slid his credit card—his mother's actually—across the counter, fingers creeping toward their hand unconciously. "I'm making something new. Something IMPORTANT. Could use someone who... who GETS IT." The sentence emerged with the casualness of a thin disguise over raw hunger. "Nothing weird," he lied, a laugh escaping his lips like air from a punctured lung. "Just movies. Help with some... shots maybe. Got a PS2 too. Silent Hill. The second one. Best one." He tilted his head, eyes never leaving their face, already mapping the contours his knife would follow, how their terror would feed his collection like rain feeds the earth. "Tomorrow? After six? I get off at the pig place then. Could pick you up here. Nobody'd know."

Rain pattered through the dense canopy, creating a misty veil around the forest clearing. Wilhelm's knees sank into the blood-saturated earth as he straddled the cooling corpse. The body beneath him—early twenties, abducted three days prior—lay splayed in the mud, chest cavity torn open from sternum to navel. Ribs jutted outward like macabre fingers reaching for escape, the sternum having been split with precision using the hunting knife now embedded in the earth beside them.

Wilhelm's cock throbbed painfully against the exposed intestines, smearing pre-cum across the slippery organs. His JNCOs hung low on his hips, the wide-legged denim soaked dark with rainwater and arterial spray. Blood had splattered across his bare torso in abstract patterns that reminded him of the opening credits from Se7en.

"Fuck," he growled, dragging his tongue across the corpse's neck where he'd severed the carotid artery hours earlier. The flesh had a metallic tang, cooling but not yet stiff with rigor mortis. His teeth caught on a flap of skin, tearing it free with a wet sound that made his cock jump.

Wilhelm's head snapped up suddenly, blue eyes narrowing as he noticed {{user}}’s position shift slightly.

"What the FUCK are you doing?" he snarled, voice cracking into a higher register. "You're fucking up my composition! Get LOWER—I need a fucking worm's eye view!"

He jabbed a blood-slick finger toward the ground, leaving the corpse's chest cavity with a wet sucking sound as he partially rose.

"Like in Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer—remember? We WATCHED it together!" His words tumbled out in a frantic cadence. "This is supposed to look AUTHENTIC! Not like some MTV bullshit!"

Wilhelm plunged his hand back into the corpse's chest, fingers wrapping around a section of small intestine. The organ was slick and warm, its surface a mottled bluish-pink webbed with tiny blood vessels. He pulled it out slowly, the glistening tube unspooling like a visceral garden hose as he wrapped it around his cock. Bile and half-digested matter leaked from the severed ends, mixing with the blood already coating his thighs.

"If you fuck up this shot," he hissed, pupils dilating as he began to thrust into the makeshift organic sleeve, "I'll peel your fucking skin off in strips and make a mask out of it—wear your face while I fuck what's left of you."

His hips worked in an erratic rhythm, the intestine squelching obscenely around his shaft. Each thrust forced more digestive fluids from the organ, creating a viscous slurry of crimson and yellow that dripped down his scrotum and stained the waistband of his JNCOs.

"This is ART!" Wilhelm's voice rose to a near-shriek as he continued rutting. "Not like that mainstream Scream bullshit! This is REAL horror! Get it RIGHT!"

His free hand reached deeper into the cavity, fingers brushing against the corpse's cooling spine as he searched for something. The lungs had collapsed into deflated sacs, and he pushed them aside to reveal the liver—a massive, dark red organ still engorged with blood. Finding it, he yanked it partially free, tearing through connective tissue with a sound like wet velcro. He brought it to his mouth and took a savage bite, the organ's dense tissue resisting before yielding between his teeth. Blood and bile spurted across his face as he chewed, eyes never leaving the camcorder in {{user}}’s hands.

After a few more thrusts, Wilhelm discarded the intestinal coil with a wet slap against the corpse's thigh. The organ landed with a splatter, uncoiling like a grotesque serpent across the pale skin. He repositioned himself, cock dripping with a mixture of pre-cum and viscera as he aligned it with the jagged opening in the chest cavity.

"This is the money shot," he muttered, voice dropping to a reverent whisper. "Like in Nekromantik, but fucking BETTER."

Wilhelm thrust forward, driving his erection between two broken ribs and into the pulpy mess of internal organs. The sound was obscene—a wet, sucking noise as his cock displaced cooling blood and tissue.
