Episode 343: Teens Kill Transgender Classmate To See If “It” Will Scream Like A Girl Or Boy

---

15 year old Eddie comes home from his jog – changes out of his soiled clothes – and starts googling on his computer:

HOW TO COMBAT ANXIETY.

He’s waiting from a text message from the girl that he likes - but it’s not her.

It’s a former classmate of his – Scarlet. The message reads.

“My brother juts told me not to go to linear park because a woman got stabbed there.”

Eddie replies: “Jesus – really?”

She responds: “Yeah they say it’s murder…”

He lets the news sink in—someone was murdered at the very park that he had just been to… When the realization of that hit, Eddie would do two things.

One, he would hide the 5 inch knife in his room; it was covered in blood.

And two, he would never speak again.
