The Brutalizer

== WARNING: THIS STORY CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT. ==
The town of Midwater had always been a quiet place—small, nestled between mountains and forests, a place where the most exciting thing to happen was the annual Fall Harvest Festival. But that peace was shattered when the killings began. First, a couple, then a family. Each murder was more gruesome than the last, each body left in such a horrific state that even the most hardened detectives had trouble processing what they were seeing.
The media began calling the killer The Brutalizer—and for good reason. What The Backwards Man and The pumpkin king had done to their victims seemed like child's play in comparison. There was no art to The Brutalizer's work, no twisted sense of creativity. Only carnage. The Brutalizer didn’t just torture or kill—he obliterated. His victims weren’t just dead; they were completely, utterly destroyed, in both body and soul.
The First Victims: The Masons
The Brutalizer’s first known victims were a young couple, Jacob and Marie Mason. When the police arrived at the scene, what they found was beyond comprehension. Jacob's body was nailed to the wall by thick iron spikes, his limbs contorted in ways that suggested they had been broken repeatedly. His face had been peeled off, but his eyes had been left intact, wide open, frozen in an expression of absolute horror. The Brutalizer had kept him alive for hours, methodically breaking bones, peeling skin, and watching as Jacob screamed in agony.
Marie’s fate was far worse. She had been strapped to a chair, with barbed wire wrapped tightly around her neck and limbs, cutting deep into her flesh. The Brutalizer had inserted needles under her fingernails and into her gums, but she hadn’t died from this torture. No, the final blow came when The Brutalizer poured molten metal into her eyes, blinding her, before driving a spike through her chest. She was left to bleed out, the metal scarring her face into a grotesque mask.She's been kept alive for a day. 
The Brutalizer’s Signature: The Evisceration Ritual
What set The Brutalizer apart from other killers was his Evisceration Ritual. Every victim was disemboweled while still alive, but The Brutalizer didn’t just let them die quickly. He carefully pulled out the intestines and other organs, arranging them around the room in intricate patterns. The organs would be stretched across the walls, draped over furniture, and even hung from the ceiling like decorations. It was as if the entire room became a part of the victim—a grotesque, living monument to their suffering.
But The Brutalizer wasn’t content with simple physical destruction. He also broke his victims psychologically. Before the final act, he would force them to witness their own impending death. He often placed a mirror in front of them so they could see the full extent of the mutilation. The sight of their own skin flayed, their muscles exposed, and their body slowly disintegrating drove most victims insane before they even succumbed to the pain.
Escalation: The Gorefest.
The Brutalizer’s next attack was on the Joe's family. The Brutalizer broke into their home in the middle of the night, restraining each family member in different rooms, ensuring they could hear the others' screams but couldn’t do anything to stop it.
He started with the children.
The eldest daughter, Emily, was 4. He tied her to her bed, gagged her, and methodically removed each finger and toe with a bone saw, cauterizing the wounds to keep her from bleeding out. Her eyes darted wildly in terror, her muffled screams the only sound that escaped. Then he began to peel the skin from her arms and legs, layer by layer, all while keeping her conscious. He finally ended her suffering by splitting her skull open with a hammer, her brain matter splattering across the room like a macabre painting.
The younger children didn’t fare any better. The Brutalizer hung their small bodies from the ceiling by meat hooks, tearing into them as they dangled helplessly. He mutilated them beyond recognition, leaving only small traces of what once were children.
By the time he got to the parents, they were broken. He forced them to watch as he dragged their children's dismembered bodies into the living room, throwing the remains at their feet. Then, for the final insult, he made them kneel in their children’s blood before finishing them with a single blow, decapitating both in front of each other.
A Mind of Chaos
Unlike other killers who want to kill because there demons or monsters, The Brutalizer thrived on pure, chaotic destruction. There was no pattern to his victims. He chose them at random—families, couples, friends, strangers—it didn’t matter. His only goal was to cause as much pain and terror as possible. The meticulous way in which he carried out his killings suggested a sharp mind, but it was a mind entirely devoid of empathy or remorse.
The Brutalizer’s enjoyment wasn’t in the killing itself, but in the suffering that led to it. He loved to prolong the torment, dragging out the moment of death for hours, sometimes even days. Victims would be kept on the brink of death, their minds shattered, their bodies mutilated beyond recognition, before he finally allowed them the mercy of dying.
The Final Act: A Town’s Destruction
As the body count rose, the town of Midwater descended into madness. No one knew who The Brutalizer was, but his presence was felt everywhere. He didn’t just kill people—he destroyed lives, turning the once peaceful town into a living nightmare. People stopped trusting each other, barricading themselves in their homes, but it didn’t matter. The Brutalizer always found a way in.
His last known act was the Midwater Massacre. In a single night, The Brutalizer slaughtered over 20 people in various locations across the town. He severed limbs, removed organs, and left bodies dismembered in the streets like some twisted carnival of death. By the time the police arrived, the town was unrecognizable—Midwater had become a graveyard of horrors.
The Brutalizer disappeared after that, leaving behind only carnage and chaos. To this day, his identity remains unknown, his crimes etched into the nightmares of those who survived.
Legacy of Fear
The Backwards Man and The pumpkin king had left their scars on the world, but The Brutalizer had done something more. He hadn’t just killed his victims—he’d destroyed them, obliterating both their bodies and their minds. His brutality was unmatched, his ability to turn even the strongest person into a broken, quivering shell of their former self, unparalleled.
No one could ever forget the name The Brutalizer. He was worse than anyone could have ever imagined—because he didn’t just kill people.
He annihilated them.
