“A Taste of Your Own Medicine”

SOURCE: An original tale of karmic justice served cold from the bone crypts of twisted fate. [The Cryptkeeper’s raggedy voice scratches and crackles like a rusty sawblade cutting through dry bone.] “Well, boils and ghouls, tonight’s tale is a real gut-wrencher—a viscera-ly violent vengeance stew that’ll have you howling in terror! So grab your wicked utensils, because this is one recipe for justice that’s gonna leave a sour taste in your blood! I warn ya, it’s not for the faint of heart—or stomach. Let’s dig in!” * * * Jacob Dellinger was a man whose ego was as swollen as the bloated corpses he dissected in his underground lab. A twisted surgeon with a reputation for mercilessly experimenting on terminal patients without consent, he reveled in the power to play god—or rather, Satan’s butcher. His victims were left as writhing, screaming meat puppets, sliced open and sewn back in grotesque configurations, all while he took morbid pleasure in their agony. His latest victim, Mrs. Hargrove, was a frail old woman with no family, perfect for his sick experiments. But tonight, she wasn’t going to be the one suffering. Jacob feverishly prepared his scalpel, humming a devilish tune. As he raised the blade to begin his mutilations, a flicker of light burst from the shadows—an ethereal, ghastly figure: the Spirit of Karma, a skeletal specter dripping with chains and rusted surgical tools. “Your crimes don’t go unnoticed, Dr. Dellinger,” the spirit rasped, voice grinding like bone on bone. “Tonight, the scalpel cuts deeper than skin… it’ll slice through your soul.” Before Jacob could scream, the spectral claws plunged into his chest, shattering ribs like brittle twigs. Blood erupted in a crimson geyser, drenching the room in gore. He gasped as the spirit extracted a pulsating black heart—his own conscience, corrupted and rotting. Suddenly, Jacob’s muscles began to betray him, writhing and reforming at the spirit’s command. His limbs twisted into grotesque shapes—his fingers fused into jagged needles, his tongue shredded into serrated blades. Skin bubbled and sloughed off in ragged patches, revealing raw, glistening muscle and twitching nerve bundles. The agony was unending; every incision he once made was now inflicted upon himself—but multiplied a thousandfold. He was sewn into a living surgical tableau, a hideous parody of his monstrous experiments. And worse, his eyes remained wide open, forced to witness the massacre of his own flesh without relief. As the hours crawled by in endless torment, whispers of his patients’ screams echoed inside his skull. Mrs. Hargrove’s voice rang out clear and chilling: “You took my life… now take your own.” In a final, heart-shattering moment, Jacob’s mutated jaw split open like a mangled meat grinder, and the spirit thrust the scalpel straight through his eye socket. His screams sounded like wet tearing fabric, echoing into the abyss. When dawn crept in, the lab was silent except for the puddle of congealed blood pulsing faintly on the tiled floor. The spirit vanished—her work complete. * * * [The Cryptkeeper chuckles, a rasping, bone-scraping giggle.] “Well, kiddies, if you ever think about messin’ with folks who can’t fight back, remember Dr. Dellinger’s little slice of hell. Karma’s scalpel is sharper than any surgeon’s blade—and the stitches? Well, they never quite heal, if you catch my drift! So keep your hands clean, or you might just get a taste that’s… downright fatal-icious! I’ll see ya next time… if you’re still in one piece!” [The crypt door slams shut with a sickening thud as the laughter fades into the rattling bones of the night.]
