The Springwood Slasher

Chapter One: Prologue

It is 1941 and a few months before Pearl Harbor is attacked another disaster is about to begin unfolding.

The young nun's screams echoed throughout Westin Hills Insane Asylum.

"Stay with us Amanda." said the Priest.

"Push honey, you have to push. Almost done dear." said a nurse at the foot of the bed. Amanda Krueger took a deep breath and gave one final, tremendous push. The nurse held up a small, crying form.

"Oh, Amanda. It's a boy." said the nurse holding the baby, she walked to Amanda but the young nun shook her head.

"No." she said fiercly. The nurse looked as though she'd been slapped.

"But-" began the nurse.

"No! I won't have him!" shouted the nun. The priest went to her.

"Amanda, he's your child. God will not punish-" he began.

"No! Father you must understand."

"Understand what?"

"Father, it is evil."

"The way he was created was evil, but he is merely an innocent child."

"No, Father he is evil. I can feel it. He is not a child of God."

"Sister! Not only is that an awful thing to say it is nearly blasphemy!"

"Then God forgive me but I will not keep him."

"Sister-"

"No! Father I refuse!"

"I believe you are making a mistake but, I cannot force you to keep the child. We shall put him up for adoption. You must at least give him a name Amanda."

"Fine. Fred...Frederick."

"And a middle?"

"Charles. Frederick Charles."

"He will keep your surname."

"Father-"

"Enough. Your surname is his." the priest held Fred as the nurses took down the name.

"He has very beautiful, innocent, light green eyes Amanda."

"You are being fooled by Satan, Father. For those eyes hold only evil."

The priest didn't answer, he wrapped Frederick in a blanket and left the room. He wouldn't know until it was too late what he was holding. Frederick would, in years to come, be taunted, beaten, cast out, and molded into an evil none could foresee. At his death, the town would no longer know him as Frederick Charles Krueger, but as an evil called The Springwood Slasher...
