Religious Maniacs

Little Harry Sack was barely 5 years old when he found out by his parents that his heart was wicked  
His parents were religious fanatics, who read the good book each and every hour  
They isolated little Harry from the rest of the world  
His father worked on the farm producing milk & meat to sell in town  
His mother was a stay at home mom, strict and overbearing
Many of the locals didn't even know Harry Sack existed  
His parents taught him that in order to be faithful to the lord, you must do what we say or want  
Harry was given chores from morning till night  
If he didn't listen or handle the chores correctly, he was whipped  
The few moments that he had to himself, his parents would read him the bible  
The only toys Harry had was a clothespin and an old doll that use to look like a teddy bear  
He slept on an old cot that you wouldn't give to your worst enemy  
In the morning, Harry would eat any scraps his parents would leave him after their breakfast  
Afterwards, it was onto cleaning the house  
If his mother approved, then he would begin cleaning the cow & horse shit outside  
His parents lived like royalty  
Their icebox was filled with the best foods  
Their pantry had all these different canned foods and snacks  
Everything was locked up each night, so Harry had no access to anything  
 
One particular night when he was about 10, Harry discovered the key to unlock those cabinets  
When he did, a can of Creamed Corn fell out of the pantry and onto the floor  
As he tried to stop it, his other hand knocked over a glass jar full of sugar  
This woke the parents up  
Harry's father kept a shotgun near his bed just in case Satan decided to make a visit  
They entered the kitchen seeing Harry on the floor cleaning the mess  
Before he could say anything, Harry's father took the back end of the gun and clubbed Harry across the face  
Harry's mother kicked him twice and pulled him by the hair  
They brought him downstairs  
This basement was cold, dank and creepy  
They chained his leg to the furnace and said only a few words  
"You will stay down here until we and the lord decide to release you"  
"I want you to read the bible and understand what you did wrong"  
"Your father & I will decide when your good & ready to live back upstairs with us"  
The door was shut  
The only light that came through was from an old window  
 
As Harry got older he would sneak out of bed and place his ear to the door  
His father would talk to his mother about his day and what's happening in and around town  
He would mention names of people, stores and many other things that Harry had no idea or concept about  
By the age of 12, Harry's defiance grew to the point that he wanted out  
One night he thought he had the opportunity, as his parents were sound asleep  
His room was on the second floor  
In order to escape, he had to go down those old crickety steps  
The window in his room had no roof or attachment underneath for Harry to grab onto  
As he proceeded down the stairway, his father waited for him at the bottom  
Harry had no idea until he reached the final step  
There, his father pulled him by the hair  
As his father was about to punch little Harry  
Harry kicked his father with all his might into his ball sack  
He got him good  
His mother came out with a paddle board  
She almost hit Harry on the back of his head  
He ducked and Harry took the board from her hand and hit her twice in the face  
Blood and a few teeth spilled from her mouth  
Harry ran into the kitchen to get a carving knife  
As his father was slowly getting up on his feet,  
Harry took the knife and punctured his chest once  
Then the second puncture was into his abdomen  
He went down  
This time Harry began stabbing his face & neck repeatedly  
What was left of his head looked like fresh chop meat  
His mother began screaming in disbelief  
She started shouting at Harry saying, "YOU'RE THE DEVIL", YOU'LL BE CONDEMNED TO HELL FOR ALL ETERNITY", "I KNEW YOU'RE HEART WAS WICKED!!"  
Harry never said a word  
He inched closer to her and began slicing & hacking her to bits  
He cut one of her ears off  
Popped out one of her eyes  
He removed her nightgown and cut her left nipple off  
He wanted her alive  
He then went into the barn to fetch the gasoline container  
Harry grabbed all the bibles in the house  
Placed them on top of his parents chest and doused them & the bibles with gasoline  
His mother was trying to move but she couldn't  
Harry took the knife and her right hand (that she would always hit him with)  
and he wedged the knife through her hand into the floor  
She screamed in agony  
He took his father's lighter which was always left in the kitchen and lit them on fire  
He also lit the furniture and curtains as well  
He wanted his parents and home he lived in gone for good  
No more memories of a disastrous life he lived  
As dawn approached, he walked out  
Never to be seen or heard from again
