HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD #9 - THE RETURN OF JIGSAW
Francine A. Sparagus thought she was a woman who was just figuring out her life. She lived day by day unemployed and just partying. The people around her judged her for neglecting her children to go to the club and hang out with friends. She's always titillating and is focused more on sex than taking care of her kids. I've decided that she needs to be put to the test and punished for her actions. I've captured her and will set her up a trial to see if she is able to reconsider her ways and take care of her children. This trap is called "THE CUTTING BOARD". Francine has 10 minutes to decide out loud if she would rather lose her legs and eyes, or one of her children. The loss of her eyes may be deadly or they may not me. It's the risk she will have to take to no longer be sexually desirable in order for her children to survive. Her asparagus children are kept in a separate room and she will have the option to kill one of them to protect herself.
The tape recorder is dangling above her as she wakes up from slumber:
"Hello Francine, I have abducted you because of actions you have made. You live your life selfishly and oblivious to the people around you. A sacrifice must be made for you AND your children to make it out of here alive. I've set up various knives on chains and gears that over the next ten minutes will slowly cut off your legs and gouge out your eyes. The injuries may be fatal, but the alternative to this is to choose to end the life of one of your children. They are captured and kept in a separate room and if you fail to make a decision you will all die. Kill or potentially be killed... that is the question. Your 10 minutes start now."
Francine panics and pulls on the chains with her teeth. It sure would be useful if asparagus had arms... The chains don't budge and the knives are blatantly moving. Francine yells out "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME" as a television turns on in front of her, displaying her two children tied up in a dirty bathroom.
A minute goes by and Francine's left leg is cut into. Her blood starts to gush out, but her makeup is still perfect! She takes into consideration how her life would change without legs... "How would I ever have sex again??" she exclaims. As the clock goes down the beeping gets louder. She thinks to herself how there has to be an alternative. She looks around and frantically shakes, but it only makes things worse. She yells out "KILL BRIAN" immediately to avoid fully losing her leg.
A gunshot can be heard in the distance and she feels no remorse. She actually thinks that people will think she's a victim and is happy to get the attention afterwards! After a few seconds, the gears continue to turn. "What the fuck??" she yells out. Francine realized she was lied to. The children are connected to only one of the gears each! She gets to keep her legs but the knife is coming towards her eyes.
Brian was her less favorite child but Penelope cannot die. She takes her with her to the club sometimes to distract people as she steals money from their wallets. Her business would be over and she would have a hard time finding a job... The leg shackles are released so she gets some wiggle room. She stands up and swings around to get out but the knife makes contact to her eyeball. She screams loudly but perseveres. Then, she realizes that any deeper and she might not make it. She screams out "KILL PENELOPE!" And a loud gunshot occurs. The trap stops and she's released.
Francine thinks to herself "This is actually better because there are no witnesses to see my choice." She is happy to make it out and potentially make it on the news. She's gonna be famous! She gets dizzy while walking and passes out in the hallway. When she wakes up there's a light to the outside. She walks to the door and opens it only to reveal a room with a large tv showing her whole trap was being live streamed on Live Leak...
She passes out from fear knowing everyone knows how much of an awful person she is. She wakes up again and finds the exit. The police were able to trace the address of the live stream and show up right as she exits the building. Her ex-boyfriend is there as well and scolds her for not taking the sacrifice to save their children.
But Francine isn't upset when she sees the news fan pull up. She knows that bad publicity is still publicity and thinks she can still make it and become famous. It's all over! she survived! Or so she thought... the injuries were far too detrimental and her blood loss causes her to pass out for the third and final time. She dies live on television with her life legacy being how awful a person she was past, present, and to the afterlife.
She learned nothing and clearly didn't deserve to survive. Jigsaw strikes again and succeeds with his trap!
