Timmy O’Stancles : Report on Mr. Halibutt
Based on A Dream : Saturday, May 21, 2011 4:45:30 PM
Considerably altered from The Seed of The Dream
Timmy is 12 years old and went to see Mr. Halibutt at The State Mental Institution.
Mr. Halibutt is now an old man, but when he was 28, he murdered two girls; Nancy Pliercheeks, 9 years old & Amanda Muciachact, 10 years old.
Mr. Halibutt :
Right after the girls disappeared, The police came around to interview everyone. When they came to see me, i was on the back patio washing the blood off the cement tiles where Nancy had landed face down. If they’d have come 15 minutes earlier, The blood would still be there, baking under the sun, having been there for 2 days. It seemed to me that the stench of rotting flesh was still in the air, and it was crazy that the two police officers would ask me at any moment what that odor was, but they didn’t. They asked the silliest questions; How often did i get out, Did i have any boots, Where was my motorcycle? All these questions had the most inane answers. Why didn’t they ask about Amanda’s shoes that were still laying there under the bench? Why didn’t they ask about Mrs. Yoisuv, who 2 days earlier screamed at me about all the noise i was making. She was standing only 5 or 6 feet from were i was fornicating with Nancy, dead then for more than 4 hours. All she had to do was look through the wooden slats to see what i was doing, but she only yelled at me with that shrill, chihuahua like voice of hers.
They proceeded with their feeble investigation, coming to visit me several more times, each time, it seemed to me, just as i was in the act of wrapping things up from the murders. Once; More than a week later, The girls were both in my bedroom, laying on my bed, tucked in as they were taking their afternoon nap. If the police had gone in to see them, they would see that their faces were covered with my semen, but instead they briefly mentioned that i needed to bury the dogs that were in my garden. The neighbors were complaining about the odor. They seemed unconcerned that i came to see them in the nude, or that I had an erection. I invited them in for ice cold cokes, as it was a very hot day, but they declined.
Eventually; They began to think that i had something to do with the murders, but it was oddly circumstantial. Amanda had turned up in the local dump, near some bills that i had thrown out. Nancy was still in my bathtub at that time, covered with ice. I had sex with her several times every day, but even I was beginning to think that there was something wrong with me. I missed Nancy terribly. She was actually my favorite. This is what happened. I had been friends with the girls for some time. They came by nearly every day, and I helped them with the homework and prepare school reports. The very curious thing about this was that no one seemed to notice this. All during the investigation, there was never any focus on the fact that I was perhaps their best friend. A few days before I accidentally killed them, I taught Amanda how to masturbate & then the next day, I had sex with both of them. We spend the entire evening making out and they didn’t get home until after midnight, without their underwear. Their parents were completely unconcerned by their behaviour. The next day, they skipped school and spent the entire day with me. Apparently their school did not report them truant, and their parents didn’t report them missing, although they again didn’t come home until long after dark. I collected their underwear again.
The next day; Nancy thought that i was paying too much attention to Amanda and began nagging me. I found this very irritating and gently tossed a rock at her. Remarkably, This stone hit her in the head and she fell flat on her face. When I rolled her over, her nose was smashed into her skull and she was lifeless. Naturally Amanda started screaming and I impulsively strangled her. I only stopped when I noticed that she’d crapped all over the patio. They were both laying there nude and I immediately had sex with both of them while they were still fresh. I fully intended to remove them as quickly as i could, but after I carried them into the bathroom and cleaned them off, i put them to bed, where we had more sex. For the next two days, I ate nothing at all, laying beside them, convinced that they would wake up at any moment.
A Week after Amanda was found, Nancy was discovered in the bed of an Abandoned Truck 2 blocks from where i was then living. She was under a filthy canvas, which caused the police to think that she’d been there since shortly after her disappearance. They then began to think that each was murdered in a completely separate incident.
It wasn’t for another 5 years that they thought that I’d killed them.
What gave me away was that the girls came shopping with me one day, and Nancy was throwing a fit because I wouldn’t buy her one of those horrible sugary breakfast cereals.

What Timmy learned from Newspaper accounts & talking with Mr. Halibutt’s psychiatrists was that The Girls had been living with Mr. Halibutt since the murders. They apparently returned from their graves and Their relationship with Mr. Halibutt was just as he most favorably remembered it. Curiously; It was reasonably proved that the girls never went to visit him when their were alive.
But — Even more curiously; A particular psychiatrist several years before; Dr. ( u.r.n. ), became very interested in this case, as Mr. Halibutt was having constant conversations with these two girls. Even when it as thoroughly established that he couldn’t possibly be aware that anyone was observing him. The conversations, as interpreted from only what Mr. Halibutt was saying ( obviously ), They were found by linguists and behavioral psychologists to be exactly structured as a normal conversation would be. This meant, of course, that Mr. Halibutt genuinely believed that he was in the company of these two girls. Dr. u.r.n. managed to develop a very friendly and trusted confidence with Mr. Halibutt and was able to participate in conversations with the girls. Dr. u.r.n. managed to do a substantial amount of research into the lives of the girls, although it was at that time 15 years since the murders. Dr. u.r.n. asked Mr. Halibutt to ask the girls various questions that Dr. u.r.n. was sure that Mr. Halibutt couldn’t possibly know. All these responses were then statistically analyzed, as it was expected that the girls wouldn’t know the answers to some of the questions, as they would have simply forgotten or the sources of the questions would have been mistaken that the girls would ever have known the answers to begin with. It was also expected that some of answers that Mr. Halibutt would have made up would be sufficiently ambiguous or clever to satisfy as a correct answer. There may be The Additional factor of Mr. Halibutt knowing the answers to some of the questions by some mechanism that escaped the notice of Dr. u.r.n. After all the Responses were carefully analyzed; It was determined with an 86% chance of certainty that the girls were actually living with Mr. Halibutt.
Naturally; The Girls parents found this completely unacceptable. They insisted that the girls leave the hospital and either pass over to the other side, or come to live with them. After some very expensive legal wrangling, The hospital was required to turn the girls over to the parents, And although every particular of this transfer was completed, The parents were unconvinced that the girls had come to live with them, and more importantly; Mr. Halibutt was continuing to have animated conversations with the girls. When asked about all this; Mr. Halibutt was considerably more cryptic than usual, and said that what the girls were telling him was too embarrassing to pass along with the hospital staff, lawyers or The families liaisons. After giving this some thought, Nancy’s parents abruptly lost interest in this fiasco and left the state, without leaving any forwarding address. Amanda’s parents continued to spend thousands of dollars to recover the soul of their daughter, but after another 6 months, Amanda’s father committed suicide, and there after; Mr. Halibutt reported him coming to the hospital one evening, and then after spending all evening with the Girls, left weeping. Amanda’s mother somehow snuck into the hospital and found her way into Mr. Halibutt’s cell. She somehow spent 2 days there, and then left, telling her remaining family & lawyers that Amanda was staying with Mr. Halibutt of her own freewill.
And everything returned to ‘normal’ after this for another 10 years, When Mr. Halibutt mentioned to a hospital attendant that the girls were missing. Nothing much was made of it, but it was eventually passed on to Mr. Halibutt’s doctor. Weeks later; purely by accident, it was discovered that another patient in the hospital claimed that the girls had come to visit him, and after a set of the most unlikely circumstances, he accidentally murdered them. After learning this; Mr. Halibutt strangled this other patient, but this wasn’t discovered until Mr. Halibutt’s deathbed confession 4 years later.
