Bomber's Sensors

The "Movement Bomber"

A short horror story by:

Vince Leonardi

      "Phone calls are pouring in about a bombing at the household of 17 year old music star, Grayson Littleton, he suffered major burns and was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Investigators have looked over the rubble and found some clues. There were bomb fragments and a sensor that indicated the bomb was motion sensed. They concluded that the bomber had hidden the bomb in the house." A local news reporter announced. One of his biggest fans, Dixie Jacobs was heartbroken by this news. She was determined to find out who did it.

       She lived on 1039 Easton St. It was about 2 blocks away from the Littleton residence. She had passed it many times before. It had big fences around the house and it was a massive. She did more research about the bombing and found out there had been more like it. A few days earlier there was a bombing on 7828 Radford Ln. This was a similar type where the bomber snuck in and hide a bomb. Like the previous bombing this one was also motion sensed. The bomber seemed to target random people, presumably because he concluded they were unaware of the dangers.

     He didn't hold back in expressing his hatred for the world. He was dubbed the "Movement Bomber" because of unique motion sensed bombs. Dixie was now fearing for her life.

      The next bombing was too close to home. The bomber decided he wanted to go after different target this time. Dixie woke up to an argument between her parents. She peeked through her door and saw divorce papers. She assumed that divorce was the next move. Dixie had been very disrespectful to her father. She constantly ignored him and he felt underappreciated. Did this hatred of his family make Dixie's father a suspect for the bombing? It did make investigators look closer at Mr. Jacobs. As his parents continued to fight, Dixie stayed in her room. Her mom ripped off his shirt and "Movement Bomber" was tattooed on his chest. She was shocked and grabbed the corded phone. She tried to call the police. He then grabbed the phone cord. He wrapped it around her neck. She was dead in minutes and he escaped. Dixie was horrified and a recording was left on play. It said "Dixie you better get out while you can, who knows if you'll be next." Then a bomb went off as she stood up. She died and her father was off the hook again
