Bloody Murder: Borden Takes Chicago

A Story by Abishai100

Furies gang leader Dirk Calloway leads a vigilante pursuit of an elusive female serial-killer in Chicago named Shelbye Borden.

One more post-retirement short-story, and this dark tale about bloody murder in Chicago (USA) was loosely-inspired by multiple American films about crime, depression, diligence...and damsels! Thanks so much for reading,

Shellbye Borden moved to the busy U.S. city of Chicago (Illinois) in the post-Coronavirus summer of 2021 and began setting up shop as the manager of a fine cigar store. Borden doubled at night as a serial-killer, either luring men from nightclubs into her apartment and drugging and decapitating them or murdering them in alleys by cornering drunken men walking out of pubs and into alleys. Borden had killed over 20 men in just two months and evaded detection by the CPD (Chicago Police Department) as well as the FBI who'd taken up her case. Shelbye Borden had turned Chicago into a lens for modern hell.

However, a small vigilante-bent group, comprised simply of members of a Chicago street-gang called the Furies, who dressed up as classic baseball players, decided to roam the streets and track down this elusive serial-killer of random men who visited and patronized pubs and nightclubs. The Furies were led by Dirk Calloway and liked to patrol the scour the streets of Chicago at night in search of the murdering Shelbye Borden. The Furies were the only hope the city had now in stopping Borden of her heinous modern-day crimes in America. The Furies were nevertheless dressed and dramatic and passionate.

FURIES (DIRK CALLOWAY): We Furies have a devotion to this great American city and are resolved to find creative ways to track, follow, and capture this elusive modern-day serial-killer of men who frequent Chicago's nightclubs and pubs; I personally think this serial-killer is a woman, a new city-dweller who wants to turn the skyline into something...rather dour!

SHELBYE BORDEN: I doubt anyone can stop me, especially these colorful pseudo-homoerotic Furies street-gang in Chicago, and while I'm open-minded to the thought that new age urban gangs in America are not necessarily stupid, I fail to see how dressed up clowns or baseball-dogs can deter me from my overall urban mission to bring real death to Chicago!

As Shelbye Borden's crimes mounted in Chicago, the Furies continued to trail her and pursue her as the ultimate enemy of the state. The Furies wanted to see if Borden was the 'real-deal' in terms of her developed media visage as a new age Jack the Ripper. Dirk Calloway of the Furies continued to develop his personal theory that Borden, the elusive serial-killer of Chicago men who frequented nightclubs and pubs, was a woman and not a man. Meanwhile, the CPD (Chicago Police Department) continued to clean up Borden's post-crime trail of blood and bloody murder.

Dirk Calloway's girlfriend Linda Stanford wanted to get involved in this hunt for the Chicago Jack-the-Ripper. Linda believed, like Dirk, that Borden must be a woman since she was targeting random nightclub and pub men in the city who had no real history of any deviant behaviors. Linda and Dirk quickly became a detective-duo, though the pretty Linda didn't get as dirty or deep as her Furies leader boyfriend Dirk Calloway. Linda Stanford simply thought her duty in this dramatic Chicago story was to just determine if the elusive serial-killer Borden was somehow a dictator of modern diligence.

SHELBYE BORDEN: I get the eerie feeling that Dirk Calloway and Linda Stanford are similar to me and are drawn to this deformed case because of some personal and shared creative notion, which is why it seems an ideal route for action and decision-making would be to create a more 'artistic' method for crime dialogue in this developing dark story about Chicago hell.

Shelbye Borden anonymously mailed to the Chicago Museum of Fine Art a stolen print of Salvador Dali's famous painting Murders which depicted a mental cognition about the tangibility of deformed self-idealization in times of eschewed private vanities. This painting was sent with the note, "I doubt the Furies can determine why the elusive modern-day Chicago Jack-the-Ripper is destined!" The Museum was shocked but created a special exhibit because of the shocking mailing.

FURIES (DIRK CALLOWAY): I won't let this deranged psycho deform this great Chicago city with this new and eerie brand of targeted death, which is why I think this will be considered an American story about great human disease.
