This tale happened to me a few years back. I had just turned 21 and now, officially an adult, I decided to get back into a favorite children’s book series. I know that may sound weird, an adult buying kids books instead of beer and cancer sticks, but when kids my age were reading these books I was reading Stephen King and Dean Koontz. The author of those books also made a show for young adults in Canada, which I’m not sure if it ever aired here or not. All I know, Netflix had the first season. I watched it one night and learned something new, a new place, the Dark Web.



I immediately began to poke around, do research on this place, did it exist? If it did, how do you get there? After downloading TOR, I went to the Hidden Wiki, which is nothing like the Wiki or its links of the normal internet. The links are just streams of numbers, sometimes ending in nothing, other times ending in a .onion. My research told me what awaited me in the Dark Web. Drugs, weapons, child porn, snuff films, rape, but I’ve always been a horror junkie and have often browsed websites like Rotten and Bestgore, so I found myself to be pretty prepared.



I was a tad worried about the FBI, I was not looking to buy drugs or sell weapons (and vice versa for both!), I wasn’t interested in child porn, I might mull in the snuff area, but not pay for anything. I just wanted to poke around, not break any laws. Before any of you sharpen your pitchforks about my wanting to look at snuff, calm yourselves. Plus, aren’t like 90% of snuff movies fake? So, please, calm down. The first link I clicked took me to a site called the Butcher’s House. A poster would post a new thread with W and however big of a money amount and then M and again, a money amount. A few people bit and after more codes and more money, a video was posted.



The poster either went out or had someone else go out, a go-pro secured on themselves, and with a live feed to the Butcher’s House, would stream either a man or woman (as old as 50 and as young as 5!) being raped and the slaughtered. I clicked away, disgusted. I clicked the very last link and a place web page opened up called Look Both Ways. My first thought was a child abduction site for pedophiles to abduct children, but it was not…yes, children could be abducted, but so could teens and adults, it was a human trafficking site. Human trafficking makes me sick to my stomach.



But when I scrolled to read the posts, my stomach flopped and my heart stopped. KCD, my late father’s initials, was a poster. I know, I know, other people can have KCD as their initials and not be related to me, but it was him, the post he made was a picture of me and the price of $30,000 below my photo. What was even sicker, was there were takers. People willing to buy me. A guy named Dollman69 offered to pay him double if my father made me an amputee doll. But none of this made me leave, that photo was an old photo, I wasn’t even 13 in that photo. He probably scammed people out of their money.



But I kept reading, after all, this was my thread, but a very recent post,   five days ago recent, made me lose my shit and wipe away all that I could that I had even gone near the Deep Web. My late father, KCD, posted.



“ Sorry for disappearing. Not easy faking your own death. That little thing I posted, is still on the table, but she’s all grown up. Still new, a virgin. Only 21 years old. $80,000.”



After those words, was a photo of me changing to get in the shower…  </ac_metadata>
