The Doctor Is In

Chapter One: The First Taste

By Bailey SchooleyPublished 8 years ago 4 min read

Dr. Robert Alaric was a professional plastic surgeon. He helped people perfect the flaws they saw in themselves. It was something that he secretly enjoyed not for the happiness after the surgery, but the misery before. He enjoyed them coming to him depressed and self loathing. He often enhanced that by telling them they were right the body parts they hated were hideous. The truth was the doctor was a twisted person, but they were too caught up in their own hate that they did not catch on to it.

Robert had gone to college and started to major in old medicine, but he couldn't make a living off of that and his lifestyle he needed to make sure he was going to live comfortably. You know, cover any mishaps. So he switched majors and went into elective surgery. It was something that would always be wanted not really needed, but people were always going to want to fix what they hated about themselves. He excelled in school and then opened his own practice. He did not have a partner, he could not risk anyone catching on to his true intentions.

If you have ever looked into old medicine practices, cannibalism was big into curing anything from headaches to cancer. Human meat was the best kind of medicine, all the old books told him different parts and what they were good for. He started battling depression because he was failing at his life calling and had never tasted human flesh before it started to build migraines. Finally, one day a young woman came into his office, he decided that her tone fit body would be the first taste.

She hated her arms, stomach and ass. Her name was Sabrina and her boyfriend had made it clear that she needed to fix her appearance before he would take her to his family's country club and introduces her to a higher society. He was the one paying for the surgery. They spent and hour talking about what they were going to do with everything. They had the perfect plan.

Dr. Alaric felt bad for this girl, if she was willing to do this for one guy then she was truly a lost soul. He needed to save her from herself and from the men she attracted. The doctor was going to help. Robert Alaric was going to set her free.

She came in and the surgery went beautifully he sucked all her problems down a tube and into a hazardous material bag. She was perfect. His work was not done, she was still under the pain medicine when he injected the needle of air in between her toes and caused a heart attack. She seized and the monitors beeped and beeped. He gave her a couple shocks "attempting" to save her life. Then pronounced her dead. He took his time and cut into her stomach again and took a cheese-slice size of muscle from her abdomen and put it in a zip-lock bag.

Cause of death: Complications with surgery. She had a weak heart and the pain medicine proved to be too much for her.

At home he looked up recipes for pork, he was told that human tasted like pig. He wanted to make the best dinner, he could. Pork with a Pineapple Relish. His home started filling up with a beautiful smell of meat cooking. Vegetarians would never under the true love of a meat eater and that astonishing smell associated with cooking meat. Vegetables never smelled this amazing. Robert loved the sounds of the meat sizzling, he had cooked many meals in his time but nothing before had ever filled him with this much enjoyment. He carefully flipped the meat to fry the other size.

Sabrina's abdomen meat glistened with grease and the spices on the meat made this into a piece of art. The doctor started feeling guilt about eating it not because it was a person but because it was so beautiful. He was creating something to be envied.

He sat at his dinner table in front of the plate in complete awe. The meat sat next to shaved squash and zucchini, the entire plate was just pleasing to look at. He knew that if anyone looked at it they would never even know that his had been cut off a person. Robert bowed his head and said a small thanks to Sabrina for his first experience. Then took his steak knife and slowly and patiently cut into the meat. It was so tender and juicy.

Taking his fork up to his nose, giving him self a quick intake of the aroma coming off the steaming meat. He closed his eyes and lowered the meat into his mouth.

It was perfect, the doctor mentally patted himself on the back as the meat danced on his tongue. He felt something tingling all over his body, the old text was right. Human meat had some amazing healing qualities, it pulsed through him, head to toe.

This was the start of something amazing.

This is the beginning.
