John the Rapist

John the Rapist lived in a quiet cul-de-sac in the comfortable suburbs. He had a good job, an attractive wife, two kids, a dog and a 2008 Ford Mondeo.

Every few months he would go out late at night and prowl. Sometimes he found a victim. Sometimes he did not.

John the Rapist contributed to his son’s football team. He helped ferry the lads to and from games and he made them laugh with his quick wit and funny stories.

The screams didn’t matter to him. The struggles only empowered him. He fed off them.

John the Rapist was popular in work, conscientious and dedicated. They said the office was a duller place when he wasn’t around.

He knew he wasn’t a killer. He didn’t abuse children. There were worse than him.

John the Rapist wept for his mother when she died. He held his father, feeble, shaking with grief. He gave a eulogy that everyone said only he could have given. Someone so good, so caring.

He was always too powerful. His strong, gloved hands fought off any resistance. He would have what he wanted.

John the Rapist fell down dead in his back garden. Heart attack, said the doctors. Nobody could have seen it coming. He so fit and healthy. They mourned him, the beloved husband, the loving father, the popular colleague.

Nobody ever knew.

    True, like the guy I worked with who later got convicted of beating the crap out of his wife and he was the most pleasant mild mannered guy when he was in work.

  10. Breathlessly and brilliantly written. What a commentary on the human condition.

    …and women jo,you dont want Womens Rights groups on your back..
    Women can be as equally Evil as any man..

  12. Jo says:

    Yeah, I’m waiting for Twenty’s post about Jane the Rapist tomorrow to go there.

    I’m not arguing, Fill, but if I’d ammended that quote to ‘(wo)men’ I’d have incurred some anti PC slaggin’, I think.

    Actually I was trying to think of some parallel crime to be funny about, but I couldn’t really.

    What else do people do, other than child abuse and wife beating, so we could have a Someone the Something to talk about?

    Timmy the Terrorist? Freddie the Flasher? Shanna the Shoplifter?

    Augusto, good call. One of my favourite films. Dark as fuck. Great satire too. If anyone wants a lend, I have the DVD

    surprise sex gets a very bad rap in the press these days

  23. Conan Drumm says:

    A touching vignette, or vinaigrette in this instance.

    Stinking Pete might opine, if he were the literary type, that comparisons are odorous. Memory tells me Twenty hates ‘A History of Violence’.

    Is John one of the Anglo 10?

  25. Jo says:

    Perhaps next week we could have a sectarian story of John the Papist.

  26. Limmypins says:

    i like john, he was a real people person, he new what he wanted and he took it. nothin wrong with that, he showed initiative

    I like the way you corrected your poor spelling by completely fucking up the tenses.

  29. Salubri says:

    Quite disturbing…
    ¬.¬

  30. I wonder how many victims have been gored even further by hearing “Shut up you little hoor, you’re making it up. John’s a good lad, we go way back.”

    People get by with so much shit on the backs of their being a “good lad”. It makes me fucking sick.

    Good post, Twenty.

  31. wordhole says:

    What do 9 out of 10 people enjoy?

    Gang rape…

  32. Twenty Major says:

    Oh man … I was hoping someone would come along with a fresh new joke about gang rape and I wasn’t disappointed.

  33. Peadar says:

    I like rapeys one – rape = surprise sex

  34. wordhole says:

    First time caller, long time listener… so I’m glad I didn’t disappoint…

    The standard of humour in here is usually so high I wasn’t sure I could live up to it.

  35. Jo says:

    I like it too.

    But I’m conflicted.

    Intensely serious post v merry rape jokes.

    If I’d been raped, would that work for me?
    I’m not trying to give out, just wondering.

    Jane the rapist would never last: the hookers would kill her. Free competition doesn’t hold with them.

    John the Rapist fell down dead in his back garden. Heart attack, said the doctors. Actually, he wasn’t dead when he fell down, but soon after. As the life slipped away from him, the highlights of his life flashed through his mind. He slobbered as he remembered those bitches he had done and then all was darkness. The morgue attendants wondered at the size of the horn he was sporting when they brought him in, and the undertaker had a hell of a job getting the lid of the coffin closed …

    words fail me…..

  42. snookertony says:

    But they should have known. The autopsy showed he’d died of a heart attack and a tissue sample was taken “for record purposes”.
    Much later when DNA tests were carried out on the various samples held in the back room….

    What’s the worst thing about gang rape?

    Standing in the queue.

    Is this fellow a wanker, or a chancer, or a cunt or just a fucking cunt of a chancer and wanker?
