Since December of 2006

Since December of 2006, twelve mutilated bodies have been discovered on and around the shoreline of Victoria, British Columbia. Authorities are slow to call the carnage the work of a serial killer, but as the body count increases, so does the public outcry for information. Who is responsible? What are the police doing to protect its citizens? Even the most skeptical are hard-pressed to believe that the twelve killings are the work of twelve different, deranged individuals. 'Serial' is on the tip of everyones tongues. Some whisper it in horror. Others wait for another body to appear with sickly sadistic smiles.

Though public attention remains focused upon the current twelve cases, scrambling detectives are beginning to notice similarities in dozens more cold cases around Victoria and the southern portion of Vancouver Island. The oldest suspected crime dates back to the mid 1980's. All officials involved, while publicly stoic, are privately anxious as the strain of the investigation begins to wear on the stumbling investigators.

Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of all of these murders is the fact that the victims are being pinpointed by the killer not on the streets of Victoria, but on the ferry that is the only means of transport between the island and mainland Vancouver. With no bridges linking Victoria to Vancouver, almost all of Victoria's residents ride the ferry, and it appears that this ferry is where the killer spies his victims. Because of this manner of choosing prey, investigators fear that truly, nobody in Victoria is safe until the killer is found.

But life in Victoria goes on. It's citizens go about their daily rituals with little hindrance to their routines. Some do this out of a refusal to be driven by fear. Most do it by no choice of their own, having to board that dreaded ferry to taxi to Vancouver on a daily basis. Even Victoria hot spot, Delirium, has shown a nonexistent slow in business. The club is as busy as ever. Delirium is filled to capacity every night, regardless of what police have found half swallowed by the roars of the surf or hastily covered with litter in the basement of a building. Many use Delirium as an escape from the horrors of reality. Even more use the club as a place to get the freshest, most gruesome gossip about recently found bodies in and around their neighborhoods.

At the beginning of the summer the popular pirated radio station WTFM began covering almost exclusively the Victoria Serial Murders, host 'Thrill O'Really' going so far as to coax the killer into phoning his show. Though he has yet to receive the coveted call, nightly callers to "Thrill Kill" have the host's switch board lighting up through the entire program. "Thrill Kill" is all the rage among the youth of Victoria. Much of Victoria's youth haunt clubs on the weekends in search of the notorious Thrill O'Really. It's rumored that Thrill visits Delirium every now and again. Because of this, most of Delirium is hooked on the underground radio program, not only waiting for the killer to call in, but searching for clues to Thrill O'Really's true identity.

As though fueled by a radio show dedicated solely to mass murder, the cycle of Victoria's resident killer seems to be increasing. The killers appetite for slaughter is becoming more and more insatiable. How long before the next body is discovered in this picturesque city? How long before another victim meets the sharp end of the ripper's knife? Who will be his next unassuming victim? And when, if ever, will the killer call into WTFM? The youth of Victoria BC wait with baited breath, crossing their fingers for their chances to hear the voice of pure, unadulterated evil.
