I Bought a Serial Killer’s Relic… It Wasn't Empty

Jack, a collector of serial killer relics, acquires Gorman Kyle Daniels' infamous killing jar—a mason jar used to euthanize animals and later humans during a six-year killing spree. After bringing it home, he begins experiencing terrifying hallucinations and supernatural encounters with Daniels, who appears as a ghost demanding Jack kill his girlfriend Alyssa in exchange for eternal riches and power. Despite Jack's resistance, Alyssa mysteriously begins acting strangely, removing the jar's lid, altering the display case, and eventually revealing she has made a pact with Daniels. In a chilling twist, Jack realizes Alyssa has willingly joined the killer’s afterlife, sealing Jack’s fate in a body bag buried beneath a garden she plans to cultivate. The story ends with Jack’s grim acceptance of his role in a macabre legacy, becoming part of the very true crime narrative he once collected as a trophy.
