For those of you who don’t know about the Saw movies or just can’t remember, here’s a little background information:

Every horror movie needs a killer and in the Saw series it’s a man who the newspapers have labeled as “Jigsaw”. He received this name because he carves a small puzzle piece into their flesh; this is meant to symbolism that they were lacking something in their lives – mainly the survival instinct. His victims are put into deadly situations that serve a bit of a moral point, a lesson about how they are leading a wasted life. Jigsaw aka John became the teacher of these lessons when he was diagnosed with Cancer by Dr. Gordon. When he survived a suicide attempt that he felt allowed him to be reborn, John set out to carry out an elaborate plan to teach Dr. Gordon what he was lacking in his life. He took a few others along for the ride.

One of them was a junkie named Amanda. When she survived a trap Jigsaw dubbed the “reverse bear trap,” she stated to police that he made her appreciate life more. When Saw II rolled out, she had become his apprentice. Her first test subject and other victims who could be linked to him were held hostage in a house filled with booby-traps.

Now that you are caught up, time for my fic. At some point, these two made it up to Toronto. Don’t ask me why they are there. Use your imagination. Maybe Jigsaw and Amanda have decided to go international after meeting Craig in L.A. as he was looking to score cheaper heroin. They then decided to take on the punks up in Canada. More likely, Amanda ran into Kevin Smith at the supermarket and listening to him drone on about a cool school in the great white north was enough to drive her to homicide.

This story is dark. As in black with no sugar. I’m going for more of a delirious and paranoid tone, but there is minimal gore/blood (after all it is a Saw crossover). I do plan on describing the “traps”/”lessons” and what will happen, but there will be little described what does happen because I think that you can imagine yourself. I will give some warnings at the beginning of each chapter just because I’m nice like that.
