Those were almost 30 pictures for the first girl, and it was the one you found the least attractive, so there really shouldn't be any complaints about the length. I'm certainly not complaining, this is going into the right direction. And i'm very happy you are posting so much right now, even if you can't keep that up for long.

Afaik the bump limit has been raised to 25000, so it has been effectively removed. I read that a while ago in a discussion thread that has apparently been deleted.

No idea about those posts without any content, they happen in a few threads, in this thread just more than in any other. It doesn't really make sense that they are just bumps since most of those threads are on the first page anyway. Maybe missclicks or weird glitches where sometimes people make a post when they just wanted to view the thread? I know some people have problems with imageboards, your threads have been linked a few times on lolicit and there were complaints that this site is very hard to navigate.

Going on to my alternate ending for the CDL story. I went all out with the torture and made a few callbacks to earlier parts of the story:

Everything stays the same until just before Malcolm gets shot, so you just ignore the last 10 pictures. This time, Malcolm spots the girls before they see him. He is already retreating when Darla fires two shots at him, she misses. The girls start chasing him, Darla fires off another shot but misses again when he gets around another corner. Now the two girls stumble upon Laura in her room and decide to free her first. Then the three of them continue their hunt for Malcolm or a way out of the dungeon. They find him in the common room, where he is frantically trying to find something to defend himself against those little nightmares. Now Darla has him right where she wants him and pulls the trigger again - but she ran out of bullets. Malcolm sees his chance and attacks the girls. They try to fight back, but he isn't as out of shape as Jacob, he can fight and they are already injured a lot. He easily deals with Carla and Darla, and while Laura is a good fighter, her fingers are still broken, she can't do enough and he chokes her out.

Malcom now has the three girls captured again. He knows the other two guys are dead. Jacob will be expected upstairs by the police in just a few hours, so he is running out of time, he has to get rid of the girls today. He is really angry about that, not so much about the other guys, he didn't care that much about them, but the girls completely screwed up his plan, even worse than they did it with their first escape attempt, and they came really close to killing him. So he brings them all into position in one room for one final torture session. He wants to kill them now, but he really wants to make them pay for what they did, so he wants to try out all those nasty things he couldn't do before.

The final scene starts with the girls already tied or shackled into position: Carla with her arms hanging from the ceiling, her legs spread and tied to the side. Laura tied to a cross with her arms spread out and a garotte around her neck - something like the garotte you used with Mary, just with another horizontal bar for her arms. Darla is in a very similar position to her very first torture scene, tied to a post with a noose around her neck, there is also some rope that ties her torso to the post. He starts by raping Carla for the last time, then he moves the cauldron with the hot coals between Carla's legs to slowly roast her bottom, she didn't have any encounter with the fire yet, time to change that. Then he moves on by nailing Laura's hands and feet to the cross and starts tightening the garotte to start strangling her, for now it's just uncomfortable and not very tight yet.

He also tightens the noose around Darla's neck and rapes her for the final time. Then he uses the hot iron on Darla, she should get more than just a little taste of it, eventually he uses it to burn out her pussy. Now he gets a big hammer and breaks Carla's legs, so she knows her time as a ballerina is over and also to make it harder for her to get away from the fire under her, she can't really stand on her legs any more. It's time to make the garotte tighter, it's getting harder for Laura to breath. Then he gets out a knife, he might play with it a little bit and give them a few shallow cuts, then he cuts off all their remaining nipples, and then he uses it to cut off Carla's ears and to cut out Laura's tongue.

Finally it's time for a complete dismemberment, he gets a huge axe and Darla loses her arms and legs, that's why she is kept in place with other restraints. And since we don't want her to bleed out just yet he can use the hot iron to cauterize her wounds.

Very early in the story he promised Darla he would "let you keep your pretty eyes… for now", it's time to get back to that and gouge them out with the same tool he used to start her torture on the first day. Now the set is complete, one girl can't hear, one girl can't speak and one girl can't see any more. And it's time to make the garotte tighter again, with her mouth bleeding a lot from losing her tongue Laura barely gets enough air now. Meanwhile Carla's ass and pussy get crispy from the fire.

It's time to get some skewers and use them, this time they don't just go into tits, they go everywhere through their bodies. It will take a while to hit something vital, every girl gets a few skewers but Carla is the focus of attention this time and eventually her lungs get punctured, so he leaves her to choke on her own blood, the skewers killed her in a similar way to Tommi who got killed by her. Laura is barely getting enough air to survive, now it's time to tighten the garotte for the final time so she dies similar to Bob who got killed by her. While her friends are dying, it's time to cut away the rope that ties Darla to the pillar. That leaves her hanging just by the noose around her neck, and so all three girls can die together.
