Hello, everyone!
I hope you've liked my hand at creative writing- I think it's a good start. My Lit. professor tells me I have to "broaden my horizons". I think she thinks that because I'm a physics major, with a career already lined up for me, that I have no interest in stories or anything Liberal Arts related.
As you can already guess, what I wrote a while ago shows what happened between me and a good friend of mine, Mars Maddock. I know it sounds kind of implausible, but believe me when I say I've seen some pretty messed up things in my town, and random crazy girl was not among the top ten.
Actually, I don't like talking about the top 10, because they give me nightmares. One word: Murphy.
If anyone lives in my area, they'll get EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Not least of because, for whatever reason, at exactly noon for practically every day for the past month, their noon whistle has been going off.
I mean, no-one even LIVES in that town anymore. Or, at least, not officially. They got their zip code removed last month, finally, since no-one delivers mail there anymore, anyway. How the hell has the noon whistle been going off? Everything has been shut down- I'm pretty sure power doesn't even run to Murphy anymore, but the teams from NTL Grid that went to try to cut it off haven't been discovered since. It was a big thing, locally, but it was kept hush-hush. Nothing looks worse for a big corporation than a huge team of their men going missing for no discernible reason.
Anyway, I just got totally off topic. As I was saying, crazy homeless girl was unnerving, not really scary. Or maybe I'm just jaded. The Blackwood, for example, was a million times more fucked up. And besides, the human element can be far more creepy. One day, I saw a lady walking through the parking lot of shopping market HUGE-E's with a baby carrier attached to the top. At first, of course, I didn't think anything of it. She was talking to it like a normal mom with a baby would.
Until I walked past her to my car, and noticed the baby was awfully still. So I couldn't help but glance up to check out the situation. She didn't have a baby in the carrier- it was a package of raw hamburger. Thinking about it still gives me the chills.
Anyway, I'm signing off for now. I'll try to update the blog with stuff more regularly.
Also, in regards to the first two stories, I have no idea how those got on there, and I have no idea how to take them off. I keep trying, but those two stories keep popping up. They say they came from books or magazines or something, but I've never heard of them, myself. If anyone else has, give me a shout.
