In that Place again

He isn't... Playing red-light, green-light anymore guys.

God... Where do I fucking start. I... Don't really... One minute I was walking out of my room, and the next I was... It was like I was in a forest. Or a forest from an old photograph. It was daytime before, there was sunlight... But then everything looked dark and washed out. Those trees weren't like any kind of plant I have ever seen. Have you ever seen a tree with pitch black leaves? Their branches and trunks were twisted into shapes I can't... Describe. I had no idea what the fuck was going on, but I knew it had to be Him again.

So I did what my mind was begging me to do, and ran. I didn't pick a direction, I just ran as fast as I could without risking balance through that hell-forest. He was after me, I didn't even need to look back to know that he was there. Maybe I should have, because it might have made me run even faster if I had seen what he showed later...

Eventually I ran onto what I thought was a clearing, but was instead a long unlit street. The streetlights were dead, or burned out. There were several small, colorless houses lined up on the sides. They had no doors, or windows that I could see. All over the street I saw discarded objects. Dolls, basketballs, rusted tricycles, and other childish mementos. There was even a playground visible, slides, see-saws and jungle gyms, all rotting and rusted, sprinkled with dark stains and puddles of inky black. Everything was... Silent. The only living things in sight were those abominations of trees, twisting out of the ground and blotting out the entire sky, save for a patch of open, starless, darkness high above. Surely this was what hell looked like.

Then I saw Him as he came towards me without pause. I grabbed a nearby broken tree branch for protection, but it didn't matter. I was paralyzed with fear, I think. I saw these four, long, black fleshy tendrils come out of his back and writhe towards me. I think... I think it broke my fight or flight instinct, as I could do neither. Just watching Him come forward to... kill me... I couldn't even scream.

But you know what?

He was fucking with me. He was fucking with me again. I would be the last? Isn't that what you said you piece of shit? So why the fuck is he even bothering with this? What the fuck does he gain from that?

I regained my senses on the side of the creek, near the woods around the college. My heart was pounding, I was crying. My legs ached from the running, so I knew it was real. It was... Like that place, all over again. But this time was so much worse. I don't... Know if I can take this. This can't happen again. I can't take it.

I am an Idiot

Dear Diary, I did something stupid today.

Future-Me, do you remember that nice 30 foot drop into a small creek near the woods? Future-Me, do you remember that time one of the local kids Carlos was entertaining accidentally dropped a goddamn doll over that drop, and it landed on top a tree? Yeah. Fun times. I really would have thought my body would have recovered from my injuries a bit more by now, but I hurt like hell! Everything that was broken is now insanely sore again, and I don't know why. I just climbed a tree. That was it. It shouldn't make me feel fresh out of the hospital.

At least the girl was happy to have it back, though her Mom might be more reluctant to let her come watch the Amazing Carlos eat fire and blow it out in front of a group of children. She just freaked out for no reason and bolted away from the "scary man." That is probably the biggest compliment anyone has ever given Carlos. "Scary." He looks like a goober even without the magician outfit. Maybe she was expecting Harry Potter or something?

Actually that might be above her reading level, now that I think about it.

Carlos seems just depressed about the whole thing, though. Real perfectionist about his performing, and kids are his favorite audience. I told him he can't please everyone, and there will always be some oddballs in the audience that don't think he is entertaining or... Thinks he consorts with Satan or something, to get his magic powers. Because the kid really did look scared.

Maybe I should tell Carlos to knock off the fire breathing and eating around kids that young. For now, I am going the fuck to sleep and hopefully not feel like garbage when I wake up.

Been a Year

Its that day again.

That idiot Carlos got himself trapped in a straight-jacket and started screaming like an idiot. Freaked me the fuck out. Fucking isn't the day for shit to be startling me like that. Should have just left the dumbass to struggle a bit more and

Well, I have homework and crap to do anyway.
