  • The Mothman Reborn Part 2

    Daryl huffed as he ran as fast as he could towards home, but he couldn’t help but be a little distracted by the buildings as he passed by. Point Pleasant, West Virginia, home of the Mothman and his… prophecies… and also the home of the annual Mothman Festival. Shop owners were busy hanging mothman streamers and flags. One owner had brought out a mothman statue made out of toothpicks.

    ‘Focus,’ thought Daryl, ‘Must get home before Kevin finds me.’

    Daryl ran; he ran until his muscles felt like jelly, ready to fall off his aching bones. He was getting close. He was just outside of town, close to the abandoned power plant where the mothman was supposed to reside. Daryl stopped, looking left and right, he didn’t see any sign of Kevin. His head turned toward the power plant, its red brick, smoky from the years of disuse, windows broken and angry-looking with crooked teeth of glass and metal, boarded up doors, and lot of discarded materials littering the overgrown grass.

    It looked so desolate and lonely…

    ‘Kapow!’

    The Mothman Reborn: Part 1

    The clock’s hands moved slowly. Daryl Kern’s dark eyes leapt from the pages of his notebook to the white face of the clock in the front of the classroom every few seconds, hoping that by some feet of magical time travel, he would find the day to be over. But instead it seemed the more often he jerked his head towards the upper wall’s center, the slower the tiny black hands circled the face.

    He scratched his head, his fingertips meeting the long curls of his budding afro. He didn’t particularly like his hair and was hoping he would get the time to cut it the following weekend. Of course, he was going to have to wash it first, as he inevitably understood that it would be matted with blood by the time the day was done.

    Thinking about it made him shake in his seat a little, he cupped his face in his hands, trying to keep anyone from seeing his eyes welling up. Daryl had a problem. His name was Kevin Holler.

  • Splitzo Frenetica: Chapter 1

    Welcome to the Psyche Ward

    Where am I? I had these episodes often. I would wake up, not knowing where I was or how I got there. I was fortunate, however, to always be found by a nurse. I never thought I could like a place like this…

    I remember the first day my parents left me here. It was a cool morning; I think it was September. We walked into the building… At the time, I didn’t know, but it was an asylum. I remember the smell on the inside. It smelled clean and it looked orderly. It felt calm, but there was something in the air as if something was coming…

    Do you feel that, Jamie… Violence… ha ha…

    This is not the time for your bothersome tom foolery…

    Hey that doctor is kind of cute…

    Guys seriously, keep it down a little… geez…
