I found these old notes on a story I was planning on writing but never did and I Found them amusing so maybe you will too.
(its just loose notes strung togethor, basically a skeleton of a story)
And since I really have nothing else to post, This will just have to do.
-The End-
———————————-
A shadow loops slowly around and around.
A nightmare of pain, sadness and self-damning relief…
Playing over and over again, static in my mind.
My Mother hangs from an electric cord tied tight and strong onto a heavy old wood ceiling fan.
It screeches like dead fingernails racked slowly across some endless blackboard as it carries her in slow agonizing circles around the ceiling.
I am sixteen.
But in my dreams of that scene.
I am a little boy again.
I read her suicide note slowly… with the soft unmarred voice of my childhood.
Every word Invokes memories.
Some I shouldn’t even have.
“It’s Not death if you Refuse it…”
“Do toasters believe in God?”
“Do you?”
“My cherished boy. Baptized and Anointed, from his very first breath in his loving mothers blood.”
I don’t remember my birth… does anyone?
But
I dream about it.
Years before I was born…
My mother was Stabbed 11 times
(I don’t know why or when.)
Only that the damage caused was supposed to render her unable to have children.
I was born anyway it seams. Impossibility be damned.
And in my Dreams of that night
(And it Always… always is at night)
The Nurses are Screaming
And the Doctor’s eyes are Wide and strained and empty.
Everyone is covered in blood.
And my mother holds me and sings
“You are my angel of fire, of blood.
My special little Hollow eyed Knight”
She would whisper that too me when I was younger as she danced around our small dirty Kitchen. Her eyes were always wild with a crazy smile upon her lips…. She would dance Palms up with Butcher knives Balanced blade down and embedded deep into her hands.
I would Hide in the closet.
“Her Children walk on velvet feet
And they make no sounds at all;
And in Gods eye’s… they nightly sit
To watch the darkness fall.
She dreams the beauty of mans atrocities
And lies in wait for you.
Whose lips are as still as hers?
Whose kiss as soft as fur?”
“Pain is never something that you should feel.
When it nocks Simply do not answer the door.
And its sister Fear…
She is a whore who only goes where she is invited.
Simply forget her name.
For they, are gifts to be Bestowed only upon others…
Fear.
Fear and
Pain.”
There is snow falling.
And the night glows softly under winter chimes.
Cherrie is crying into my lap.
My fist is clenched so hard at my side that blood trickles out and leaves dainty markings in the snow.
She’s looking up at me
Her eyes are so bright they feel like they could scald me.
I kiss her forehead…
She’s a girl with a broken jaw
That her own father gave to her.
My eyes are Filled with murder
And she is no longer there.
It is only me
A Baseball bat
And the shadows…
My God the shadows…
That was the first Time
I ever killed someone.
I was 12 years old.
“Looking down from the Cross…
I wonder what you see…
My hallow eyed knight”
Cherrie.
Her smiling face.
Her grandmother makes the most wonderful brownies
There is a math test with a bright red A on the refrigerator.
She’s going to make it out of this cold rusty dying town.
I tell her that I’ll always be there if she needs me
And I will— always…
always
Protect her.
Forever
{Only forever?}
Forever
And ever…
I walk away as the Sun dies and the maw of Darkness slowly swallows her Grandmothers tiny… tiny home.
Cherrie…
“Oh my Love…
How wonderful is Death,
Death… and Her father sleep.”
Cherries Grandmother is crying and wailing and screaming.
But it’s all on mute.
I walk through a house Colored Gray that used to glow so much with warmth and love.
She Sleeps like an Angel
Cherrie…
The Bathroom is only red. Red… and the dullest of Grays.
There are Crosses cut beautifully into her wrists.
And there’s note
Eloquently pinned…
Only Three Words
“I’m Sorry”
And
“Rape.”
Only three Names…
“Jed.Carl.Sam.”
She’s kissed the back of the note in blood.
My mothers suicide note rings through my ears again.
“Silhouetted against the fall of ash, a beautiful being tall.
She promises Death and absolution for all her stony Children.
Can you Taste the Furious adjures of her voice?
She waits for you, my love…
Her groom.”
Everything is Fevered and Harsh.
Nothing is real.
There is no Color: only white, gray and black…
dancing together madly into chaos.
My mind slowly dies
Maybe my soul too
And everything fades to darkness.
God… You Bastard…
She was all softness, Innocence and … That Indescribable kind purity that should exist in every one of us… but doesn’t.
You Bastard…
Breathing
My breathing
Ragged
Strong.
Somewhere a light rises into my fevered dream.
There is Light
I am standing
And I am nothing but hate
There is a Pen in my hand
And then Suddenly There is a Pen in Sam’s neck
And then the pen is in Jed’s leg
and then his chest–
—again and again and again and again and again.
In Carl’s face there is only fear…
But soon it will be filled with pain as well
I can hear my mothers voice again…
“The kittens play no more,
All The songbirds are weary,
The Tulips have all folded up,
And So many Little Tiny Hands are coming
For you my dearie.
The Children are playing in the dead woods,
The Children are singing in the skeleton town,
They’re all tucked in tight and sleepy
In their burning beds—All a’fire.
Their ashen lips are whispering to you.
Kiss them goodnight, Kiss them goodnight…
my Pretty.”
“Goodnight- Goodnight my Dearie.”
“P.S.
Nuns have many arms
And they crawl like spiders
On the ceiling”
I dreamt
That Nightmare
Like a flip-book of my life
As the stout black Cadillac of social services
Ferried me from the Dying Rust-belt town of my birth to the small
New-England town of Patricksburg.
The hometown of my Last living relative.
My Great Aunt Scharlet.
The town was nothing like the place I had come from.
It was all quaint old world houses, cobble streets, Pine trees and pale blue skies.
My new home…
A large dark house looming at the outskirts of town.
Cold gray stones winded their way towards its dark wooden doors.
And my first steps through that maw echoed from every corner of the house like a death groan.
My Aunt however was not there to meet me and by the time I turned around the man who had brought me was gone. The sound of dropping my few Possessions at the entrance, thudded and resounded throughout the entire house like it was some endless cave.
I shouted to see if she was there and the resulting echo was warped and distorted… I would remember to never do that again.
My aunts kitchen was Elegant yet still rustic… She had lots of very large knives hung like trophies throughout it…
The entire place unnerved me.
I found her sitting in the living room. a cup of hot tea on the table beside her, steam dancing slowly through the dusty air.
She sat smiling, wide eyed and tight lipped… Starring at me from her chair.
I Introduced myself…
No response.
I thanked her for taking me in…
No response.
I asked if she was feeling ok…
No response.
I stood Silently starring back at her…
No response.
I walked up and waved my hand in her face…
No response.
Was every member of my Family… Insane?
I asked her where my Room was at…
No response.
I sat down with huff.
Great…
Great…
I go from an Insane Mother to a Comatose Great Aunt…
I want to lay down… but I don’t where my room is…
What a fucking wonderful life.
I picked up my bags and went to look for a guest room to claim as my own.
A Library…
A Sewing Room,
A Locked door,
A bathroom,
Bingo.
The guest room was small and comfy… It reminded me of my old room.
I threw my bags on the bed and began to unpack when there was a creek behind me. As I Turned I could hear her wheezing breath quicken in all to creepy anticipation.
She was standing a couple feet into the room right behind me.
Stooped and giving me that eerie unmoving smile again.
“Hi… Mrs. Scharlet…”
Silence, except for the rapid wheeze of her breathing.
“Is it ok if I take this room?”
Silence…
“Ok… well I think I’m just going to lay down for awhile… It’s been a very long drive.”
Still she just stood there smiling and freaking me the hell out.
Well at least now I know she’s not an invalid. Although I don’t know how comforting the thought of her being able to move actually is.
I gently… yet forceful lead her back out into the hallway and lock my door.
I woke up later to a Loud Bell ringing and echoing throughout the house. The sound warped eerily as it traveled.
I followed the Sound to the Kitchen.
My Aunt sat at the Dinner table. Food and dinner were set up and there was a tiny little dog eating out of its dog bowl in the corner.
“Oh… Thanks for cooking dinner Mrs. Scharlet.”
She responded with a dry crisp voice that almost sounded like a muffled cackle.
“Oh Dearie, Call me Auntie.”
I was a little shocked that she actually spoke as I sat down at the table.
she had already put food out on a plate for me.
“How about I just call you Aunt” I said smiling.
“ No No No… that won’t do, I must demand that you call me Auntie.”
She said with a deep unnerving undertone of seriousness.
I agreed.
She didn’t eat.
She only watched me watch her, as she watched me eat.
I ate quickly.
When I had finished, I thanked her for the lovely meal and scooted back my chair to leave.
She however suddenly cocked her head at an odd angle and spouted—
“See my Dog?”
I kind of looked at her for a moment before responding…
“ Yah… um, It’s a cute little dog”
She smiled wider and even more crazily.
“She’s a Vicious Attack dog… a Trained killer.”
I stared at her, a little thrown off…
“Well… I better watch out for her then”
The dog made a whimpering sound and scurried out of the room.
My aunt’s head returned to its not Cocked state and she cooed
“ Yes yes… she has such an unquenchable thirst for blood its amazing”
I quickly went back up to my room…
-thend-
/ I Don’t remember much about that story or where exactly it was Going… (Probably 3-4 years old)
I think it had started out as an Idea I had for a movie script, then I decided to turn it into a story… but Got Bored…
It had to do with a Burned down Orphanage…
and Spider Charcoal Nuns
And Little needle teethed Burned Orphan zombie vampire children.
(literally, they don’t have teeth, so they’ve jammed sewing needles through their jaws, to Eat with)
And it had an Evil Dead Ending, (Because everything must be Desmembered to Stop)
And there was a Goddess who he Had to Kill, living in the Church part of the Orphanage…
(She wore a White dress and out from under the dress scurried little demon babies with the umbilical cord still attached and I Think they drag him under the dress screaming and into the darkness of the pit she came from)
Anyways, This is a very long post…
-The End-
