Starting point is 00:00:00 There's no place to escape to. This is the last talk. On the left. Rise above your glids. That's when the cannibalism started. What was that? The haunting of Hill House. Have you been watching this?
Starting point is 00:00:22 I'm on episode three now. I'm on episode four. I fucking love it. Yeah. This is the thing. Not so bad. So sad. Very sad. It is sad. But so sad.
Starting point is 00:00:31 I've never seen you break before. This is what's going to break your soul? No. It's the opposite. It's mostly to be like, quit with the wine or with the bent neck lady. I want her to have a fucking chainsaw or something. I know that everyone's excited
Starting point is 00:00:43 that it's exploring vulnerability, but then maybe it attacks me in a way that makes me feel vulnerable, which then means that it's effective. But at the same time, it's like, hey, I want to see some chainsaws, please. Can I just put it in a comment section? Can I give it a yelp?
Starting point is 00:00:59 I would say, I would say perhaps you should grow your heart a little bit like the Grinch, but I think you already have an enlarged heart. So don't do that. You will die. You're funny. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:01:12 This inside story is everyone. I am Ben Kissel. Henry Zabrowski somehow being said. Did you see the new Halloween, Henry? I have not seen it yet. Marcus, have you? We're watching it tonight. Okay.
Starting point is 00:01:23 Well, we have to talk about the new Halloween when everybody sees it. And everyone who is listening has to see it because I don't want to have to hold it all in. Okay. All right. Fantastic film. Marcus Parks is also joining us today.
Starting point is 00:01:34 And we have an exciting episode. It's all predicated upon you, the fan, your tales, your creepy spaghetti. That's what we're going to be reading today. Immacaba matacati. We're doing this again on Side Stories because it's fun because now we have Side Stories. It's like a sidecar filled with meat and beer.
Starting point is 00:01:51 And we're just juggling along the side of the big train in its last podcast and left. Can you feel our bodies just fucking slapping up and down as we're just rolling above the tracks? Right. Can you get drunk? Can you get drunk in a sidecar or are you getting drunk in a car as a passenger?
Starting point is 00:02:09 Shit, man. I mean, technically, it's a sidecar. It's not a seat. You're not a passenger in a passenger seat. You're in a whole different mode of transportation. I bet it's an interesting line. You might take that all the way up to the Supreme Court, buddy. And he will.
Starting point is 00:02:23 He will stand outside of the Supreme Court building yet asking loudly if it is OK that it is legal for him to drink in a sidecar. Well, Henry, now that you have a mustache, you have to get a motorcycle by law, get one with a sidecar. I will cram my body into it, and I will have a couple of BLs and see if we get pulled over.
Starting point is 00:02:42 Yeah, buddy. Hey, you know what? I got a married man mustache. I'm confident. I'm feeling sexy. I'm showing my chin. I'm showing how my face melts completely into my neck because I'm brave.
Starting point is 00:02:53 But I'm doing it for you, and I'm doing it for the Halloween season. It's a part of it. It's a part of my costume, my Halloween costume that you'll see eventually. And I'm also trying to look. I'm trying this. And when I do get a motorcycle,
Starting point is 00:03:06 it's going to be one of those little ones like the bears in Russia drive around in the circus. Like the real tiny ones with my knees up. You look like a tiny version of the red-headed guy from Walking Dead. Interesting. Thank you. Is that a thank you?

Starting point is 00:06:33 is a little bit larger I chose you guess all thank you yes I know and there's a there's an undercurrent of disdain that you have no but that is fine no big deal big Fred Mark looked after now I'm starting the story started okay big Fred big Fred I got it how big you know my how big are you does he play basketball you could also just call me Fred I have a lot of feelings I'm a real person big friends talking very cool all right Mark looked after Mark looked after elderly people and the disabled so Mark is a good guy who worked for an agency that sent him all over the city one client he would always hear stories about was
Starting point is 00:07:14 this fella named big Fred big Fred this next sentence really kind of goes you don't I you don't even really need this sentence it's kind of inferred in the term big Fred big Fred was a large man with the mind of a child kind of like blaster for master blast he had a rich family that paid the agency well Mark had never met anyone who had looked after him so he assumed only very special workers were chosen okay see one day Mark got into a petty argument with his boss the next day he was worried he might get fired so he was surprised when he got offered big Fred big Fred oh everything's going great it's easy his
Starting point is 00:07:54 boss told him it's an overnight shift just make sure he eats at 3 a.m. totally normal time to eat for big Fred Mark arrived at the mansion and checked on Fred who was lying in bed Mark watched TV until 3 a.m. and went into the bedroom to ask Fred what he wanted to eat come closer Fred said come closer Fred said no he's got a time okay okay yeah you know you know this was a commercial edition I could see the casting director we would be like stop or they're separate we love what we're doing we feel like maybe you could go for a different choice come closer we'll get this one we'll get we'll get this one
Starting point is 00:08:34 and once we get this one we can try other options come closer Fred whispered in the darkness Mark leaned in and suddenly he felt sharp teeth sink into his arm he screamed but Fred only pulled him closer Fred ate him oh oh so Mark was the meal yeah what an idiot and he was fired and he was fired I love that story thank you Alex this is you know it's not easy working taking care of the elderly nor the disabled so my hats off to those in that service industry they are heroes on a daily basis and we should honor them more absolutely I just thought you'd connect a big Fred thank you I know I yeah oh is
Starting point is 00:09:17 that what it was Henry was it because the character was big and likes to eat at three o'clock in the morning yeah okay I got one for you did this one's like let's do a true story yeah yeah this one's called vampire attack oh although I'm not sure that we should say this person's name because he said that his wife does not know the full extent of this story and she might be listening as well so I don't want I don't want to but you know put this guy on notice I want to blast him okay I like it all right this is a true story that happened to my now wife and I we were staying at a small bed and breakfast in southern Vermont for
Starting point is 00:09:57 Valentine's Day we went out to dinner at a nice restaurant came back to the room and settled in for the night deep into the night I had a very unusual dream I can count on one hand the number of wet dreams I've had in my life and most of them have been about strangers both that involve people I know have been very unsettling experiences cool in this dream I was laying on a bed in a cheap hotel and my wife was sitting across my legs sort of cowgirl style but we weren't actually having sex she was just kind of teasing me okay although it looked like her it looked like a although it looked like her it looked
Starting point is 00:10:33 like a goth version of her she was wearing a full fishnet body stocking black lipstick and had a bunch of ear and facial piercings cool after after teasing me for a bit she got angry and stormed out of the room I followed her out onto the street and watched her walk away into the distance at that point I woke up with the painfully hard erection I often wake up with morning wood yep but this was seriously the hardest I'd ever been I was laying there debating whether to sneak off to the bathroom to take care of it what what does that mean when they go big dump slam it with a toilet lid a couple times
Starting point is 00:11:22 so it goes away I was debating on whether to take care of it but my wife sat bolt upright gasping for breath after I calmed her down she told me she had a nightmare that a girl with black hair was crouching over her and strangling her this sent a chill down my spine I turned a light and the TV on and talked to her until she calmed down and fell asleep the reason I felt a chill is that I'm very interested in the supernatural and what had just happened to us strongly reminded me of some of the stories I've read about early American vampires much like witches early New Englanders very much believed in vampires but not the
Starting point is 00:12:03 Anne Rice type of vampire hmm they believed that a vampire was the restless spirit of a dead person who stole life from the living slowly sickening them and eventually killing them the vampire would come into your room while you slept and crouch on your chest making it hard for you to breathe the more this happened the sicker you would get until the vampire finally killed you and moved on to another victim the house we were staying in was constructed in the 1770s firmly in the time that vampire stories were spreading around New England and the next morning the owner admitted when another guest questioned her that the
Starting point is 00:12:41 building was haunted oh although she didn't describe any vampire attacks I was worried about the spirit following his home so I made very certain to not leave anything in the rooms that belong to us just cut him driving in a zigzag pattern you would never catch me bad my wife is already very afraid of ghosts so I've never told her the full story of what happened that night you know lies are never good for a relation no no no no lies build resentment yes next time I'm looking into a romantic getaway I'll be looking a little deeper than the Yelp review and that's why we've gone to sandals for the past 10 years a ghost
Starting point is 00:13:27 cannot arrive in a place where you're literally not allowed to wear shoelaces but you have full Victorian wear at some point I love that story because I get it yeah absolutely what do you what what part of it do you get the most is it the waking up with a you know what well yeah that's I do feel like it's a part of when like Natalie's out of town just me and Wendy in the bed is that now she no longer cuddles on me she sleeps at the end of the bed if Wendy could talk okay I'm not trying to do anything oh okay so I have this I'm gonna go a little bit more intense with this one this is written by Jared Rand it is called
Starting point is 00:14:08 behind closed doors ooh day three thousand six hundred and fifty today marks the tenth year of me locking myself down in this bunker hooray I sit down on the couch in the living room with a bowl of stale cereal I've been saving for this anniversary I ran out of dehydrated milk years ago so I have to deal with eating it dry but after ages of eating vitamins meal supplements and whatever produce I can manage to grow this is a welcome treat I flick on the TV and switch it over from my computer screen to the satellite dish normally nothing shows up but sometimes there'll be a rogue signal of an episode of cheers I don't
Starting point is 00:14:48 have downloaded today however was different I mean cheers is a great thing to watch in a bunker because it never fails to bring a smile to the face well speaking of crying while watching though I mean that the end of cheers is heartbreaking it is you know really defeats it if you just have six or seven beers well during then you just smile and you remember your memories yep then you go from that you go from Ted dancing to norm by the end of it today however was different every channel was broadcasting the same exact video of a mushy old man standing on a stage in front of a murmuring crowd today's days
Starting point is 00:15:22 folks after ten long years we finally get to reveal the winner of the worldwide hide-and-go-seek competition the man says arms pumping in the air voice echoing through the loudspeakers the crowd erupts into cheers and applause I laugh at the ridiculousness of all this a hide-and-seek competition I don't remember any competition like that way back in 2018 who will be the winner of the hundred million dollar grand prize ladies and gentlemen I hope you're ready when the clock strikes noon the curtain will fall and reveal the victor counter down with me folks 30 29 28 30 30 30 30 it's a lot of build a giant screen above a
Starting point is 00:16:07 huge curtain mounted down counted on the seconds 18 17 16 the crowd continued something my gut told me this wasn't right how is it possible I didn't hear about this 10 9 8 I put my bowl on the table and focus on the screen the announcer looks so familiar I swear I know him but from where six five four my chest started knotting up I stood up and walk closer to the TV I had an itching feeling I knew who was under that curtain three two one the curtain disconnected from the top and tumble down revealing a giant photo of myself from ten years ago spark streamers and balloons shot up from above the crowd
Starting point is 00:16:50 congratulations may have it you have won the grand prize of one hundred million dollars the man said all right god damn it fuck I screamed it ticked over the table into the wall all you have to do to claim your winnings is to come out of hiding me there will be a huge party in your honor the announcer shouted over the sound of the crowds up or I can't believe I thought that this was a genuine broadcast it's really that simple baby girl just open the bunker door and step out into this nice bright sunshine I realize where I know him from it's been so long since I've actually seen his face that I almost couldn't recognize him
Starting point is 00:17:29 it's my father open the door may see the sunlight his voice now cold and commanding the crowd silent I stare at the TV fists clenched a fire raging inside of my chest after all these years I've blocked them out of my mind I try to forget what happened ten years ago to ignore that constant screaming just outside the bunker to ignore the slamming and knocking on the heavy steel door to ignore how my friends and family are paraded around like puppets to manipulate me into going outside how every person outside this bunker isn't even human they're not people anymore not even close may open the fucking door
Starting point is 00:18:09 open the fucking door dad shouts as loud as he can his voice cracking in his face turning red from the strain spittle flies out of his mouth with every word he shouts over the sounds of the crowd screaming the same I cover my ears I can't listen to this open the fucking door open the fucking door open the fucking I punched the TV as hard as I can the screen tumbles to the ground and goes black but that awful noise still pours out of it I punch and I punch and I punch until my knuckles are dripping with blood the bunker is quiet but outside I can still hear the screams commanding me to open the door tears
Starting point is 00:18:46 well up in my eyes I curl up on the floor and sob into my blood-stained carpet I can't go outside I would change too I need to keep that door locked to keep the sunlight out that's what happens when your dad is Richard Dawson always having a game show going on I was having a game show look at that all right spooky tail indeed so it's kind of creatures outside reminds me of a quiet place yeah that was a great great horror very good very quiet John Krasinski definitely did not completely dough-faced fucking up like he did all the stupid all this horrible the Patriot television yeah but you're just

Starting point is 00:24:06 I see what you're doing there but you're doing it wrong this is how you want to do it I can see you're over there you're trying to eat a person yet it's fine if you want to do it like that if you want to eat a person like that it's fine but you know there's a better way to do it I do it but first of all I gotta go to my cabin in my cottage I gotta be up there for five or six days a week and then I can come back for that one day a week and teach you how to eat them better I will say I don't like the idea of a Canadian cryptid because I don't like a cryptid that apologizes I just assumed the Wendigo especially when they don't
Starting point is 00:24:37 apologize to me when you're eating me just eat me don't it because I know you're not sorry cuz you're not really sorry you're not sorry never sorry all right that ladies and gentlemen is a little insight into our hidden resentment of one bartender yes one bartender in Canada and that weird cab driver who just ate cherries pits and all for 30 minutes still ways not want not I saw another dude this is another thing I'm this is not this is not slam Canada segment but it was a man in a maple leaf shirt at Disney World I swear to God was did that thing where he was fully washing his face at his bathroom in at
Starting point is 00:25:19 the bathroom in Disney World the big public about this wash in his face he takes off his shirt he washes his chest so this is not a grey-owned bus station his world then he proceeds to spit into his own hands and look at it like it going just and daising into it like his eyeballs have little fucking microscopes in them so that he could see like a jeweler's glass on and then wash his hands and went back to the fucking gen pop in the middle of Disney World maybe he was looking for blood or yikes this and that I got up next it is from Tanner Paulson it's called thin arm very nice the night it started I woke
Starting point is 00:26:10 up in a panic I heard a single knock on my bedroom door I live alone I called out but got no response I sat up all night watching the door but another knock never came the second night I locked my door before I went to bed and somehow I was able to fall asleep again I was awoken by a single knock I sat up and looked at the door eyes wide as I watched too terrified to say anything the lock turned followed by the doorknob the door creaked open a few inches and I saw a hand rise over the top of my door it had eight spindly fingers with long grey nails it waved at me for almost five minutes it stopped suddenly before it
Starting point is 00:27:02 slithered its way up and over the door into my room now coming over the top of my door was a long thin pale arm it reached all the way down to the floor after hanging there for a few minutes it lifted up and waved at me again it then pointed at me then at the doorknob back at me the doorknob me the doorknob the thin arms eight-fingered spider-like hand lay flat with its palm up it curled its fingers repeatedly into its palm it was beckoning me I couldn't move couldn't speak I could hardly breathe then it held its arm up as of checking watch it waved me again and slithered back up and over the top of my door the door closed
Starting point is 00:27:58 and locked behind it for the third night I installed a bolt lock this thing whatever ghastly creature was attached to that thin arm could somehow unlock my door I hoped it couldn't do the same to the bolt unfortunately it could oh after hearing the knock I had never fallen asleep the bolt unlatched itself just after that the door unlocked and creaked open a few inches the arms slithered its way in and waved to me before pointing from me to the knob it beckoned me to the door once again before falling in my floor for three hours it drummed its fingers on the wooden floor I was too terrified to do anything at all except
Starting point is 00:28:40 stare I occasionally looked at the clock wishing that the morning would come the arm eventually slithered its way out of my room the door closed and locked and so did the bolt I slept for a couple of hours before my alarm went off I knew I had to do something I had to deal with whatever this thing was on the fourth night I didn't lock the door I waited in front of it pistol in hand as soon as I heard the knock I flung the door open in front of me was nothing but an empty dark hallway there was nothing there at all was it done with me had I held out for long enough had it moved on to torture somebody else no I laid back
Starting point is 00:29:19 down in the bed and almost drifted off to sleep when I heard and felt a knock from beneath my bed I opened my eyes but didn't move I saw the arm lifting in the air above me coming from under my bed it waved just like it always did it padded me lightly on the head yes yes good sleeping boy yes I wanted to scream but I couldn't I wanted to get up and run away but I couldn't the arm wrapped around me I was suddenly overcome with exhaustion I fell asleep until my alarm went off as I opened my eyes the arm lifted up waved to me and went back under my bed I got up and jumped as far off my bed as I could and I ran into the
Starting point is 00:29:58 hall I got in the shower and noticed scratches all over my stomach and chest they weren't deep enough to draw blood but they stung when the hot water hit them luckily I had clothes in the dryer and didn't have to go back to my room I got ready for work and walked out to my car I heard a knock just as I was getting into it it was coming from my bedroom window which was right above my driveway the eight-fingered hand was there waving I never went back to my house that night I rented a hotel room anxious to get a good night's rest I slept well that night however when I woke up and walked into the bathroom I
Starting point is 00:30:33 saw deep scratches on my chest they weren't random scratches like from the night before there were words jaggedly carved into me I looked out at the bed and noticed that the blankets and sheets were covered in dried blood I looked back into the mirror and reread what it said you let me in you can't leave me I can't leave you no matter where I sleep on the couch in my car even in my office the arm is there after a few days of trying out new places to sleep I awoke to find a new message carved into me sleep in your bed or I will make it so you never wake now I lie awake every night until I hear the knock
Starting point is 00:31:08 from under my bed the arm waves and then wraps around me I fall asleep right after it goes back under my bed in the morning I always notice fresh scratches on my chest and stomach as I shower often they're on my legs and arms too just the other night I saw teeth marks on my shoulder whatever is under my bed more than just its arm is coming out when I sleep I warn you if you hear a single knock on your bedroom door don't open it when the arm slithers its way over the top of your door try your best to ignore it put your pillow over your head hide under the covers and wait for it to go I'm not sure if it'll leave you
Starting point is 00:31:43 for good but it's better to leave it at your door above all hope and pray that the thin arm with its eight-fingered hand doesn't knock at all yeah honestly though I gotta say it's kind of Adams family you can have your own little thing there but they've got an arm well I know it's an arm thing it maybe it's maybe thing as a baby maybe that's a thing's father maybe it is I mean a finger blasted a just a floating pussy I have no idea how arm intercourse works but I would say it's kind of nice you go to bed with the Cobra clutch every night it seems like all you I mean other than the scratches I would say
Starting point is 00:32:26 can you not scratch me so much please don't scratch don't stop scratch stop scratching messages leave a pen and paper next to the table maybe I use a pen and paper hey I know that you're disembodied arm from some hell dimension but let's get a tablet so this is scary only because it there's there's a there's a scariness to this true story that something about it I don't know what it is it's kind of got an uncanny valley feeling to it feeling to it it's my Allison Kenan Frink the man in the corner when I was a kid I would go to my parents room at night to sleep in their bed this drove them crazy of course but
Starting point is 00:33:12 I insisted my mom would always asking why I wanted to sleep with them and my answer was always the same I had a bad dream this was a lie I didn't have bad dreams I had bad wake-ups I would wake up in the middle of the night and be afraid to open my eyes because I knew what I would see I knew he would be sitting there in the corner of my room on top of my desk when I finally got up to courage to glance over I was always terrified I was always also right you was short about four four and a half feet tall he had a thin pointy beard and wore a wide brim hat with the feather in it he never said anything and never
Starting point is 00:33:53 moved it just sat there looking at me in smiling like some sort of creepy little leprechaun the worst part was that I got no relief he followed me to my grandparents house and even to a friend slumber party my grandmother's he would just sit on their hamper next to the door I would close my eyes and run out of the room crying terrified that he would grab me at the party I was so afraid that I pulled my sleeping bag up over my head and I peed myself then one day after years of torment it just stopped this time went on it convinced myself that had maybe I'd been dreaming all those times and this was just silly
Starting point is 00:34:36 schoolgirl fears and then one summer I was home from college my mom and I were up late talking and somehow got into the topic of scary shit my mom says yeah when I was a kid I was always afraid that Rumpel still skin was gonna get me I used to think he was sitting in my room watching me sleep I apparently turned pale cuz my mom started to freak out asking me what was wrong so I told her I told her what the years of my torment by my leprechaun I told her about that hat his beard his creepy little grin my mother started crying she had no idea she too had convinced herself that it had all been a dream we sat there crying
Starting point is 00:35:16 and hugging each other asking questions we couldn't answer like why had this happened to us and why were we the only ones and last night I woke up it was my daughter crying again she said that she had a bad dream rumpel still skin is back rumpel still skin in the house what that now rumpel still skin what was his whole thing he would he would do something rumpel still skin is he wanted the the gold gold right yeah to spin the hair from the gold and then he would get the daughter he was horny and he was horny he we had the same fucking me and rumpel still skin had the same goals we want money and
Starting point is 00:35:54 we wanted a hot wife that was I don't know what's that I don't know if that was rumpel still skins go many fucking eyes of the prize man he knew exactly what he did he do like spider webs did he do like he's like the goal is gold and then he just spider webbed out and figured out how to get it who's that like the color what color is your parachute is that you read that we've gone over this this is from when we did the iceman episodes I read that business book called what color is your parachute and mine is still dookie brown that's very good okay this one comes in from a fella his name is Kyle Peters and I really like
Starting point is 00:36:33 this but this is a scary one all right and the next one I want to read is gonna be a little bit more light-hearted okay okay but this one's truly scary also just think about this you was thinking about the leprechaun one imagine a little man just showed up in your room like how terrible like we joke about it being seeing a leprechaun but if you actually saw a leprechaun in your room you'd have to go to a mental institution I don't know man because again I just feel like you can be friends with it don't take its gold no leprechauns are notoriously greedy yes but I don't know if you don't mess with
Starting point is 00:37:04 it like for example the leprechaun if no one ever messed with it it would just be a little buddy are they greedy or are they thrifty I see haha interesting interesting is it about money management or is it about wanting every piece of gold that you can get your hands on well no they don't want any more my understanding of leprechaun solely from the leprechaun series is he just wants his 100 pieces of gold yeah no more no less that's right just don't mess with it so in that way I would say thrifty not greedy all right okay all right this one comes in from a fellow his name is Kyle Peters and it begins daddy daddy now

Starting point is 00:50:15 the bar had been a bakery for three generations before the fire the hole had been the mouth of the bread oven now it was just a pitch black breach in the brick basement wall that nobody had ever bothered to seal a pipe dripped condensation mice scratched in the wall another bottle clinked into the box just rat shit and ash in there she said hell he had a restaurant a manager at show needs said that just rat shit Nash in the hole that's where we keep our beef that's what she said dismissing him as she wiped perspiration from her neck let's go waves of bodies pitched voices bumping music the night wore on things
Starting point is 00:51:06 ebbed it too so she cut the bar back he had a shift drink they chatted he left now it was witching hour dollar off beers but eager patrons drummed their fingers on the bar and waited where was the bartender she stood alone in the basement sweating back to the room hands on either side of the hole staring into the dark unable to say exactly why she wiped her forehead stood on her tip toes squinted into the cave-like blackness how deep did it go she put her head in there was stillness quiet dry air that carried just a whisper of yeast upstairs some patrons waited others walked away resigned stories jokes
Starting point is 00:51:55 lamentations flirtations all continued throbbing dripping desire warm and wet pouring sloppily from mouths spilling onto the floor meanwhile inside the hole there was nothing endless nothing blackness flat simple cool the further in she crawled the more she found peace and the distance behind her the holes mouth the basement was just a pinhole of light now soon there was breath alongside hers and whispers we are not strangers here she curled up in the dark in the peace head resting in the crook of her arm and waited for sleep cool sounds kind of peaceful yeah go wherever one knows my name yeah the big

Starting point is 00:54:00 route till it feels wrong I took out 58 Main Street because it's where Mrs. Knight lives and I really want to get away with it and not get caught it's two weeks from Halloween I pick up my costume I don't put too much effort into it I want something I can dump quickly so I settle for a black cape and ghoul mask doesn't really look scary in fact it looks pretty stupid but that's what I like about it I stopped doing the dry runs as Halloween got closer I got a bus and walked a little bit then bought my supplies from a shop I'm pretty certain nobody I know will use I wore a baseball cap and pulled it down to cover
Starting point is 00:54:32 my face just to be sure I got a full shop so not to draw attention to the eggs and toilet paper and other stuff I got doubts about the big day my stomach was in flips all morning almost forgot about doing it but next year I'll be 13 and then I'll be too old to get away with trick-or-treating the stomach flips kind of felt good as well I sat through school made fake promises to meet my friends and hang out my dad mom or in when I get in and asked me what I'm doing and I tell them I'm probably just gonna go around the bills or maybe just stay home and play fortnight child stuff I don't I don't know what fortnight is

Starting point is 00:56:12 he's really angry and he's shouting and swearing I do it one more time this time he's waiting and he tries to grab me but I'm too quick I run away and I'm howl God this is gonna be better than I expected I was gonna leave until like the fourth house of my mischief route mischief route before I did the real thing but I can't wait I'm too hyper and excited I get the eggs out of my backpack my aim is brilliant I hit the Mercedes right in the windscreen the next to hit the car as well to top it off the second eggs a double yoker then I get that's a big one then I get the living room window that grabs her
Starting point is 00:56:44 attention she's up and out of the house and she looks at her car and she sees me with the eggs I have never seen anybody so angry her face is bright red spittle is coming out of the corners of her mouth she's up in my face and she slapped the egg box out of my hands then she slaps me in the face it's really hard it stings my cheek I can feel tears running down my face she's marching me into her house she's telling me she's ringing the police as the door shuts behind me I'm so excited I can barely think earlier in the year George showed me this ISIS video I felt funny looking at the blood but like a good funny and
Starting point is 00:57:21 that's when the idea came to me I tried other things like cutting myself and that was fine for a bit but then it just wasn't enough this was a lot better there was so much of it I splashed against my skin got into my mouth and tasted gorgeous like copper she was dead but that didn't stop me I kept at her body for a while then I tried to use the knife to saw off her head I tried really hard I got halfway through her neck when the knife snapped screamed and frustration and got a glimpse of myself in her hallway mirror I managed to get control myself I put my costume into a plastic bag then I put it back
Starting point is 00:57:55 into my backpack I ran out of there laughing I didn't think anybody saw me and I was beyond caring I jogged for a little bit then I took out my phone and rang bill through the plastic bag with my costume and the big bins out the back of the asda spent the night playing FIFA and I kept seeing her body and giggling at myself Bill kept asking me what was funny and saying how cool my makeup look how realistic it was I can't wait for next Halloween maybe I don't have to Yikes bill get out of there go hang out with George smoke stokies my god very interesting all right the first the to the first of all I mean

Starting point is 01:05:24 I'm using awkwardly type out this document the official record of the sad ending to one short life the voice to text functionality on this laptop isn't particularly useful since my broken jaw is still wired tightly shut from the accident and all the medications tend to make my speech slurred there's a real pain in the ass and I feel ridiculous but this won't take very long I assure you I intend to keep it brief frankly I don't have the energy nor the desire to tell this story in great detail so I'm afraid you'll have to settle for the short version here I think you'll find that to be enough it was a Friday night
Starting point is 01:06:00 just three weeks ago and I was driving home from work in the pouring rain when I got a call from my friend Adam inviting me to meet up with him and some of his friends from work in an Irish pub near his office in White Plains I was tired as hell and really just wanted to get home to relax for the night I also knew some of Adam's co-workers who would likely be there and not all of them were my idea of a good time so I hedged a bit at first as usual Adam told me I had to quote-unquote move on and quote-unquote get out there to begin the long slow process of healing emotionally and putting Allison behind me I assured him
Starting point is 01:06:37 that my deceased fiance had nothing to do with it I was just tired from a long work week and the weather was lousy the couch in my living room was calling for me and the next game was set to tip off in less than an hour okay and they're having a pretty good season so far pretty good I didn't explain that the twice weekly therapy sessions I have been quietly attending for the last two months were starting to help me come to terms with my guilt over Allison's drug overdose at the New Year's Eve party in Atlantic City six months ago the most tragic event of my entire life garnered some brief
Starting point is 01:07:13 attention in our local news at the time because it fit in neatly with the national opioid epidemic that is currently making headlines all across America Scarsdale's daughter's doctor dies of oxy overdose they say fear sells newspapers and evidently this story was scary because it had the whole it could happen to you angle fuck those newspapers it did happen to me anyway I figured I'd tell Adam about my therapy sessions soon enough I wasn't embarrassed it just wasn't something that I enjoyed talking about but Adam was a lifelong friend who would do anything for me and I've rarely kept any secrets from him so
Starting point is 01:07:49 despite the lousy weather and my desire to just get home and kick my feet up for the night I decided to stop by the pub to have a few beers besides I knew I had nothing to eat in the fridge at home so I figured I could chow down a burger and watch the first half of the Knicks game and then head on home in time for the second half I remembered asking Adam what time he was planning to get there just as I was merging onto I-95 and suddenly there was a tremendous flash of light and a violent explosion that consumed my entire world when I woke sometime later I was lying in a hospital bed floating in and out of
Starting point is 01:08:23 consciousness on a heavy cocktail of narcotics that had been pumped into my veins to alleviate intense pain I learned later that somehow the sleep-deprived long-haul truck driver who hit me didn't just run right over my little sports car and I'm a net miraculously survived what probably should have been a fatal accident laying there in the operating room I remember that I couldn't really feel my left leg and I was trying to explain this concern to a nurse when the head surgeon arrived at this point I was lucid enough to be able to see the people moving around me and understand some of the words they were saying from
Starting point is 01:08:56 behind their light blue surgical masks as they hurried about dutifully attending to their myriad tasks at some point I also noticed their deference to the tall man who walked quietly among them asking short clipped questions in a detached fashion when he finally stood over me and stared down into my face I recognized the eyes above his mask but could not place them then he spoke and I knew who my surgeon was I think we're ready he said for everyone in the room to hear then he leaned down and in a near whisper meant just for me said you have no idea how happy I am to see you here tonight Sean he quickly moved away
Starting point is 01:09:35 and from the other side of the bed an anesthesiologist leaned in and asked me to follow his fingertip with my eyes he began to count backwards from 10 while slowly moving his index finger back and forth before my face I tried to say something I think I even tried to scream but my world quickly went dark and I learned what happened next when I awoke in the hospital bed the next day with both of my arms and legs amputated the deeply sad and remorseful hospital administrator and the somewhat more detached and stoic attorney who accompanied her to my bedside could offer no logical reason why the surgeon
Starting point is 01:10:08 who had operated on me had unnecessarily removed my limbs nor why he had returned to his office to take his own life with a legal injection immediately afterwards she did explain to me that he had lost his only daughter about six months earlier and apparently he had suffered a severe mental break that day they hadn't put it all together yet and I didn't bother to tell her that I needed no explanation I just laid there with my eyes closed waiting for them to leave at Allison's funeral I could see that her father was a broken man when he refused to shake my hand to speak with me I knew that he would never forgive me
Starting point is 01:10:41 for what had happened to his only child we hadn't come in contact with one another since that gray day at the cemetery but a random series of events delivered me right to his ER that rainy Friday night and he took full advantage of the opportunity that presented itself to be honest I had completely forgotten that he was a surgeon a doctor from Scarsdale to be exact maybe this was all meant to be maybe this is the price I was destined to pay for Allison's life I don't know the universe works in strange ways but now I'm just waiting for Adam to get here when he does I'll tell him what happened then I'll tell
Starting point is 01:11:17 him that I have no desire to live this way not for one more day remember how I said that Adam was an old friend who would do anything for me I suppose I'll soon find out the truth of that what good is it to have friends if you can't rely on them when you need them but I'm not worried I trust Adam I know it'll be tough for him and I might have to paint a pretty stark and brutal picture to illustrate what life will be like for me as a once active and athletic 26 year old who is now quadruple amputee but I'm pretty sure that he'll come through for me in the end after all what are friends for cool yeah I mean I gotta say
Starting point is 01:11:57 stick around though because they're making all the technology now you'll just be a cyborg stick around yeah there's some cool stuff yeah don't don't just don't just end it all with it it's only been a week it's honestly we're gonna get skeletons it's gonna work out we're gonna figure this shit out I mean I swear to God I was watching there was a real sports thing on the WLM double amputees with the legs you know that you they got these they got these things now they put on the feet they're faster than ever my god my goodness yeah man and faster than me and I'm the fastest man within 10 feet I know all
Starting point is 01:12:30 right so this is my final one all right this is goes out to the fans I'm certain by Michael Cahill Cahill and I think you'll like it Kessel okay the secret ingredient the lights in the boardroom were flickering subtly despite the you're right puffing farted the lights in the boardroom were flickering subtly despite the ominous lighting the meeting continued on so agreed that by May 2008 our new creation will be on the shelves of every major grocery and liquor store in the country the gathered the gathered executives not at an agreement murmuring among themselves at their plan long in preparation was
Starting point is 01:13:14 finally seeing the light of day to a round of applause from the gathered executives Budweiser CEO Carlos Brito triumphantly announced Bud Light Lime will be our best-selling beverage of all time no sometimes later after the executives of the meeting had gone home to their mansions of their sport cars Brito stayed behind he enjoyed in roaming the darkened halls of the company's main brewery in fact it was only at times like these that he could visit the company's secret beer lab to inspect the specimen 2008 had been a tough year for Budweiser the financial crisis had cut into their profits even
Starting point is 01:13:50 a recession people have to drink but they didn't want to drink Budweiser Bud Light Lime would change all of that Brito hoped in fact he had pinned his future on the beverage's success if Bud Light Lime flopped when it hit shelves next week he would be sunk ah finally murdered Brito as he came up to the secret beer lab he swiped his key card the door swung open into the darkness as Brito stepped into the doorway the automated lights kicked on and the door shut behind him how are we feeling this evening said Brito to the now illuminated lab against the far wall was a large slender creature from a distance that
Starting point is 01:14:30 resembled a very tall very thin man the creature did not like the fluorescent lights and struggled against its restraints to break free and return to the blessed darkness now now now don't you struggle said Brito calmly to the creature we don't want you damaging that precious thick cock of yours in addition to the restraints holding the creature's arms and legs around its waist was a metal contraption holding it tight against the wall at the end of the waist contraption was a tube attached to the large throbbing head of the creature's penis it's almost time for you to shine slender man
