Messie

I sit here and wonder to myself, how did this come to be.  I have incredible amounts of money, so how did I end up in this crap hole of a house.   Shouldn't I be out, helping others with their problems?  Of course I should!  But no, I am here at the house cleaning Messie's mess.  How she got such a name, I wonder.  Would someone really name their child Messie? And then let her aspire to be a slob?  So I decided to confront her with her unseemly problem.  I considered inviting my friend Phil over, but I hadn't time. 
"Messie?"
"Huh" she said, and burped loudly.  I was disgusted.
"I really think you need to make change with your-"
"My what?" said Messie, clearly getting angry.  I had stopped speaking because my other roomy, Marten, had appeared and shook his head.
"Perhaps it was nothing, I forgot..." I said, then ran over to Marten.
"What?" I whispered.
"You do not want to get on her bad side, I know you're new here but I thought you would have some sense not to mess with Messie."
"There needs to be a change." I said raising my voice a bit.
"A change in what?" I heard Messie say from the other room.  The anger had returned to her voice.
"What changes?" said the twins in unison.  A creepy habit of theirs.   They were my other two roommates.
"Um, well I think Messie-"
"Should relax for the day!" cried Marten.
"What were you going to say, Oprah?" Messie seethed. "Just because you're rich you think you don't have to do dishes?"
"You never do dishes." said one of the twins, Mary? Maria? I always forgot her name.  The other one was named Joseph, I knew.
"Yeah, I have been thinking you need to pitch in a little more around here." said Joseph.
"AND WHY IS THAT!" Messie roared.  Marten cowered on the floor.  From the beginning I had known he was a pathetic man.
"Because you are a useless fool and of no use to the rest of us!" I screamed.
"Maybe we should-" Joseph started, but he got a boot to his face.  Mary/Maria was screaming then.  Suddenly the door burst open and our estranged neighbor stood in the doorway.  I had met him just a day earlier and I had immediately know something was wrong with him.
"Whats going on?" he said in a strangley high pitched voice.
"You stay out of- glach!" Messie tried but a cord had appeared around her neck. 
It was Marsha! Yep, I remembered her name.
I glanced at Joseph who was on the floor and did a double take.  His whole face was caved in.  I then looked at the struggling Messie, who was slowly weakening.  She had steel toe boots!  The puddle of blood on the living room floor terrified me.  It was an awfully large amount of blood for one person to lose.  And then I passed out.

The Larson Legacy

     When Charlotte first met Marius Showers-Bagley, she did not know her love at first sight was to become such a pit-falled path.  That her romance would soon become a tragedy.      The drama began in 9th grade of her prestigious music school, when Charlotte discovered that Marius had acquired a girlfriend.  At the time she had thought she and Marius had been dating, even though they had never voiced that assumption.  The discovery was a blow to Charlotte's self-esteem, but she retained her good-standing and continued life undeterred.  Friends of hers brought it up every once in a while, but she never let it unhinge her.  The alleged girlfriend was a rude Swedish girl named Patricia Starley.  Patricia was unbelievably hebetudinous and actually quite ugly.  No one knew what Marius saw in her.  Through all of this, Charlotte went on wishing she could have Marius, hating him and loving him at the same time.  Many...

Benjamin Franklin: Serial Killer or Oprah Winfrey: Werewolf

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN When I discovered that ten bodies, six children and four adults, were found under Benjamin Franklin's house I just had to look into it.  The bodies were found during the modern renovation of Franklin's England home.  The bodies were carbon dated to about 200 years earlier, when Benjamin lived in the house.  This was surprising to me because he always appeared as a very soft man. Officials say it was probably the doing of another man that lived in Benjamin's home.  A certain Dr. Hewson.  This man ran a prestigious anatomy school but broke away from it.  He then started a new, rival school, but not before living and and possibly working in Benjamin's home.  Benjamin's alibi is that he lived down the road during that time with his landlady.  But that could all just be an elaborate cover-up to trick small-minded, inside the box, British scientists and authorities.  Perhaps Benjamin was just an accessory? Only providing assis...

Devil’s Eye, Settlement Essay 10/24/12

        After the cataclysmic event that almost eliminated the entire world’s population it was figured that the world’s population was left at at an estimated triple digit number, lightly scattered across the globe.  Think of this as opposed to the almost 7,000,000,000 thickly spread across the Earth back before the incident.  The only option was to start over.  Luckily there were remnants of the modern world that would benefit in the rehabilitation of planet earth and the human population.  But we had to make it work. My company and I (a solemn group of less than 30) were, as if by fate, blown by storms to a large island that was once called Tasmania.  A large island for a small population just south of the better known country/continent once called Australia.  When we first arrived we had been half starved and dehydrated.  We had set off from the resource exhausted Australia in hopes of finding better land and were coming back...
