a JM morning....the scarier side*word intensive* v.scary words
its going..........rather disturbing...
what i'm about to show you will evoke this emotion in you
so this morning was like any other morning, i woke up around like 6:31:04 and i was all yawning and stuff. of course seriously who gets out of bed as soon as they wake up... i know i don't. and if you do... there is something wrong with you. but i put a smile on my face and decided that there was no better way to start my day than with anime and a smile(it would have been coke and a smile but seriously who does drugs that early in the morning
) so i'm watching and i hear this sound coming from my bathroom...(ellipsis)
i venture out of my warm bed under the heat of my laptop running @ eleventy megabitbytes a moment and cautiously approach the land of running water. well to my disbelief nothing had fallen, everything was in its place.
the car magazines were neatly stacked according to year, articles, relevance, and asian model hotness. the towels were stacked and rolled,
the toilet paper was crisp, soft and put so the paper faces out and over instead of that communist in and underthe toothpaste squeezed from the back and not the middle. nothing was out of place... but still i felt that there was something watching me.
i went back to watching my anime
(its a very scary, thriller one and a mind bender with a twist Higurashi no Kaku koro Ni for those who are interested A+ 7 stars jm approved) and then i heard it again....
i ignored it, it was almost like a faint drumming noise or something. but no one in my neighborhood is barely awake let alone playing the drums and how come i can hear it originating from in my bathroom and not through the window by my bed?the drumming sound got louder and more frequent. thinking to myself that perhaps it was the shower dripping water on the floor below i got up yet again to investigate.
this time... there was definately something different.
the shower curtain was open instead of closed like i left it a moment ago. 1 of the towels has gently been unraveled onto the floor neatly and all laid out. the toothpaste has a single dimple in the middle of the tube. the shower was completely off... i backed away from the door slowly surveying the room with my eyes to hopefully find some conclusion or answers as to what was happening to me. was i going crazy, was there something in my room with me? i couldn't quite place it but i realized that there was definately something in that small room of baths.
Frantically i dashed across the room for the nearest object that could be used to keep whatever invader had entered my house @ bay.... a pillow..? no too soft and cuddly. Bentley wheel?! no too heavy and burdensome...if i had to get in close i'd be done for in an instant... come on jm think. i remember that i had hidden a yo yo from the loli in a drawer across the room, and there was also picture of the tokyo skyline that i could use as a shield. not i needed a sword or sorts.... AH HA! that strut bar! in a dash i raced across the room while keeping a watchful eye on the doorway to make sure my attacker did not give chase.
As i meditated on the battle ahead of me into a familiar territory against unknown forces with unfathomable strength i prayed, "kamisama, give me the strength to vanquish my enemies swiftly and emerge victorious from my battles in order to live another day." with that i opened my eyes and started taking timid steps toward the entrance to what would be my battlefield. the lines all on gave me a small bit of reassurance that i would have at least the advantage of full sight and hopefully see my enemy in the event that they revealed too much of themself prior to the ambush. 3 steps to the door, i paused contemplating my assault. would i rush in to battle screaming with the voice of 1000 soldiers in hopes to scare my attacker into submission before a single blow could be struck? should i proceed with cautious and use my stealth to my advantage, from the cover of my shield i was sure that i could remain hidden for those precious moments longer.
the drip thud sound came again...the lights flickered slightly. but why? the house was stable electrically, the bulbs were all brand new... like a scene from the grudge i watched as something seemed to be fabricated from nothing before my very eyes. my vision blurred, sweat dripping down my face, the lights blinked on and off... as if i was drunk or hallucenating i saw a shadow on the floor. but there was nothing there, it was note worthy that i could say this object had mass, it was simply a dark circle no... oval. it had no features of that it was clearly there for one sole purpose.
to kill me.
i rolled back against the forward wall, the world seemed to go numb, no sound, no feeling, just an eerie silence before the terror that would become my world in mere moments if i didn't do something quickly. i watched the wall before me seem to melt away to reveal a mirror or something, what was happening to me, i realized i was soaked to the bone with sweat, my eyes stung as if i had been staring into the sun for days. think think think this will be over in moments if you don't do something, forcing myself to regain control of the situation i slowly rolled my head around the door frame, eyes wide with terror, struggling to control my breathing i saw it.
the orb that had once been but a shadow filling my floor with mal-content was not a solid mass. no features could be seen, but it was extruding evil, i could feel the energy pulsing around it into the air. It was thick and vile tasting there was only one thing to do...charge it and remove its presence from my house on way or another. With one final breath and a thank you to my life from God, i rushed in. Screaming, shield in place, arm rasied high with my make shift sword, i ran...as fast as i could and before i knew it i was upon it,
with a leap into the air i drove my arm downward as hard as i could, the blood flowing through my veins burned as it reached critical levels of pressure, my muscles tense for the impact. Boom i strike it with a fury that i've never felt before, the sweat drops fall from my body like rain on a summers evening, time slows, freezing the moment as if to see how long i could hold the beast at bay. when i realized that i was suspended in the air... the drops on the floor weren't crystal clear drops of salted water. but blood. it had gotten the first blow, i looked down to reveal my strut bar hovering inches above the mass. My body ached, it was as though i had been run through with a sword, and bludged with a hammer in the head. i winced in pain, struggling not to cry out and give my attacker the satisfaction of first bloods cry. My vision became cloudy again, no no i can't black out! not now! this is NOT over! i opened my eyes wider to reveal my attackers true form. I screamed! my renewed bravado had become rage and hate. i beat the object again and again, uncaring that i had not landed a single blow on it, my body writhed with pain i cried out and forced myself out of the room. upon looking back there was nothing there. no shadow, no blood, no shiveveled battlefield. not even a towel out of place! i paniced. no...no whats happening. it was real! i wasn't imagining it, this really did happen. i couldn't find my strut bar.... it was hanging on my wall. i reached for my shield...in the other room still adorned with lights as if i was starring @ the night sky in japan. the yo yo! it must be there! its been in my pocket this whole time! it was the first item i grabbed! i can still feel it in my pocket, i thrust my hand into my pocket only to stop the moment it arrived...
what i felt wasn't the yo yo. it was round... it was warm...but it wasn't the yo yo.
i could feel something wriggling around my fingers. it was slimy, i could feel it feeling out my hands features, searching for the perfect chance to strike. could i risk bringing my hand out and aggrivating something so close to me with my hand in its clutches? i couldn't just leave it there... my mind raced with options on my plan of escape. without a moment to spare i squeezed it with all my might, ripped it out of my pocket, and threw it across the room! my hand hurt from the force of my squeezing the object... it was the shadow figure again, i ran towards it instead of away this time, by the time i caught up to it it was on the rebound from hitting the door. round house kick to the ground and i began stomping it with all my force, finally! i had made contact!
this was it! i was winning! i would be rid of the terror that has cursed my morning and assaulted my dreams....dreams? wait i look back to my bed to find it all made up... i didn't make my bed. i look in the bathroom...perfect. i step back from the orb to reveal that i've stomped so long and furiously that i had left an indentation and wear spot in the carpet. i'm losing my mind! help me! anyone! hello?! the room is closing in on me, the world is spinning. God no, whats happening to me.!??!
I jump up and fall out of bed. i frantically search my body to make sure that i'm all together. the sheets are soaked with sweat, the time is 6:30:01. i look around for evidence that something has happened in the room, nothing. its quiet and the world is still sleeping. i get up from the floor and rush to the bathroom. nothing there, phew. i search the pillows, bedding, towels, bathroom, sitting room... nothing. there is nothing there but nothingness.... i sigh a breath of relief. then i hear it. *thud*....*thud*....*thud*....my eyes grow wide in disbelief... no it can't be... i checked. there's nothing there....*thud*....*thud*....*thud*.... i can feel fears grip taking hold of my chest as my breaths become short and pressured. my hair stands on end... no.... no.... no... god please no... i run to the bathroom fists clenched and ready to stop the hellish nightmare before it begins, sliding on the tile i rush in only to stop in my tracks as my vision escapes me... oh god headrush no! i got over excited! *thud*....*thud*....*thud*.... i struggle to stay conscious and awake. *thud*....*thud*....i put my hand on the wall to stand up straight..when it hits me. look in the shower again.. thats where the sound is coming from... i rip back the curtain. *thud*....*thud*....*thud*.... sigh its just the shower dripping water. but as i'm already soaked and getting ready for the day with my adrenaline having decimated any bit or hopes of sleep i had for regaining my sanity i turned on the bath. my mind was weary and i was getting a headache. nothing like a hot bath to relax in and just let the mornings terrors melt away...
i eased into the bath, the water felt good on my stinging muscles. i sank deeper into the waater just relaxing and freeing my mind. i sink lower until my ears are submerged under the refreshing liquid.....*thud*....it twitch in the water, and then laugh to myself, really jm just letting your imagination get the better of you... i sit up in the water to just lean back in relax when i suddenly become aware of something resting on my chest... my eyes still closed i feel around, perhaps the soap or the wash cloth or something... my hands grab the object. *hmm* cold? hard plastic? OMG no.
