Sept. 9, 2014

I've been absent for a while.  My parents moved into the area.  They are both getting up in the years so I've been busy helping them move heavy items and climb ladders.  Then the things in Ferguson, MO started happening.  I live close.  The images that came to me at night were very dark at times.  Some demons will never see the light of day.

These thoughts and images which come to me, they are not a latent impulse on my part.  I want to make that clear.  They are just images, snippets of random movies floating through my brain. 

Here's the back log:
A woman is driving down a road, it is raining, when she losses control and falls over the steep side.  The car catches fire, burning her immediately.  She makes her way out of the car and rolls in the mud to put out the flames.  The mud is special, and after months of recovery she finds she has super-human powers.  (They ain't all scary.)

My mother has a stroke at dinner and I don't know what to do.

A man breaks into a family's home and robs them, taking their small son as insurance they won't follow him out of the house or try to fight.  His intention is to drop the kid off at the end of the long drive before making his clean get-away.  As he is letting the child out of the car a semi turns the corner going to fast.  It slams into the car, killing the child and severely injuring the man.  As he comes to he realizes he is surrounded by the family.  The mother holds the limp body of her son, screaming.  The men of the family say nothing as they grab him by the ankles and start dragging him back to the house.

I'm putting my Grandmother to bed.  Her room is full of dust.  I lay her down and cover her with cobwebs before turning out the light.

My teeth are falling out of my head.  My gums are black and gooey.  They fall out so easy I can't do anything to keep them in.

I visit my husband at the steel plant where he works.  Someone drops a 40,000 pound coil, it lands on me and squishes me flat.

What if those weird, spacy people are actually ghost who have manifested themselves so well no one knows they're dead?
