| Let's Take A Short Break From Scaring You And Instead Talk About Beating People Up |
| 2008-05-08 09:24:00 |
I have started a new site that will complement the 1 billion other blogs I have. That new site is My Dad Can Beat Up Your Dad.. Here's it's raison d'etre. (That's French. French, I'm told, is an actual language that people actually speak in countries that nobody actually respects.) Why "My Dad Can Beat Up Your Dad" exists:When I was a kid, I read comic books. Invariably, the best of all comic book storylines involved crossovers -- heroes meeting up or villains meeting up and battling it out.I have vivid memories of the comic book, which I had in giant size, in which Spider-Man met, and fought, Superman, only to turn around and fight Lex Luthor and Doc Octopus. I expect, when I get old, my memory of that fight, including [SPOILER ALERT INVOLVING RAY GUNS...

If you knew you were going to die in just one second, what would you want to be your last sight?Would you want it to be your mother?Would you want it to be a sunrise?Would you want it to be a bright blue sky full of clouds so puffy and near that you could pull them down and squish them in your hand like a sponge?Or would you want it to be a swirling tornado of jagged shapes, of tortured colors, of claws and fangs and pieces and scales and horns lit from within by a cold red light that was the exact color of a fire doused in blood?Jake screamed and screamed and screamed until he could feel wet flecks flying out of his mouth. He pushed himself back against the wall, pulling his blankets up and in front of him. His feet pedaled and scrambled and kicked and he screamed and his hands clenched a...

Nothing is much more lonely than 3 a.m.Lily woke at 3 a.m. that night. Jim was sleeping next to her. She heard him breathing, but did not feel anything. He was probably motionless a few feet away in the dark. She laid there, awake, but eyes closed.She never opened her eyes anymore when she woke up in the night. Not since that night a few weeks ago.The day after that night had been almost as strange as that night. She'd woken up. She and Jim had not talked that much in the morning, but they didn't usually talk that much. But this morning it seemed like there was more to it. Usually they didn't talk because they were drinking coffee, reading the paper, thinking about the day ahead.That day they didn't talk because they couldn't think what to say about it.She'd seen Jim off to the door. He wa...

Hi! Sorry to have to be the one to tell you this, but real life (you know, that thing that keeps you from getting on the Internet) is taking over this week; I'll be too busy to post anything until Friday or Saturday -- April 25 or 26-- at the earliest.But in the meantime, why not browse around some of the older stuff? You could check out the hilarious stories on Thinking The Lions -- where you can meet the newest member of the family, "Frankencouch."There's always more to read here on The Best of Everything -- I bet I've got over 200 posts, and many of them don't even mention Dennis DeYoung.Or find out what is or is not a sport, as well as why you should know Owen Meany and my plans for one of my twin sons to grow up to be a lady golfer, over on Nonsportsmanlike Conduct.You can see those t...

"When Jim gets home he'll run you home, Mom.""I could take a bus," Grandma said from the kitchen. Jake sat slumped at the dining room table looking glumly out the patio door into the backyard where the sun was shining and only a few leaves had actually even begun to turn colors."Don't be silly. It'll be no trouble. You can stay for dinner if you want.""I really shouldn't."Jake wondered why his grandma shouldn't stay for dinner."Come on. You never stay over for dinner anymore," his mom said. "It's the least we can do. You come and watch Jake and won't let us pay."Jake switched from the backyard to the clock. 1:30. Hours before his dad came home. He wondered if he should try to take a nap. The thought of going up to his bed made him sweaty."You okay, Jakey," his mom said, coming up to him wi...

"Jake. Jake! JAKE!" Jake rubbed his eyes and sat up. His mom was leaning down in front of him. It had sounded like she was shouting, but she was hissing right into his ear. "Get up, Jake. Hurry! Your dad is almost out of the shower."Jake looked around, disoriented. The sun was creeping up over the edge of the vacant lot across the street, painting the wall behind him orange in a gridwork of window frames and blinds. What was he doing down here?A flash vision: A red eye. A long nail... like a claw?He looked at his mom: "Don't let him get me."His mom hugged him. "I don't want to. Go upstairs."Jake ran up the stairs. He ran by the bathroom just as he heard the radio turn off, meaning Dad was done shaving and ready to come out. He skidded into his room and jumped on his bed. As he twisted the...

There were only six more hours until Jake could get up.There were only 5 hours and 59 minutes until Jake could get up.He lay in his bed, watching the numbers on the digital clock next to him. He could make it through the night and then when Mom and Dad went to work and Grandma was here he could go to sleep in the clubhouse out back. Grandma wouldn't bother him. She didn't like to come outside in the heat.There were only 5 hours and 58 minutes until Jake could get up.There was a swish of a breeze. Jake stared fixedly at the glowing green numbers on the clock.There was another slight rustle. Jake refused to look. He told himself he would not look. He told himself just to stare at the clock. His eyes didn't listen, and they swept quickly over the room.You should never look quickly. You should...

| Part 8: It wasn't so bad |
| 2008-03-27 08:15:00 |
It wasn’t so bad during the day, and when the dead weren’t talking to her or trying to use her.Sometimes Lois had enough strength to talk to her.Freddy had made it back to her bed. She’d laid in her bed the rest of the morning, that first morning after the night she’d almost opened the door. She thought that had been a day or two after Lois’ car crash, but wasn’t sure anymore.She’d crawled back to her bed, feeling warm and drowsy and sick to her stomach, and laid on her bed for a few minutes. Just about ready to fall asleep, as the sun rose outside her bedroom window, she’d opened her eyes slightly and saw, through her bedroom doorway, the door to the outside. She’d seen the chain on it, and the doorknob. And she saw her palm print on the doorknob, a smudge.That’s not e...

“Help you what?”Kill you.Freddy sucked in her breath. That couldn’t be Lois.It’s not said another voice. She felt her chest tighten. She heard a rush of air in her ears. Her eyes snapped open and she saw shadows flit away from her sight.It’s easier if you can see us she heard.Get away she recognized Lois, the feel of Lois. The thought of her.The person who said get away, the voice who felt like Lois, was the same person who’d said she wanted to kill her.A flick of darkness went across her vision. She sat up suddenly, but not because she wanted to. Her back muscles clenched and held her upright. Her head slowly turned to look at the door, or where the door would be if it weren’t too dark to see it.She watched as her body leaned forward. Her hands had been laying in her lap. Th...

| Part Six: Not Wanting To Think |
| 2008-03-18 08:10:00 |
Not wanting to think about what was happening to her, Freddy lay there for a long time. Her skin made its way slowly back to room temperature. Her heartbeat slowed down, and down, and down.After a while, she was warm and lethargic and felt like she would not be able to stand up.She lay on her back and looked over her shoulder at the door. She was still hungry. The door was upside down in her sight, locked and chained.Don’t go.The memory of a voice again. Her heart beat. Once. She waited for it to beat again, gave up.Who was talking? She wondered. Who had been talking?She remembered the night before, Lois’ face, and Lois’ words.“Don’t,” she’d said. Her eyes were still alive then.What else had she said?Freddy’s head began to ache. Her heart beat once… twice. Then not again ...

| 2008-03-08 08:13:00 |
...And with that her heart beat three times in a row and a thrill ran up her spine, the shudder almost throwing her into the door.And that scared her because she was not excited about going out there, going through that door. She was not excited about it. But something was.She put her hand on the door. There was a lump in her throat. She put her fingers on the doorknob. Her lips grew dry. Her heart beat again, but she didn’t let that distract her. She twisted the knob and held it, ready to pull open, but not open, for a second, a minute, long enough for her pulse to throb in her ear again, and with that she ripped the door open and threw it back and threw herself into the next room.It was empty.She sat up and looked around. It was empty. The window was closed, the front door was closed (...

This photo is by the phenomenal Australian photographer "Sez." You ought to read her blog and look at her photos. She did not wake again until the late afternoon. When she did, she at first wondered why she was laying on the floor in front of her bedroom door.She remembered the colors. She remembered the pain in her head, which was gone now, entirely gone without even the dull ache that sometimes was left after a sickness or hangover. She remembered someone saying “yes.”She sat up sharply and looked at her bedroom door. It was open just a tiny sliver. She knelt, carefully, and looked at the space between the door and the jamb. She looked through it. She held her breath and peered through the tiny crack into the other room in her apartment. The only other room in her apartment.She fe...

| Part Three: The Sound of Paper Tearing |
| 2008-02-23 09:15:00 |
The sound of paper tearing woke Freddy up. And just in time. Her dreams were not something she would have wanted to continue that night.Newsprint does not rip cleanly in both directions. It can be ripped straight up and down in one direction, but cannot be torn precisely in a horizontal line.There were no images in her dreams. No people, no guns, no scary trees or gravestones. There were colors, flowing like rivers and dripping like blood. Dripping from where, she didn’t know. And the colors… she could not identify the colors. When she woke she knew they were colors, but could not have told anyone what colors they were. If the purple and greens of a bruise were eaten and regurgitated by the dull blue of a vein u...

| You Know What Happens After Dark: Part Two |
| 2008-02-16 10:18:00 |
Freddy walked slowly home that night, underneath the starlike lamps along the curb, lost in her own thoughts, many of them just the mundane thoughts any twenty year old girl would have, and many of them skirting around the subject of her only-recently-ex boyfriend and many more of them fluttering past the question of when she would tell Mom that they’d broken up. It hadn’t even been anything big that broke them up. She thought maybe that it was just that she didn’t want to live with anyone.She was almost at her apartment building when she heard the thump-thump-thump of that song again. Lois’ song, whatever it was she’d been playing. She looked up and saw the back end of Lois’ car, its brake lights shining at her like two sleepy eyes.The front was e...

| 2008-02-09 12:02:00 |
Freddy felt the dead people the most at night.That was the only way she could put it.When she understood what was happening, that is.Like most stories about dead people and their re-entry into this world, Freddy’s story begins with the usual: It wasn’t always that way.Part One: When it began…Freddy was 20 years old, and newly out on her own. She’d moved out of her parents house at 19 and ½, and moved out of her ex-boyfriend’s house just three weeks after that. Too proud to tell her parents they’d been right (or even let them think it if she’d gone back to them and said she needed her old room back) she’d spent two nights on the street before finding a small apartment near the restaurant she worked second shift at.“So at least I got a place to go home to tonight,” she s...

Hey, everyone! Did you know that in addition to Under the Eyes Of God, I write four other blogs? If you didn't, here's a sample of what you've been missing:BABIES! BABIES! PETS! PETS! This is another picture from the weekend of all the kids; we took them all to the local zoo, too. The younger ones were not very impressed by the zoo at all. My theory is that to Babies!, everything is all new. We grown-ups are used to seeing trucks and houses and things, so to get us excited, you've got to put a giraffe in front of us. But to Babies!, a giraffe is no more or less exciting than a Volvo. Mr F, shown here, did like the little turtle that was swimming around, and tried to touch it.The title of this post refers to the brief argument/bet Sweetie and I made this morning. . . . read more Babies!

How long had it been since he had seen another human being?How long since he had talked to anyone but his own reflection?How long since he’d seen the speck of reflected light in front of him, directly in front of him, and waved his arm ineffectively against the ether to see the speck blink in and out and realized that the star was behind him, and he was casting a shadow on the speck, which was reflecting the star’s light back when he was not interfering by waving his arm.How big was it?How far away was it?Very far and large? Or very small and near?Claudius had not started out alone and scared.He fought those feelings now.He stared at the growing rock in front of him and recognized it for what it was, almost… almost…It shifted and then shifted back, blinking in and out and he went t...

| Eclipse Part Nine: Acceleration is fundamentally indistinguishable from a gravitational field |
| 2008-01-26 10:02:00 |
Claudius lay on his back, immobile. Dreaming.He dreamed that he was working. He was pushing a lawnmower, sweating. It was hot. The air was still and thick as he pushed through it. The lawnmower roared. He sweated and rubbed his forehead. He pushed through more thick grass, looking at the house that he was mowing in front of. He wondered if someone was moving around in there. He wondered if they had air conditioning. He rubbed his forehead more and more, pressing harder and harder. It grew tender.He opened his eyes. Something was wrong with that dream. He was in a small room. He could tell that simply by moving his head, as he lay on his back, and looking at the contours of the room.His head would not move far. It felt to him as though he was collared in. His vision was circumscribed, as th...

| Eclipse Part Eight: Did They Get You To Trade Your Heroes For Ghosts? |
| 2008-01-20 14:02:00 |
“Please, allow me to introduce myself,” the man in the Sport Jacket said as he walked around his Desk, hand outheld in greeting. Claudius stuck out his own hand, just a little too late and they both knew it. Claudius winced, inwardly, and wondered why he’d never mastered that, why he could not interact with People smoothly, the way everyone else did it. All around him were People who understood that when you first meet someone, you put out your Hand to shake, and did it. He was, always had been, just a little slow on that.“You don’t need to do that,” he said to the man. He looked at the Nameplate on the Desk. “I know who you are, Doctor, and I should, shouldn’t I?”The doctor chuckled, a little, and nodded, saying “I’m a man of wealth, and taste. I’ve been around for...

He would not walk on this planet.

Claudius sat at the desk and tapped his pen on his the paper where he was working on a crossword puzzle.“Seven letters,” he told himself. “A disgraceful ending.” The sixth letter, he hoped, was “p.”Claudius did the crossword puzzles in ink. He never made a mistake and tried not to fill in the word until he was sure. He sometimes took a leap of faith and usually was correct when he did so, but that made him no more or less likely to do so the next time. He tapped the pen against his teeth, then reached out to turn up the radio that sat on his desk as a new song came on.

Model Rockets have solid fuel. The Engines for a model rocket are cardboard tubes filled with powder that combusts and sends the heat and energy blasting down to launch the rocket up into the air. They do not have the Power to launch the model Rocket into space. Model Rockets always fall back to Earth, and generally land close to where they started.Claudius started model Rocketry using kits.
