            While going over the taxable aspects of my soul with a satanic accountant -- horns and black eyes accompanying pocket protector and monstrous fangs -- I heard, what sounded like, a battering ram hammering the front door.  The Creature from the Black Lagoon opened the door only to get covered in cream.  A six foot cock came charging in, held aloft by five tawny Asians in loan clothes.  They snaked their way to the back of the apartment, and I felt a panic sweat kicking in because I knew what awaited them back there:  the Grim Reaper, Richard Nixon, and a roller derby Ellen Paige;  and not one a good conversationalist.  Screams of delight fortunately ensued, drying the sweat.

            Turning back to the accountant, I saw a werewolf opening a can of Coors Light.  Slapping the can out of his paw I shouted, “Jesus you ignorant fucker!  Don’t you know about silver bullets?”  He looked menacing yet blank as if his face had a fixed expression.  Shaking his head, he went off to find another beverage, never once thanking me.   

            The accountant vanished to the chiming of a cell phone leaving me with two witches admiring each other’s wardrobes.  They rolled their eyes, sneering as Ash answered the front door exclaiming, “Marilyn Monroe!”  The sneers vanished when Marilyn came in sporting a full beard, Jack and Bobby Kennedy on each arm, their busts bigger than Ms. Monroe’s.

            Doctor Livingstone, who presumed too much expecting anyone to recognize him, asked me what I thought of the spread.  I told him I didn’t care for the witch’s intestines -- too much pesto.  He nodded, “My thoughts exactly.”  When Zombie Shirley Temple walked past, wagging too much ass for a toddler, the doc started to say something, but I cut him off, “This is no time for a rotisserie.  That child’s parents are probably worried sick.  It’s… fuck all!  Midnight.  The police are liable to be here soon suspecting god only knows what.  I’ll get rid of her and send word by drum when it’s over.  Kids drown quick, and the toilet tank is full.” 

            “I don’t think we need to worry about her folks,” a lingerie model (who claimed to be a mouse) said, giggling.

            “Do you know them?” I asked.  She shook her head.  “Then what the fuck do you know?”  And I went looking for my gun.  No half clad whore is going to tell me what to worry about… vampires smoking dope occupied my bedroom, getting glitter everywhere.  I don’t trust the pretty ones.  They always want relationships not just a suck and a fuck.  I excused myself -- “I have my own dope, thank you, and that shit smells like kitty litter.” -- politely and headed for the back steps. 

            Outside the ghouls smoked cigarettes.  Kurt Cobain strummed a guitar, evidently having blown out the part of his brain that allowed him to play.  A tabloid reporter with Hitler’s brain in a jar snapped shots of all around, particularly Elvira’s cleavage.  The lucky fucker must have been making his career:  Alien grays, a Mayan Priest with Mel Gibson’s beating heart, the heart swearing at spectral Jews when it pulsed, Mark Twain making a move on Courtney Love, clearly gesturing he wished to fist, Dracula and Blackula together at last, a surplus of zombies, two kinds of Jokers, the Afro Samurai, a black leprechaun, one Sex Machine, and Franklin D. Roosevelt walking; and everywhere in-between lingerie models who seemed to think they could just say a costume, “I’m a {fill in animal or profession}.” 

            A quick smoke to settle the nerves then back inside to wrestle the rum from Jack Sparrow (a man glad to be properly recognized though a pirate holding a jug of rum is not necessarily Cap‘n Jack) for a quick refill.  Beverage in hand, I went looking for a chair. 

            Some nights are not meant for mushrooms.

A Life Extraordinary

10/26/2011

0 Comments

 
     You can't go to the corner store for what I want.  I'd like that.  It would make a great deal of my day to day much simpler.  However, such woes are little in comparison to the gains my, shall we say, minor inconveniences permit; I think of it like a toll -- pay this then live forever.  But don't start any misapprehensions; I'm not a vampire.  I don't drink blood.  And for that matter I'm none of the other predictable lot:  werewolves, Frankensteinian knockoffs, revenants, zombies, etc.  I'm just a person.
     I was born in Chicago, went to school (never cared for it), got a job, married, and like many people spent most of my life pretending to be content.  I say content because there were occasions, like when we escaped the Great Chicago Fire, when I could be called happy.  I didn't suffer from any particular melancholy.  In fact, I only learned the word I need around 1919:  ennui.  See, sometime around fifteen I had this epiphany which granted a forward glimpse at the big picture I could call my life.  The summation I used before isn't brevity in action, it's the simple fact of my existence, a formula for life (which I've found most people follow).  And it didn't seem to be a life worth living because it seemed like the life everyone around me lived -- born but to die after a brief while in routine.  Terrified of the banality I saw advancing like a train, I intended to have a more interesting existence.
     However, financial concerns dictated I put off my adventures, my quest for a grander life.  So I worked hard in the train yards stitched throughout Chicago.  Then, without considering the consequences, as is often the case, I fell in love.  Melissa Yancy shared my point of view; she wanted all she could get out of life, to travel the world; and together we believed we could make our dreams come true.  We'd wander the globe, experience all there is, and meet the most interesting people.  Together we saved every penny intending to leave the city before another winter.
     Then we had a child.  Peter.
     True, we could have taken him with us on our epic excursions, however, it didn't seem safe.  How could Melissa and I explore the jungles of South America with a baby?  So we decided to put off our adventures until our son grew old enough to accompany us.  Then we had Ellen.  And David, who died inside of a year.  After that Melissa didn't seem to care what life could offer.  My bones began creaking too often, too achingly to make me lust after Bavarian mountains.  So we resigned ourselves and hoped to inspire our children to be what we never could.
     Ellen possessed no desire other than to marry and raise a family.  She met a good man, and he too wanted the same.  Peter married the daughter of the grocer for whom he worked, and then he also settled into routine.  I felt proud of them, in a way.  They grew up to be decent people, as far as I could tell, though a little shame always persisted, nagging at the back of my mind.  Melissa understood my feelings despite never sharing them.  Age softened her appreciation of existence whereas I only say the diminishing sands, the hourglass draining.  
     One morning I woke up, and she didn't.  I buried my love and acquiesced to soon joining her.  I wanted to think, as some people do, that after this life there is something even more spectacular waiting.  But my thoughts would never cling to such fancies, even when I wanted them to be true.  I expected to die and there to be nothing after -- the inspiration for my dreams of a grand life.   
     By 1902 I was past fifty, my heart sometimes pained me when it beat, and I was forced to live with Peter as I couldn't work anymore.  I'd take walks during the day to distract myself from thoughts such as:  This is what I foresaw at fifteen; my life is right on the track I predicated and feared; soon I'll be no more and a failure as far as my dreams are concerned -- what was the point?  
     So it was, with these thoughts in my head, I ambled to the cemetery.  Despite my idea of the afterlife, I still found some strange comfort sitting beside my wife's grave.  And Melissa was, in many ways, the only person who ever really listened to my complaints.
     Approaching her grave I noticed a young Oriental man by her stone.  He knelt in the grass picking small purple-blue flowers, the size of clover, from the ground.  When he heard me coming he looked up and smiled.
     "Hello," he said without hint of an accent.
     I returned his greeting and asked, "What are you doing?"
     "Flowers."  He held up a small pouch full of the same plants he picked, "For tea."
     "From the graveyard?"
     He nodded quickly, "They only grow with the dead."
     Pointing to Melissa's stone I said, "That's my wife."
     His smile fell.  He rose to his feet and made a slight bow, "I'm sorry.  I meant no disrespect."  His eyes fixed on the ground, he seemed to be mulling something over in his mind.  Coming to a conclusion he nodded and said, "Here."  He held out his hand offering me a palm full of the flowers he'd picked.   
     At first I considered refusing but then thought, 'Why not?  It would be something different.  Even if the tea turns out to be terrible it'll be an interesting story.'  So I asked if there were any special preparation instructions.  He shook his head, said to make it like any normal tea.  I thanked him, took the flowers, and he walked off.  
     Later that night I told Peter and his wife, Lucy, about the encounter.  Lucy immediately went to heat a kettle.  Peter protested with concerns the tea might be toxic.  Lucy shushed him saying, "Just a sip.  To see what it tastes like."  The twinkle in her eye made me think of Melissa.  
     I let Lucy handle the task.  After a while she set a steaming mug before me.  It looked blue-green.  Both of us grinning I took a cautious sip.  
     "Not bad," I said, "Tastes like mint and maybe..." -- another sip -- "Cinnamon?  Something peppery but sweet."  
     "May I?" Lucy asked.
     "Of course."  We drank the mug together, laughing away Peter's concerns about poisons. 

#

     The next morning Peter and Lucy looked tired yet satisfied.  Recognizing the symptoms I remarked discretely, "Interesting evening?"  Peter looked to Lucy who blushed and focused on making breakfast.  Leaning close he whispered, "I don't know what's in that tea, but I think you should get more."
     "I agree."
     Following breakfast I went for a walk and found myself strolling at a much quicker pace than usual.  Something felt absent, and I realized my back didn't pain me the way it usually did.  In addition, my heart didn't thud painfully any longer.  I spent most of the day wandering the city and didn't feel the least bit tired even after miles of walking.  For three days I enjoyed this reinvigoration.  But on the fourth... the old ailments returned.  
     Suspecting the curative properties of the tea I went to the cemetery and searched the grounds for any sign of the flower.  I found none.  Remembering the man's words, "They only grow with the dead," I went to another graveyard.  There I managed to find a small handful of the flowers.
     What happened next I am not proud to admit.  I worried the small quantity I procured might not have the same restorative effects as the previous amount.  So I waited till Lucy and Peter went to sleep before brewing a cup.  
     It worked.  I woke up the next morning with the same zest as before... Lucy suspected something.  She said, "Feeling refreshed?"  And I've never been able to shake the concern she knew about my selfish consumption.  From then on I always made sure to save a few petals for her... though it didn't turned out to be enough.  
     The flowers were harder to find than one might imagine.  I found myself in a new routine:  wandering from one city cemetery to the next.  Occasionally I could find a small handful but never enough to fill a pouch like the Oriental man had.  Sometimes I'd spy someone strolling the graveyard, eyes scanning the ground, and I wondered if we searched for the same thing.  
     Although, from time to time, I set some aside for Lucy, I drank the lion's share of the flower.  As such, though it made her feel stimulated and potent, it produced some very interesting affects on me.  For instance, my hair lost all signs of grey.  My joints ceased to bother me.  Distant images became less blurred.  I gained stamina I hadn't seen since twenty.  Instead of feeling fading I felt alive.
     One morning I decided to explore several cemeteries in the area.  In order to do so I reasoned that I'd best start as early as possible.  I rose near dawn and left on my endeavor.  Imagine my surprise finding at least a dozen people searching the graveyard.  I could tell by the bags they carried, and the way they stooped every few paces they were gathering flowers.  This explained why my afternoon excursions so rarely produced more than a few meager plants.  During the early dawn others must have harvested every stem and petal from the grounds.  
     I immediately went to work.  None of us spoke to one another.  Every so often I might pass another harvester, but we merely exchanged brief nods of acknowledgement.  We went up and down the rows till the whole cemetery had been plucked.  I didn't fill my pouch as much as others, but I walked away with a tidy amount.  And now I understood.  In order to gather any significant quantity I'd have to harvest in the predawn hours.  The Oriental I met must have been out gathering what scraps he could, knowing as I do that some flowers escape detection.  
     Thus my new routine developed.  In the earliest hours I went to the cemetery to harvest, took the spoils home at dawn, drank my tea for breakfast, and spent the remainder of the day revitalized.  
     I took a position in Peter's store and started saving money.  It felt like I could still manage to live the dreams I'd had since childhood.  With a bag full of my cemetery flowers, I saw the world opening up with possibility again. 

#

     I do not care to dwell upon what came to pass, so I will be brief.
     Peter grew old.  He died.  Ellen and her husband did as well.  Lucy lived to be eighty, but she too passed away.  She alone suspected the cause of her longevity.  I out lived them all.  Even, perhaps, my grandchildren.  
     Of course, it rapidly became apparent I couldn't stay in the old neighborhood.  People at first suspected tonics of various natures and shoe polish in my hair, but eventually, their suspicions grew darker.  Some who saw me leaving the graveyard in the dawn hours fanned the flames of superstition.  I considered revealing my secret, however, I wondered about my fellow harvesters.  For one reason or another they'd all kept the secret of the flowers.  Maybe it was just pure selfishness.  After all, there weren't enough flowers for everyone, and they only grew with the dead.  If people stopped dying... so I sold Peter's business after his death in 1927.  I gave a large portion of the sale to Lucy and used the rest to travel.  
     Naturally, I took a pouch full of my flowers.  I planned to use them sparingly, however, my first night in London I stopped off in a local cemetery, out of habit, and found harvesters at work here as well.  So long as there are the buried dead, I can find my flowers; I harvest, I work, I travel, and now that I have the time I will, eventually, live the life I always wanted:  a life extraordinary.

Back to The Time When Then Meant

It comes back to the time when then meant what would come to pass not what happened next past tense.  Someone suggested take a step back down, but the choice called for all chambers loaded emptied in a second without double thinking... maybe I should... not hesitate.  Release the trigger and think another shot of vodka would be a good idea about now, and crank the jukebox to drown out the widow wailing.  But at the bar people don't back slap Congratulate, "You destroyed his skull with skill.  If it weren't for the tats we'd have to guess if it was Joe."  The only one to arrive and grab my hand slaps cuffs on my wrist.  But... I can explain:  the gun in the glove box, the need to shoot... eight Rumplemintz... afraid to look a coward, I won't back down... getting raped in the shower by four who knew the deceased it comes back to the time when then meant I could stop.

Before the Opening

     This will not be seen again.  It belongs to the old ways.  The time before the world was made aware.  Lo there do I see the past I would prefer to inhabit and having come from that time it pains me, more so than most, the fact I can never be then again. 

                   -     excerpt from a diary found amongst the rubble.

 
     There!  Did you see it?  No.  It’s my fault.  I shouldn’t have exclaimed.  It’s my fault.  Next time.  Maybe if I gave you some pointers it would make things easier.  Yes.  That’s the ticket.
     Watch now.  Carefully but not obviously.  Just there out of the corner of your eye.  It looks like a shadow flicker.  But shadows aren’t too abundant at midday, are they?  Or are they?  Depends on the kind of shadows you expect to see.  
     Now, you would be lying if you said you’d never seen a movement you couldn’t account for.  Little shivers of motion on the edge of your vision.  You probably dismiss it some way or another.  Logically of course, but a doubt lingers nonetheless.  Reasonable doubt.
     You weren’t wrong.  Only just trained to think you’re wrong.  Who did the learning for you and why?  Those the real questions.  If I had an answer one I would give you all the knowing I own.  
     Excuse me… just need to take my pill real quick.  
     Don’t go!  This little devil is for nerves.  Something of a calmer.  No need to make suspicions that lead otherwise.  I gave you the benefit of the doubt... why not give me the same? 

-     transcribed from Dr. Katherine Dylan’s sessions with patient #17396-H, Edward Clancy.

 

  
The sketch I’ve attached to this file is the first representation I’ve managed.  It is crude, and for that I apologize.  My hands wouldn’t stop shaking.  However, this initial drawing, along with my notes, will provide you with a sufficient understanding of my observations.  
     I suspect what your reaction will be Howard.  Let me caution you.  Do not be needlessly skeptical.  It may be a hard pill to swallow, but this is real.  What wonders are to follow I can only suppose, but we shall be at the forefront.  Please write back as soon as possible.

-     note from Dr. William Alioto to biologist Dr. Howard Lowe

 

     It moves with such an elegant ease, I must admit to a touch of jealousy.  Like a kite in a breeze.  It’s more like gliding than moving.  I suspect wings though have seen no signs to agree with such an assumption.  
     Easily six feet tall.  At least this one.
     No distinguishing marks to take note of.  This will make discerning between it and another of its kind difficult.  I have to face the possibility I may have already observed more than one without realizing it.  Although, given how hard it has been just to eye this one...
     You almost have to not be looking.  
     Tried taking pictures.  Only caught blurred fragments.  I need harder proof.  My own observations can be dismissed.  For the time being I have to take care and record every detail while the facts are still fresh in my mind.  
     Six feet tall.  Humanoid upper torso.  Purplish shades throughout a dark blue sinewy frame.  The darkest blue I’ve ever seen.  It borders on black while remaining close to cobalt.  Or perhaps the color is fluctuating discretely.  Bioluminescent?  Long spindly fingers.  How many digits are unknown.  No sign of legs.  Yet it held itself upright with no apparent attachment to the walls.  If this is true then it floated.  As such the suspicion of wings, but once again, there were no signs to confirm that supposition.  
     First witnessed on the third of May.  Seen again on the seventeenth.  Two more sightings before the end of the month, dates unknown.  Occurred in the middle of the night.  Both of the later instances accidental.  The first two were the result of following the Kempff Method. 

     Nota bene:  Look into Kempff’s own research on the creature. 

                   -     from the surviving files of Dr. William Alioto

 
 
     Turn around too quick.  Snap a light all of a sudden.  Those are the little tricks.  There are other ways.  But I don’t recommend learning any of those.  Once you learn how to see it’s impossible to stop.  And you can feel their eyes the same as hands.  Or ice.     
     But don’t get the wrong impression.  I still want you to see one.  Just one.  Just once.  That way you’ll know.

     History does not remember Martin Kempff very well.  His contributions to science have been relegated to the forum of the occult and dismissed as spiritualist nonsense.  Although he is considered entertaining, Kempff’s “discovery” is not given any serious regard, at least not by anyone with a genuine scientific outlook.
     The purpose of this piece is neither to prove nor disprove the validity of Kempff’s observations, but more so to demonstrate a flaw in the scientific method.  Observation through the senses is a useful means of gathering data on the world around us.  It is only within recent centuries, however, that the tools to back up those observations have become available.  The camera can capture images.  Sounds can be recorded.  While these documented moments may not necessarily back up the conclusions made, they certainly provide a record of the subject in question as a fact.  When the senses alone are applied to the matter of recording data, it is well known how easily they can be deceived, sometimes, tragically, by the observer’s own mind.   
     Martin Kempff worked in a time when an individual’s own personal observations were the limit of scientific study.  In order to back up any data, it was necessary for others to be able to replicate the situation in which particular phenomena was observed.  Although some took the man at his word, it is vitally important to note that he did not live in a similar era as we enjoy now.  It may sound presumptuous, but we live in a time of more rational thinking.  The idea that entities exist, looming over our shoulders, though a good ghost story, is easily recognized as the fantastical imaginings of a sadly sick mind. 

-     excerpt from the introduction to P. Thomas Haake’s book Science’s Specters

     

 
    William,

     I am writing to you as a friend.  Your observations are not news to me.  Do not continue this. 

     Howard. 

                   -     note from Dr. Howard Lowe to Dr. William Alioto

 

      My friend,

     Think of me what you will.  I‘ve said my piece.  The young man delivering this letter is my assistant.  He has been instructed to help you in whatever manner you require.  I will vouch for him, if my word still means anything to you.  All he knows is that a great opportunity awaits him, and that I think highly of you.  
     This is assuming, of course, he finds you well at home.  I must confess I sent him primarily to make sure you’re all right.  No one has seen or heard from you in several weeks.  I blame myself for anything terrible.  It was never my intention to send you down this path, though I unwittingly delivered the map.  I should have known better.  I’m aware of your curiosity and where Haake‘s book would invariably lead.  Maybe I was not so unwitting, meaning for you to go where I do not have the courage to tread.  If that is true I fear for you even as I am jealous.    
     Nevertheless, I hope all is well. 

     Sincerely,
     Howard.

-     letter from Dr. Howard Lowe to Dr. William Alioto

 
     I did not think I required any assistance, however, Howard’s lad has proven invaluable.  Perhaps for no other reason than it shows we are still friends.  I shamefully will admit I thought the boy a spy at first.  Fortunately, he laid those fears to rest with the way he plunged into the matter.  Now I don’t know how I got along without Edward.  
     Still, I can’t help wondering what it is Howard will not tell.  Here my respect for him diminishes.  There is no knowledge the world is better off not having, and I thought he understood that.  Perhaps it is only a matter of time till he comes around.  From the few texts I have discovered on the subject I can see where irrational fears might get the better of a man.  Yet, I have never known him to be so timid.  Part of me wonders if there might be more to the story.

                   -     excerpt from the diary of Dr. William Alioto

 

     A new behavior!  The usefulness of young Clancy increases.  I was cataloguing recent notes, while he fiddled with a camera.  (Useful photos remain elusive.  He suspects timers and randomness may be helpful.)  As I bothered with paperwork, one of them drifted up behind Edward.  Its fingers spilled into his head.  He gave no indication of being aware this occurred.  The creature fluttered through various shades of blue before floating away from him.  It moved as one might while working a loom, some portion of its hands always inside his skull.  Edward appears unaffected by the experience, but I will watch him closely.  The affect this behavior has on him may be the key to explaining it. 

                   -     from the surviving files of Dr. William Alioto

 
      He didn’t see them.  Not the way I did.  He only saw floating wonders.  My notes?  My notes… eating habits.  Group behavior.  You know road kill isn’t always the fault of a car?  Doc said, “Never mind.”  Got to be objective.  Yeah, right.  Fuck that.
     They played the Doc.  He never knew.  I was afraid to say.  
     Hands right through the skull playing his brain.  What’s the tune?  I don’t know.  What was it before?  You sure it’s the same after?
     Don’t speak.  You can’t tell what hasn’t been told.  Screw with them, and they’ll unscrew you.
     Wait.  I’ll calm down.  Wait.  WAIT.  No needles.  OW!  NO… no… when you sleep…

-     transcribed from Dr. Katherine Dylan’s sessions with patient #17396-H, Edward Clancy.


 
     The last several pages of Kempff’s own journal leave me concerned.  I can understand why people dismissed him so easily.  He rambles on as if trying to hold together a mind fracturing into a thousand splinters.  His writing sounds meaningless, but I feel some sense of purpose, as of an unaccomplished intention.
     These same concerns lead me to mention Edward.  He lately claims to have seen the creatures at night.  He wakes, and they are hovering over his bed, gone in the blink of an eye, faded out of focus then from view.  He has no idea what they want or were doing.  I told him these sounded like dreams, but he remained unconvinced.  In order to quiet his fears, I proposed that we set up the mirrors so that I could observe him while he slept.  
     How do I relate what I saw? Several gather in the room around the bed.  One at a time they take turns dipping fully into the sleeping body.  After experiencing the sleeper, one emerges and another takes its place.  This is done until the group has all gone once.  What Edward saw were those waiting their turn, but what purpose this all serves is beyond me, though I am brought back to Kempff’s words.  
     “Before the opening of my eyes I saw no strings.  For puppet or for melody?  And what of choice, in either regard?  This will not be seen again.  It belongs to the old ways.”

                   -     excerpt from the diary of Dr. William Alioto

 

     Look I didn’t know he was in the basement.  Okay?  I started that fire as a distraction.  They don’t care for the flame.  So I started the fire.  To get away.  
     Lot of good that did me.  
     What do you think I mean?
     Those floaters weren’t just hanging around us two.  Or just we two here.  You can find them anywhere if you know how to look.  Do you want me to teach you?  I can teach you.  You’ll regret it, but I will.  

-     transcribed from Dr. Katherine Dylan’s sessions with patient #17396-H, Edward Clancy.


 

     Sometimes patients have been known to talk about their delusions with such conviction that those same apparitions of the mind can become infectious.  Consequently, sympathetic persons who interact with such individuals can fall into a shared delusional state.  While rare, these occasions have been known to occur, sometimes involving minds we might presume to know better.  I am referring, of course, to the now infamous case of Dr. Katherine Dylan.  Before I go into the particulars of her psychotic break and what it means in regard to this study, as well as our profession, I would first like to say, not all knowledge is safely shared though all knowledge must be.
