While under the boardwalk, we
found some college girl stripped, beaten
and raped by some local thugs.

On The Edge Under The Full Moon
When they saw
her stand on the
edge under the
full moon, they
ran over to stop
her but she jumped
anyway.

The Next Generation Dorothy Stratten And Paul Snider
Lisa found
an old photo of her
mother while going through some boxes
in the attic and noticed she looked like Lisa
back when she was younger and on the
verge of becoming a
top model.
But when she
showed the pic to her dad
and asked him whatever happened to
her mother, he took a deep breath and told Lisa
that her real father went crazy
and shot her dead with his
own shotgun.
But that was
not before her mother
gave birth to Lisa and he raised her
after her real dad killed both her mom and... then......

This One Bar Where A Friend's Bachelor Party Was Being Held
As soon as we got
to this one bar where a friend's
bachelor party
was being held, I saw this
one chick with curly blonde hair.
I walked up to that
chick, tapped on her shoulder and
was about to tell
her my name but that's before
she saw the guest of honor.
She pushed me aside,
pulled a gun out of her black
leather jacket and
shot that poor guy straight in the
heart which made the others scream.
And after she said
that it was for breaking her
sister's heart at the
altar, she fired one...

Just Heard That Lisa Marie Died
I just heard that the
King of Rock and Roll's daughter
whose name happens to
be Lisa Marie Presley
died from cardiac arrest.
I bet that Elvis
is in his grave wondering
who would be able
to inherit Graceland
from Lisa Marie's demise.
Personally, I
doubt that her mother would be
the one for the job.
So, it might as well be the
one kid named Riley Keough.
It's either her or
one of the kids she had with
Michael Jackson or
Nicolas Cage or this one
guy who's named Michael Lockwood.

Jefferson City- How in the World Did This Happen?
I had gotten to Jefferson City after roughly ten hours in the car. I made a minor detour in Nebraska so I could cross from Nebraska into Missouri and cross a state border I had never crossed before. I planned the same thing for the next night, so I could cross from Missouri into Kentucky. Like normal, I got settled in my room and found the closest, nearest thing to a sports bar to have dinner, a beer, watch football, and talk to people. I walked in and looked for the seat at the bar that gave me the best chance to get picked up. There was a seat near a corner with a man on the right and...

After That Certain Bomb Was Dropped
After that certain
bomb was dropped down on Japan's
own Hiroshima,
the blast produced a deadly
mushroom cloud killing millions.

Black Death
A scorpion will never face it’s own stinger. A bear will never maul itself. Why then do some men have wounds they wont talk about?
It’s not always the arrow that kills you, it’s the infection. Gangrene is a slow death, spreading slowly but surely. It loves an open wound and marches it’s death brigade ever so gradually to the heart.
The unforgiven has a unique gaze his eyes. It’s says he’s longed for the barrel of his revolver. Looking at him is like staring right through a bullet hole. And he knows the choice is simple, cut off the trigger finger that betrayed...

A Million Pieces
A Million Pieces
Take forever to put back together
They have you searching
The world over for those pieces
That were blown away by the wind
You grab the pieces you can
Yet they slip away like sand
Slipping through your fingers
You need these pieces though
Because without them you're just hollow
So you go out into the world
Searching for the pieces of your heart
Whilst many step on fragments
Without even batting an eye
Scouring the world over
Only to be left cold
Taking the piece you can...
Take forever to put back together
They have you searching
The world over for those pieces
That were blown away by the wind
You grab the pieces you can
Yet they slip away like sand
Slipping through your fingers
You need these pieces though
Because without them you're just hollow
So you go out into the world
Searching for the pieces of your heart
Whilst many step on fragments
Without even batting an eye
Scouring the world over
Only to be left cold
Taking the piece you can...

Otherworldly Memories Part IV: The Evil Eye
- Otherworldly Memories Part IV: The Evil Eye -
So it came to pass, that after my marriage to the duchess Kar'mila Crom-Cruach, known to me more intimately as Kaitlin, was officiated and celebrated across all of the lands that belonged to us... we did set out with much ceremony and with a mighty host at our side for the island of Eriu, which was of old the ancestral seat of Kaitlin's people. They ruled there from a great city that had once been but a hill fort in the earliest of days, and the name of that city was Tara... the same as the great hill upon which it lay. Many peoples...

Seeing Herself Heartbroken
It was after having taken a shower
that Claudia sat in front of a mirror
and saw tears running down her
cheeks for she lost her love Peter.
