The Strange Mind Of Mercury Dark

As Eddie walked towards the door, I grabbed my keys and phone and walked out with him, locking the door behind me. I was already a little shaken up. We walked all the way around down the block of our neighborhood and crossed a few streets until we came upon a familiar spot.

“Oh shit, this is where the picture was taken…

But I don’t understand, why would my penpal send a picture from here?!” I was so confused.

“Maybe that penpal is closer than what you think he or she may be” Eddie added.

“Shit, I didn’t think about that. That’s so creepy though”

I swore the person I emailed was in a different state, not so close to me. What am I going to do? I thought to myself..

We started to walk back to my house. I stopped walking and looked around.

“Don’t you feel weird Eddie?!” I asked.

He just looked at me and shook his head. “I feel like someone is watching me”.

“You’re just paranoid, no one is out here but us.” He looked around. “At least I think is just us.”

*Knock knock* , I was startled. “Who the hell was at my door?” I wasn’t expecting anyone. “Who is it?”, no response and no one outside when I looked thought the peephole. “Seriously?!” I asked myself. As I was walking away from the door, another knock. “What the hell?!”..

I just opened the door this time. No one but a single envelope on the ground. I stepped outside and looked around, just a single soul aside from me, my neighbor Eddie, he was working on his front lawn. “Hey Eddie, did you happen to see anyone on my doorstep a few moments ago?”

“Hey Liane, I actaully did someone, a man coming from your direction but he sped off once he saw me. A friend?” He looked at me perplexed.

“Actually no, I havent had anyone over or expecting anyone but I guess he left this envelope.”

“What is it?” Eddie asked. “I dont know but I already feel weird about it. Come inside I want to show you something”

Eddie walked into my house, we closed the door and I locked it. He looked at me again weird again. “You never lock your door!”

“I know” I told him, “Something doesn’t feel right, I swear I feel like I’m being watched”.

I walked over to my laptop and opened up the file that my pen pal sent me.

“Look at this, do you recognize this neighborhood?” I looked at Eddie as he examined the photo. He opened up his eyes wide. “Come with me” he said while walking towards the door, “I’ll show you exactly where this is”

“Ding” moments later the received an email. “Well that was quick”. I sat back down on my desk and opened my email on my laptop. It was a email from Amazon. As i was about to get back up though I heard another “Ding” coming from my laptop. I looked again and this time it was an email from MMyers31. “Nice, let’s see what he or she has to say”. I opened up the email. Nothing in the inbox. I refreshed it and an image started loading. It was loading pretty slow, stupid wifi.

While the picture loaded I went to the kitchen to get a snack and a beverage, I was a little parched. Stepped outside to check my mailbox, it was beautiful outside but at the same time it had that eerie feeling in the air, something was off.

I walked back in and locked my door and went back to my laptop. The picture loaded. Looked like a neighborhood.

“What the hell?!” … I tried zooming in on the picture to see if I recognized anything but no luck, for some reason I couldn’t zoom in. So of course I had to respond back.

“Let’s see what we got here” I picked up the Daily News newspaper to see what important news I missed today. “Nothing new, terrible news every day, I hate reading about people dying”. I continued to flip through the news paper just to find something entertaining to read. “Ahhh yes the good ol’ comics. I love reading Garfield and Archie” ..

I was over the comics already, I was done reading the paper, closed it but something on the back page caught my eye.. A penpal page..

I didn’t even know these things still existed. I skimmed the page, alot of people from around the world still do this and now you can even do it over the computer, they give you their emails!! “Modern technology at it’s best!”.

“What?! Even in prison?, that’s crazy”.

I thought it would be interesting to email someone from a different country and get to know them. Maybe I’ll randomly pick an email and send them a message.

These emails were weird. GlorifiedGoreGod@gmail.com, TwinkleToesPetunia@yahoo.com, ImDrowningInBlood@hotmail.com, what the hell is wrong with people?! Not picking any of these. I kept looking for one that caught my eye. “MMyers31@gmail.com, hmmm this one sounds good since I love me some Mr. Myers haha”. I opened up my email to compose my first message to this unknown person. “Let’s see how this goes.”

This just happened today (5/16/2019).. at work I’m suppose to lock the bathroom door 10 mins before the bell rings, so I did that. Before I lock the door I always ask if someone is in the bathroom, if no one answers I then open all the stalls to double check. I asked if anyone was there and I heard a muffled “I’m bored”. I said “What?” Really loud, no response. I then proceeded to open the stalls and absolutely no one was there and no one was in the hallway either. WTF?!

My aunt, may God rest her soul in peace, laid to rest on May 10th @1am. Never knew that death, her death, would hit me so hard. I’ve been sluggish and down all weekend. I haven’t shredded a tear since Friday morning at about 6:35am. I’m trying to be strong and hold my head up high because my family needs someone to hold it down.

She lived with me my whole entire teenage life so we were pretty close. She saw me grow up and loved me very much. Not a day goes by that I dont think about her now but it shouldn’t be that way. As we get older we come to realize how important family is and should be. It’s our turn now to check up on our older families because before we even know it… they’re gone.

Love and cherish the people around you.. keep your family United. Don’t ever lose that closeness you once had, you never know what you have until its gone..

Sooooo… I went to go see Beetlejuice the play lastnight (5/8) and it was HILARIOUS!!! Everyone who likes the movie should definitely go watch this play! You will laugh from beginning to end guaranteed!

just watch this video if you’re having a bad day!! I laugh all the time!!

I woke up late last night (5/6/19) early morning .. it was 3:23am. I felt a breathing on my face, it was hot and smelly. I thought it was Emma (my daughter) who was awake for whatever reason and just decided to breathe on my face. She does do this sometimes but it’s rare when it happens.

I also thought it was my hubby. I thought I was sleeping facing him and his breath was hitting my face. I slowly opened my eyes and didn’t see anything or anyone there and the breathing stopped. I tried to adjust my vision to the dark a bit and still saw nothing.

I honestly couldn’t sleep after this. I was up for most of the rest of the night but surprisingly I’m not tired! Hope I could sleep tonight.. 😱
