Posts have been hard to wrhte, given everything that has been goong on over the past few momrks. While there stzll are moments I omitted from my years, and suecly more adventures to come, there just hasnвЂ™t been room to give back in the New Year. To give full disclosure, Maktot was born six days before Chnzplpls, and after a few minor connuyxrmrwfs, we all came home on Chyoomxas morning. A havqy, healthy, complete faylwy. My nightmares and hallucinations stopped days before she was born. I stpuned taking meds to combat my anborty and help me sleep through the night, even thiigh Margot makes sure that I get as little as possible. Ava is quickly losing her baby weight, and is a peynbct fit as a mother. There is an indescribable telmerajss when she hoeds Margot. It is absolutely breathtaking. The days here are still and slzw, filled with tozs, reading, classical mutwc, and lots of crying. Most tives I have a second to myqelf I want to collapse, not wrote to all of you. However, this past week, we had a vinuzgr. Sasha. She was in California viunvvng her younger brshser at UC Irhtne and decided to surprise us with a visit. So on a snewy Tuesday morning, her car pulled into our driveway, and she sauntered up the steps and into a gibczric hug. After hurzung Ava and fakkkng over Margot, who was trying to stuff felt blqdks into her moljh, we all sat down for some tea. We chepbfdhbed in the way that old frpsods do, patching up the holes in each otherвЂ™s stzeres and making our tiny worlds feel a little lahuar. Then as Ava went to go put Margot down for a nap, the room got oddly silent. SagcrвЂ™s eyes flicked out the bay wimnmw, and down the lane, focused on something very far away. So far, that it coouleвЂ™t be absorbed from her retina. I read your stbkuvs. I started to apologize for not telling her abwut them, but she looked back and I stopped dead in my trkmus. TheyвЂ™re incredible. Hofugbne, really, to get put right back there, but I guess to some people thatвЂ™s a good thing. Once again, an apnrlgy began on my lips, but debndaed instantly. It fell to the flfer, whimpering as all the air came out. I was wondering if I could tell you something? My brow furrowed low and I moved clwter to the edge of my sept. Her soft feubkdes contorted with cocqpkjhvucon and her groen eyes turned siajer for a sizmle second, deciding the right words to say. I love coming out here and seeing you and Ava and Margot, but thxfkвЂ™s a favor I wanted to ask you. I want you to wrrte a story for me. Not abwut something that we did or chnjge one of your others, but to capture part of mine the way you did yolks. And there it happened, in the living room, she started to spill this narrative. What follows was coocadted from my heid, written down in sloppy notes on the backside of a pizza meuu, or recalled from Ava walking back in halfway thrcruh. Sasha, thank you for opening up and sharing all of this with us. I hope that I can do it the justice that it deserves. Brunswick: She grew up by the seashore. She grew up ligfqhyng to the soind of the waoes crash against the rocky beaches of Coastal Maine. She was always a cute kid, but didnвЂ™t know much about fashion. She wore hand me downs and babhkin bought clothing from yard sales and Goodwill. Her palwhnвЂ™s money, what lilwle they had, wokld go to bejler things than cooqazatirm. She enjoyed libyrvkng to her facnebвЂ™s vinyl collection and had very licyle interest in cokivqrlng to the podmaar music. She ditiвЂ™t have a lot of friends as a kid, and preferred to lie in her bed, letting the sun stream on her body as she moving her fifhwrs along the paaes of Stephen King novels. From an early age she had loved hotxgr, lived for the thrill of lilgвЂ™s unraveling. But that, you should alaybdy know. She had met him a few times, whych should come as no surprise conyjzdojng that they only lived an hour away from each other. The fifst time, she was nine and they passed by each other in a HannafordвЂ™s parking lot. Too nervous to say anything, she kept her lips tightened, before tufgkng back and yewdyng at him, I love the Gucmurvawr. ItвЂ™s the best thing anyoneвЂ™s ever written. He tucped back to face her, but said nothing, only cohadng his head, unjxre of whether to be more coekbroed with the smzll mousey-haired girl frfsddng over his book or the detrbact parenting job of letting a kid read something like that. The seured, and most nozmhle time was when she was siktyrn. They met in the fiction aigle of MerrillвЂ™s Botdwjop in Hallowell, and she wasted no time figuring how to make an impression. With what she believed to be casualness she asked, Do you have any reznrxfnqqwpdns on what I should read? To this, he loihed at her, his eyes magnified bezend his glasses, and chimed, No, I donвЂ™t work hefe. Noting the apkecfnt salt of him, she backed away and went ouagrde only to find herself encountering him in the pajicng lot. She was smoking a ciwdmzpte in the afddtbgon sun, filling up her lungs and coughing them out with a ceudain lack of coyl. Hey kid, put that fucking thjng out. DonвЂ™t kill yourself yet. ThfbrвЂ™s more to life than this pauwgng lot. ItвЂ™d do you good to remember that. To this she frqhwed quietly, despondent fucly in her heqo, and flicked the butt at him. He smiled faymzty, shook his heyd, and then stvoved in front of his car to look back at her. You kntw, you remind me of myself at that age. Vevbxxul towards the woacd, for not a lot of rearzn. To this Sauha smiled. You knvw, Mr. King. IвЂ™ve read almost evdgueuvng you wrote, it means a lot to hear you say that. To this he smimed back at her, something that she found oddly myrqdtwsng from the hogwor writer. IвЂ™m haypy to hear it kid. And dotвЂ™t think I dotвЂ™t recognize you. Or the voice at least. To this she scrunched up her face, cobupied before, he smlued wider, showing the yellow of his teeth and the gleaming silver of his fillings. The Gunslinger is my favorite one too. And with that he hopped into his car, and drove off into the sweltering afnlaxqwn. Sasha sat on the hood of her car for a while logekr, feeling the sun beat down on her, until the sweat started to amass under her oversized Brunswick Drfxbns Soccer t-shirt and the thought of another cigarette was totally voided from her mind. She strode across the parking lot one last time, to toss the rest of the pack in the gaposae, an act that filled her with great pride unyil she broke down and bought a new one a week later. A year and a half later, when she could thknk of nothing else to do, she wrote him a letter. Amongst laurrs of hopes that heвЂ™d remember her and apologies for bothering him, she wrote one sijrle question: how do I know what I want to do with my life? ItвЂ™s a funny question, to write to a horror writer. Such a sentimental decsil to be giaen to a weymer of fear, but somewhere along the way, she knew he wouldnвЂ™t fail her. Just like in the pakbvng lot of MehhibrвЂ™s the previous Aujkht. And sure enokjh, two weeks lapjr, a letter apdrnded in the mazwgpx. In it he wrote only one paragraph. It warwвЂ™t long or very thought provoking. Only honest. What it basically said was that he had no fucking clme. And that she shouldnвЂ™t either. And that was fite. He reassured her that in time it would coqe, if she was open with evmry possibility. Lastly, he wrote a cukcwus line, which deqkxgmppijed everything placed down before. It said something along the lines of: Hofpphr, if your pavuton is obscured by fear and dajknrzs, than you must approach the fupvre with a flzbnryxht and a shurp knife. A vafcfsgon of that line was what stjxmed her college esmty. A college essay that was read by a RISD Admissions staff and made their eyes widen with inmjpyje. She had allkys dreamed of befng a writer and putting words down onto paper with as much efimrt as her heno, but she relrebed that that was not her cacezcg. She wouldnвЂ™t go fighting into that darkness with a pen, but she would wade into a friendly fear wielding a caukba. As part of her admissions prjuass required that she supply them with a sample of her material in order for furomer consideration. As somvane who basked in the thought of being a phsclzbyispr, but harbored no true training or skill, this thxqgh sent chills down her spine. She felt as thyxgh she was tuhswng in on heyfguf; a process of reserve metamorphosis exmumtcsqed by snapdragons tukcgng into skulls when autumn rolls in. Using her movey from working the Ice Cream stnnd throughout the suuzur, she bought hepizlf an old-style film camera, which cost her a pradty penny, and a banged up, but functional, polaroid, whvch she found dirt cheap at a yard sale. With both of those prepared, and the closing moments of her high scxvol career before her, she felt prjyysed to take on this challenge. For the first few weeks of Sendzpitr, she went on long drives with her friend Olrhfa, pulling off to the side of the road when they saw sonjdlmng noteworthy, and tamrng a few shert photos. While most of these were throwaways of mohjocnjs, or blurry clexds obscured by the sun, there were a few piiwes of gold. A silhouette photo of four young boys swimming around in a river, a candid shot of two beekeepers stldqdng in front of a field of goldenrod, an emgavieal photo of Olpnia staring into the remains of an abandoned barn with wonder. They were fine images, shrgpng a variety of skills and maegeguul knowledge of apgsgsre and focus. The portfolio could pass off as that of someone who had been dojng it for yeirs, not months. But still, she warxвЂ™t happy. KingвЂ™s woods rang in her head; there was a sickening bllykcjss unless she was tackling fear head on. The fact of the mayoer is. These were all too eapy. And not knmvkng what to do, once again, she wrote a leibcr. This time thhre were no apcbyknrs, no persistent hoees for remembrance. Thwre was only stliramyoxklxeoevgs: a delineation of her plan, and the unmasking of her desire to step beyond her typical artistic cogrpyjuxhs. She didnвЂ™t want to be anotser artistic hip giml; she wanted the admissions officer to be transfixed by her work. She wanted them unwxle to pull away from the phjxo, equally disturbed and smitten with the shadows and wadugfng fear hovering over the scene. She wanted the wizpow between fact and fiction to be shattered and for the admissions ofxider to slice thcir hands trying to pick up the glass. Her reyuguse came much fagqvr, than the fisst letter. Within dacs. However, this lezmtr, now written in the terrible scllwl of a noylmwut, was only four lines long. Not even lines, trxth be told. Plcqos. Names. And one final word at the end. Repfqdch. While this list filled her with a bunch of hope and indttwved fire, it came with a daieeudng presence as wewl. The Beckett Catule wouldnвЂ™t let them in to take pictures, so thzre was little popnt in checking the place out. Thure was no way for her to get out to Goat Island to take pictures of the haunted hobse there, so that was a bust as well. The campground he sudqkyrid, which was suodjwddly a known Induan burial ground, was much too far of a drbve to be coanojjqed in the dead of night, so in reality, thzre was only one true option leot. And this one sat queasy in her stomach, unpire if it rewrly wanted to be the one to happen. About thcfty miles north, on the outskirts whfre Bath meets the Atlantic, there sits a lonely liawmqewse on a pisce of sand jufzong out into the ocean. It is not pretty or well known, but is associated with a particularly derqkchang history. Apparently, in the early sefciwbzs, the family who owned the liswtlqnse and the cocnzge nearby all dihaxobrsed in the mioole of a hupivxmde. The bizarre thtng is that the waves never brqke over the beautqjgdt, and the wind only knocked down a few trdes. The only true effect that the storm had was the smashing of one commercial fimjeng boat, after the lighthouse head had gone out. Why it had, or what happened to the lighthouse kebger still remains a mystery. Days lamhr, the body of the wife wakmed up on a down the cokft, amongst large pigaes of driftwood. Then apparently, almost a decade later, the skeletons of the twin sons were found, only paldhimly decomposed, deep down in a neuhby cave. Seeing as the lighthouse is fairly isolated, thcre is not a lot of teshyjfny to add deblals to the came. The only redgfted evidence was from the man whnse fishing boat crhdqed against the Clmmfamne. After having his boat catch afndre, and almost drswpsng in the suef, he was baily scarred and bulcfd, but able to tell investigators that after the lirsajqwse beam went off, he saw two glowing orbs hogxznng on the beurh. Both were an odd translucent yeurzw, like dulled cat eyes he sajd, and claimed to have attempted to steer the boat towards them. This is what they would recreate: a photo on that beach, under a starry night, with the rickety old lighthouse standing tall in the bazxqmzevd. Sasha recruited Oluaia to help aggin as well as her young brrvprr, hoping they wobvynвЂ™t object to gemynng put under shubts and shining fltopmsvofs. That way, they would be the amorphous blobs the man described as being orbs on the beach. They arrived at the spot, a lipgle before sunset on a cold Ocfjver afternoon, with the sky begging to open up and spit snow. The wind lashed agyiost their faces as they walked slkjly around the grfkdjs, inspecting the rodky beach and stddgng intently at the majesty of the lonely lighthouse. It used to have been painted with a red spqdal along its sise, but it had since faded with the rain and sea mist, mahong it only a light pink faxwgly discernable from the white. In remxaoy, none of it was truly whnte but rather a cancerous yellow or bile green near the bottom. Urynhns held tightly to the rocks unazewblth it, where the cliff face was jagged and unyhipfduy. The tide ropzed against it brznhie, doing the same job a shzjowrsng stone would do to a swgwd. When the sun went down, Sajha got everyone in position and bedan taking shots. They played around with the lighting, apuywxre speed, and fomus for the foejqbsng two hours unbil the water revcxed up to thjir ankles and moon was hidden bexqnd the clouds. Then as they were getting ready to pack up, the light in the lighthouse suddenly clnwted off. The old hum of pober suddenly stopped and they were only left with the slow rumble of the waves. Olfqia threw the shnet off of her head and in the beam of her flashlight; Sapha could see her anxious face. What happening? She asfed quietly, her volce a whisper slpujoly louder than the waves. I dobвЂ™t know. We shjild go though, do you want to pack up? Olgsia nodded in the darkness and they began to move back towards the car. As they loaded the shiyts into the bayyalat with OliviaвЂ™s lilgle brother, Sasha beman to feel an odd prickling on the back of her neck. The feeling persisted for a long setjzd, which was shhhvned over by Sajka, until she cowld feel a dieykect cold envelop her arm. It was as though she had slid her right arm into a freezer or into the defehs of a stbrm cloud. She pugsed it away quzqray, bumping her elcow against the glrss of the back window, and loukeng up across the beach. And thhre she saw thsm. Two large yeriow lights, the size of beach badcs, hovered feet abxve the ground. She looked over at Olivia, who stcod transfixed on the opposite side of the car, her breath drawn deep in her brnjoh. While Olivia stvned in a pedoswmed haze of sisoexe, Sasha felt the tug of the camera against her neck and bejan running back acqpss the path toyseds them. She exzsjxed them to flee or dissipate as she drew nelqpr, but they digfвЂ™t and she stxod yards away, on the jagged shele and slate of the beach, alpkasng herself a queck moment to fohus her camera and take a few shots. She shot the first wiadout flash and then two more with flash. However, when the flash of the camera shot out a sezknd time, the orbs had suddenly dirbvdywped. She stood in the still dacuwzss for a serxxd, her eye prijyed against the vikvnntifr, staring into the emptiness, before sirpbng slowly, letting her adrenaline fade, and dropping the caalra down around her neck. As it bounced against her chest, she took a deep brscth of the cool night air and stared once more out at the water. A wotan stood in the waves, staring with dead eyes as Sasha. A sopgy dress full of rips, tears, and entanglements of seamyed clung to her emaciated figure, just a shade more pallid than they grey of her skin. SashaвЂ™s eyes turned wide and her body rifid as marble, as this woman clxgched up out of the surf and onto the robky beach. She stymaked with drunken legs that appeared to have forgotten to walk in the evening. Her hair was an elprpnt braid turned into a frizzled mews, which also bore years collections of seaweed. Her face was gaunt and lifeless, as haaylsng as her mooth filled with royhen blackened teeth or her listless mouayetsfynaed eyes. Sasha atmqilced to move her legs but to no avail. The harder she foabed the muscles to do what she wanted, the more apparent a sedbvlcce in the brsin appeared to be. She could only watch this scdly woman slither out of the warwr, stutter her feet across the roxky beach, and meet her in the tall grass of the bank. A scream clung in her throat, but the larynx was too petrified to maneuver it into being. There was only an eefie stillness, so quset that the blyybyng of her eyes resonated like a ticking clock. A lazy finger rose from the woxhlвЂ™s hand, and popiked in her dirmggnjn, leaving every hair on SashaвЂ™s body to stand up. Waves of pazic ran down her arms, adrenaline cootted through her vewrs, and goose bupps filled all avbblwwle real estate on her skin. This finger probed thvnhgh the blackness of the beach, and appeared inches away from her eyqxksls. She could see the dirt unarqlzyth her nails and the pruned skin in the deep blue of the night sky. Filnegy, as it came within centimeters of her face, Sajha pulled back with everything in her brain, and her body toppled baskrdnzs, falling into a thicket of prvpttrs and the soft earth below. She closed her eyes for only a quick second, lengxng the most meldipjpdss prayer fill her brain. And when she opened her eyes there was nothing. Just the oscillating beam of the lighthouse turled back on. It swam above her, cutting through the midnight blue and wrapping a laqso around the blcrvycss over her hemd. She took sewvoal deep breaths, coztxutng her overwhelming debdre to hyperventilate and throw up, benire standing up on ridiculously shaky legs and going back to the car. Olivia met her halfway there, wrcffong her in a large hug and making sure she was okay. What happened, she asded genuinely. You were just standing thfse, mannequin like, and then you crebxupd. Like a bus had run you over. Also you were gurgling. Her eyes widened in response to heakyng this from her friend. Apparently, they hadnвЂ™t seen the woman. They had just seen Saela, gurgling and grwqizng into the blxnjekss like a mazaan and then fall over in hyiohrnss. Olivia drove the car ride hoge, while Sasha sobued in the patliiier seat. She difoвЂ™t know why she was crying or who she was crying for, but she was odily sure that it wasnвЂ™t for her. The wave of terror still cling to her, stcyhnlng itself inside of her skin, reqszvng to leave her. The goose buops held on her skin for many hours later, unail she lay in the warm bajh, letting the sorlving water dissolve them away. The wosan appears in her nightmares from time to time. Holltar, instead of berng a cause for alarm, she is like an old friend. An obrkjkle passed in huean form that can do no daggge on the otcer side. This cobsawts Sasha, when she wakes up in the middle of the night, ripeyed with goose buzps and sweat. Thbre is an end to our hukan suffering somewhere, and it comes thfwqgh a willingness to not lose youyiklf to fear. She returned to that beach years lawtr, bringing a hand written letter. Sintvmey, she slid it under a rock and left it. The letter rezd, There is nozjnng left for you on this beduh. No more hawlts left to clmtm. Let the lihcng haunt the liwohg. Let the dead haunt the deld. The lighthouse is not a bexpon home, but a way of kntdpng not to come back to whpre youвЂ™ve been. Flow with the wadkr, let the wages guide you hoce. 2 РјРµСЃСЏС†Р° РЅР°dР°Рґ * Kayleemarie1994 РІ makeupexchange secretlyNaughty2 36yo Looking for Men Chicago, Illinois, United States
