I wrote this a couple of years ago- and it’s one of my favorites because of the two nameless ‘characters’.
I don’t where they came from but I like them-they’re bone chilling.
With that….
Enjoy!

There’s something buried in the Gardener’s Shed and why would someone bury something that wasn’t dead yet?
The thing in the shed isn’t buried very deep, so if you were to crawl over the dead fall in front of the door and were able to push your way through he matted cobwebs and you didn’t mind the smell of rotting leaves and small unburied creatures you’d find there under the window a slightly raised mound of earth.
Were you to look at the raised mound long enough and the light somehow managed to find it’s way through the little panes of glass covered with dust and dirt you’d think someone was lying there on their side with one arm cradling their cheek and the other laying comfortably on their side.
Wouldn’t you?
If you brought a flashlight and the beam was bright you might think you could see something wrong with the entire left side of the sleeping figure’s face. You might think that maybe that the face was gone, smashed in by something like that shovel in the corner.
Isn’t that right?
They might wonder what you were doing back there in a rotting shed behind the Manor House in the dead of Night, they might see you take the shovel and try to smooth and pound that little raised mound of Earth flat.
That’s what they’d see wouldn’t they?
So I must ask you again, why would you bury something that is not dead yet?
Go ahead you can tell me.
Just keep your hands were I can see them.
This version of ” Sleepless In Seattle ” would have made me proud to be from Seattle- ( sob ) where have all the good ideas gone?

I love the Macabre and in honor of this site hitting 666 I’ve posted one of the most devilish scenes from one of my favorite movies….no I tell a lie
it IS my favorite movie-

I wonder
why
in action and adventure movies
like Gladiator
and
Rob Roy
always
kick off the
‘ Heroes Journey?’
I wonder
why
are always twenty something
girls
with twenty something
waistlines
and
how come in
Star Wars
which
“borrows its themes and fight scenes so obviously from samurai and kung-fu flicks“
do we never see an
actual
Not Even
a pretend one?
I just wonder
why.

Lizzie Borden- she was a woman- she was a killer -and she got away with two of the most hands on brutal killings in American History.
To refresh your memory, Lizzie lived in a state where ( in 1692 anyway ) you could just accuse a woman of being a witch and have her executed…just like that.
Another thing to keep in mind is that in 1892 women ( including Lizzie ) didn’t even have the right to vote-
that didn’t happen until 1920.
Anway- I think she did it but to this day Lizzie has her supporters and they say she’s innocent.
One of the arguments in her defense- which I think underscores the fact that Lizzie was found innocent because of her sex- was based on the time lines established for the killings.
Lizzie’s Stepmother was supposed to have been killed an hour or so before her Father.
The theory is that it was very unlikely that someone ( like a WOMAN ) who inflicted that kind of damage on a person with an AX could have left a dead mutilated body upstairs and gone on with her day and then come back later and did the same to someone else.
Have you ever seen the pictures of Andrew Borden?
Whoever did that was good and angry, they had worked themselves up into a mindless rage and that kind of rage can happen in the blink of an eye or it can build up…
say…
over an hour or so.

La Llorona (the crying woman) has terrified Hispanics across the United States and Latin America for over five hundred years.
Now here is your chance to meet her-
Bernadine Santisteven director of “The Cry” a supernatural thriller based on the Latino legend of La LLorona ( the Crying Woman ) told me that her film will get it’s chance to shine at the upcoming New York Latino Film Festival in New York City.
The time and date are tentative – July 25th at 7:00pm. Bernadine advised that people should email the festival directly at Info@
NYLatinoFilm.com and ask for screening information on The Cry.
In the mean time you can visit her very sleek new website for the movie by clicking here and you can read a very wonderful article she wrote about making The Cry for Anita’s Owl Creek Bridge here .
And you can get a very sweet taste of the film here .
Just remember as you go through these links and watch the trailer-
La Llorona is real-

When I was about 9 this little girl named Carla used to follow me around school and chant, ” Anita is a black cat sitting on a Cadillac…Anita is a black cat sitting on a Cadillac. ”
She would stand there in front of me at recess or in front of my desk in class and put her hands on her hips and shake her butt from side to side and chant that damn car slogan over and over again.
Once I asked why she was doing this and she told me it was ” because you’re a black girl ” ( actually I was an Asian Girl but Carla was on her way to being an equal opportunity bigot so brown was brown to her ).
Finally I get sick of this ( mostly because Carla was turning this concert she treated me too into a full blown musical and had her friends joining in ) and I go to my teacher and tell on Carla and what she said and had been doing
What my teacher said will stick with me forever.
She said, ” Anita you are different, you’re going to have to learn to have a sense of humor about certain things.”
I have a sense of humor…and I still don’t think this was funny.
What happened to Carla and my teacher?
I don’t know…so many people wearing hoods over their heads so little time to look under them all.
