As told by Jake Johnstone …
the title to this story will be centered and in bold after this intro/thought blurb from the main character … [also this includes rough draft pictures] …


My mind keeps stinging … My mind keeps ringing … Oh! The appliances … Oh! The medicine to heal Thy back! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, the glary vision. Oh. I must be tripping! 37. No Dental or Vision … !!! .??? My my my! Why the reoccurring hazy rainy vision … / .??? Days … The apparitions are … ??? Similar to the abrasions on the back … Togetherness is apart from the connections. 3 … but … that wasn’t me. Heard an electric appliance again …

” NERVOUS NERVIN ”
I told myself I saw zombies. I told myself I saw … monsters. I told myself I saw ghouls … and they were talking to fiends … I told myself I saw aliens … I told my Dad. He beat me when I was little … ” Stop telling lies Nervin! ” … I wore long sleeves to school so my being a fool-telling the truth … getting beat by my Dad-scars show on my skin. From deep within things felt insidious but my Mom Elise told me it was all nonsense. All gibberish. All malarkey, bologna, and the like. I’m 42 years of age. I hear constant grinding and little squirrels sneezing, but I must tell myself these are not real. My Dad died last year, but I never visited the funeral. My mom died too, dog Roger, a pet lizard when young, but numb should be the norm right? I can’t lay down without getting up. I can’t get up from that first 5:00 am wake, and my head falls forward flat forehead in palms I go. I wear shield-patched embroidered work uniforms but just a Nervous Nervin the great maintenance supervisor of a local elementary school? Nervous Fool! Nervous fool I feel. A reel from an Indiana Jones movie looked more real. Teal colored, but a color is a mood. A color is a mood alright!!! … A color is a mood!!! My color is blue? Who? …
