As told by Jake Johnstone…
From the mind of a grief stricken one…
Jordan Pebblesmouth
” AVALANCHE “
” It’s just grief! That’s it! Grief! Funny thing is ‘ Good – Grief ‘ was the last thing I recall saying before I picked up the phone that day I got the call my Dad passed! Heat-stricken-lunch-ruined Wednesday November 9 2008 is the last time I remember any interaction with Dad. Dementia just took him but storage space lock wasn’t put on right? No big deal! ‘Let me eat’ so I ignore his 8 calls while I’m eating with then girlfriend Jasmine. Now married to Jasmine. That day after we both ignore multiple calls where I’m eating … someone, well an employee there … announces ” Is there a Jordan Pebblemsouth here?! ” so embarassed I just ran to my Volskwagen Jetta I had then … Put my lil’ earbuds in and called Dad … Mind the fact that he’s called 8 times already to my phone and Jasmine’s as well … Yet somehow he knew we were eating at local Panera Bread! Oh my god that was just so embarassing! Still trying to get over that … Not showing all the devil in the details in that haunting of a memory but … fast forward to now 2018 and the call I just received is my dad killed himself at the mental ward he was stationed at. Stationed? He was admitted! I’ll be frank here … Oh the horror I can’t understand … The devil was in him? I’m not even sure, but the dementia felt more evil … I just never wanted to believe it! None of it! Ignored anything mom would tell me before she passed from Lupus back in ’09! Just my sister Paige Mandy Pebblesmouth to try reason with me, or should I say inform me of the horrors in my Dad?! The devil is in the details I say! That saying I never could get! Sunshine left me … Sunshine left my presence about a year prior to this writing. Dark days make up the norm these days. Black shirts. Black pants. Black socks. Black shoes. Greys with baloon-bulletholed heads. I would call you crazy if you saw them … Yet my sister told me the following in a voicemail she left me just before my Dad’s suicide! … Sure enough I didn’t listen until after I found out my Dad died but … “
[ voicemail from Paige Mandy Pebblesmouth ]
Paige Mandy Pebblesmouth: ” Hey lil’ bro! Your older sis’ Paige here just informing you the devil is in dad! I know you won’t believe me; but an exorcism is what he needs! Please call me back as soon as you get this! I’ll explain all when you call! “
” Voice-mails are getting claustrophobic the way my phone’s memory couldn’t breathe. By the time I listen to the voicemail from my sister my thought is stuck on the 9-1-1 call the day Dad died … I’m watching tv but I wasn’t really watching … I just left it on that morning … abc Good Morning America I watched with breakfast before the 9-1-1 call … As I answer an avalanche is shown on the news to have wiped out 70 people! Confused; but grief stricken man is seen telling his memories of his friend ‘ Fiore ‘! …”

As told by Jake Johnstone…
The following story takes place at 3East Medical Mental Hospital Ward B:
” IN THE DISTANCE ” is … ‘Old Man’ Omar Pebblesmouth speaking the following over … and over …
” It sounds like a lure! It feels like a tap. I don’t breathe well anymore but … In the distance I’ve seen those deer! … In the distance I’ve felt the weak! “
Nearby Patient Ryan Osternophear: ” Give it a rest ‘Old’ Man! “
The patient Ryan couldn’t then stop what ‘Old-Man’ Omar Pebblesmouth does… bangs his head against the wall while shouting…
Omar Pebblesmouth: ” Fork Ma Ab Ja Spoon Da Da Ma Take Me! Please Take Me! ” (He Repeats) …
Omar Pebblesmouth: ” Fork Ma Ab Ja Spoon Da Da Ma Take me! Please Take me! “
No nurse could help Omar after that last repeated shouting as his head banged that wall to death. He somehow caved his own head/face in with so much force that by the time the orderlies got to Omar he was already flatlined.

As told by Jake Johnstone:
From the mind of a reflected thinker…
” Creepers Ignorant Nearby “
” In the distance behind me, that day was a struck driver! Struck with creepy ignorance if you ask me! ‘ 5 Miles Over Fiore’ is a nickname of a guy like me, but this isn’t his story… This is mine. No gold mine… just about mean people ” ” Oh those CiN Oh them behind me! Those creepers ignorant nearby me! Oh, how I just want them to be gone! ” ” That became a song of mine. Dine-ing became dreading for me … but the creepiness behind is not what makes sense. Bloody Jungle-Cats is how they act. Beneath the law … so … how do they work? They lie! This is how Ouija couldn’t fix these … ”

” Left Eye Deer “
Unknown No-Name Newscaster: ” What happened to you shortly after solving of a young man … or failure of such? … “
Joline Jillmannister: ” A ringing of a bell similar to a Hindu or Japanese monk’s temples … uh … gong sound I hear about 26 times every 26 minutes of every day now … Noises become claustrophobic thanks to one night … That one night changed me. L.E.D. An acronym I named. … Abbreviated for Left Eye Deer. The night the man has seen his future … every night I see Terraforms in dreamlands every eye in a vehicle’s high beam. Breathing ending, yet the earth is living? I see Mars! I see what was more than just insects flying on a red planet! Wounds became what … life felt like … A week feels like a month! An hour feels like a day. A day feels like a week! A second! Each second feels like a minute! Stress doesn’t define this! “
Unknown No-Name News Reporter: ” What defines this? … Um … please continue … Joline” … Joline leans forward resting her forehead in her palms …
Joline Jillmannister: ” I see frozen Antarctica but no ants! I feel… No! In these visions every time I close my eyes I dream when my head hits the pillow each night since that event … I see a head building pyramids with only the eyes’ then I awake! … ”
Unknown No-Name News Reporter: ” Are each dream different or very visible?” … ” … Joline! … “
Joline Jillmannister: ” Oh! My head is aching so bad! … Um … Where was I again?” …
Unknown No-Name News Reporter: ” You were explaining some dreams/visions you had after the night L.E.D. Left Eye Deer became … so … in … the … distance for you?” …
Joline Jillmannister: ” Well… to explain why I call it that would take a very detailed account. That’s fine here?!” …
Unknown No-Name News Reporter: ” It’s perfectly fine! There are 10 or 20 minutes allotted here left in the interview. Please! Continue. “
Joline Jillmannister: ” Ok. So … The visionary-style dream I had the night that man flatlined involved an accident. It was his accident in detail. Although my heart is jumping … racing … as I describe this … From the left eye like I was awake but in the dream and only my left eye mind you … My right eye was black but I saw a deer run to the vehicle but slower I saw it run to the point of no belief! No belief from any religion could understand what I have seen! The “deer” jumped more … then vanished into a yellow and blue light! L.E.D. … Left Eye Deer! … Extraterrestrials … ?Well … My grandma believed strongly in them, but … Oh this stinging headache is returning … ”
Unknown No-Name News Reporter: ” It’s ok … Please continue!”
[ Nearby fellow employee at News Station brings Joline a cold glass of water. As Joline drinks the water her stomach aches, but she slightly disregards this and then continues to try to explain!… more of her accounts/story ] …
Joline Jillmannister: ” To be translated is to be foreign, but foreign is all this is to me … Drug deals are constant in this world like popping bottles at recycling plants. Nothing is final! Dust on my nose feels like … crawling bugs but it’s just dust! … Floating like balloons? I’m not sure what defines me anymore! PTSD from the L.E.D. might just be what changes me! I’m not sure! I’m not sure! I’m just not sure!”
[ Joline then cries as she lays her forehead in her palms again! What happens next in this short story is a white GMC SUV with this license plate tag {1FD8667} then gets mentioned at an end before another beginning … ]
Unknown No-Named News Reporter: ” Can you be ok to continue Joline? “
Joline Jillmannister: ” … License tag reading [1FD8667] from Delaware hit that Deer?! Nope! That’s not right! After that deer run … Sorry! … Ran into the wormhole portal beam all my memory sees is this white GMC SUV with that plate # I, said driving to this ‘Old Man’ Omar Pebblesmouth but … first there’s a Ouija board in the trunk … [ Joline then falls forward and white foam runs out of her mouth! The no-named news reporter … says … ]
Unknown No-Named News Reporter: ” Joline! Joline! How are you so sure? Joline! Joline! ” …
[ As if this all was seen as a short film … A different EMT Jakelm (pronounced Jakeulm) Moore checks Joline’s pulse which is flatlined just like the driver … driven envisioned … To Be Continued in … IN THE DISTANCE BUT First … “Creepers Ignorant Nearby”]

From ‘ Nickel-Man ‘ Nick Andros’ Point of View: …
” Dead Dragonfly Luck “
” As I was telling my story … uh. I should say stories … well it’s a lot about one … This one is about [ D.D.L. ]! An acronym I gave it. Dead Dragonfly Luck I called it. D.D.L. became the abbreviation for what feels like my saving grace since the small age of 5! 5 years from that age on a day when the wind was slow and the birds were singing I recall a lonely black plastic bag just flying ever so carelessly. The music from a red pickup truck distracted me, but the box I had my dragonfly in was my lucky charm. At age 15 … I found flies on my head after I fell asleep while reading a story at the park one day I recall, but that nickel that I gave my Dad that day to buy the box for preserved dragonfly always saved me from getting into a pickle! … Age 20 … and fickel is far from your eyes to your foot how important this dead dragonfly is to me! Elegant like a white gold necklace purchase a mom could make for his son … At age 25 I recall no horrors to my memory but the dragonfly is always what did save me! … I am 46 now! … Age 30 is honestly what a grim reaper showed, but the D.D.L. always saved my life! … Age 35 … I just forget the moments … It’s like there’s a flash … like thangy from Men in Black movie … What was I saying again?” … … …

Jetta telling Ol’ wife of his Gretta this strange remembrance … memory … stream …
” R.B.B. [Road Ball Bounce] “
” Road Ball Bounce Day I call it! Not a terrific day I recall it! Just a day that had too much malarkey. Bologna! Too much nonsense I tell ya! Bologna! So… it all started with a George Clooney movie I saw at the local library hall that day. I leave and walk the whole way mind you … OK … Where was I? … “
” The George Clooney movie you left the library watching. A Red Ball Bounce Day you called it?”
” Ah! Yes! Now I remember … “
” The ball was red and the bounce was constant. Like a kid with no care for the wear, … I followed this red ball that was bouncing … all the way to Marks-Nicholson Street … “
” And … what happens next? … “
” … I continue following the red ball bouncing … “
[ Jetta says this while deeply concentrating leaning on his wrist … Snapping frozen out of it … ]
” I feel. I felt as if the ball captivated me frozen. I recall drowning. I know I didn’t but the red ball bouncing mesmerized me like I was teleported away from this reality. The red mist was. No the red in the vision was allowing me. No collection of a sense that is sensible I recall here Gretta … ” …
” Continue please Jetta! I’m honestly interested; captivated even!”
” Oh no, it’s fine my good honey! It’s just all so … unbelievable what’s in my memory banks on this red ball bounce?” …

From the mouth/mind of a robot named ” DreamMare/MareNight” …
” The Bad One told me sophistication, was I. I am a man. I am a speaker. [I am not a machine. I am a clone. (this is whispered)] … In comparison to other counties, there are no wings. Only worshippers of the sun. The sky. A beetle face on wings though. Isis resurrected me I was told. Osiris is a long-lost relative. To save the earth, or to harm the earth? Just a pillar. Isis manipulated Osiris through sophisticated means in a historical tablet. Deep in the sea … Deep in the sea there was a device dancing and singing. A whisker poked my face. A winged creature took me far away from this plane of existence … “
