Nursery Rhymes

       Ever wonder where children get those melodies they sing? Where did they all first come into being? It is quite difficult to explain, but every popular nursery rhyme and Children song have a certain... past, so to speak. From Ring around the Rosie to Adventure Time's Cloud Hunt.

        They all talk about doom and death, disasters and diseases, misfortunes of humanity and the cruelties of existence. But how is it that children have been able to change it all into songs that can be make others go into cheer? What is it about those little ones that make the atmosphere so pleasant?

         I was also interested in finding the answer to this. Luckily for me I have 5 year old sister, Sarah. She always sing "The London Bridge is falling down" in such a way that can make everyone around her smile and laugh at the cuteness, even if the song was about a bridge that was going to collapse, no matter what anyone was going to do about it.

         I then confronted her after she sung about "The Three Blind Mice". For those who don't know, that songs actual meaning was about three noblemen who denounced the queen, who was nicknamed "Bloody Mary", for enjoying the killings and tortures of other people. They were then prosecuted and carved to bits and pieces.

          "Why do kids like you love singing those songs of terror?" I asked with a hint of concern. She is my sister after all, and I would be damned if I allowed to her to continue singing those songs without knowing what they truly mean. She just laughed at me in that cheerful comic way.

"I don't know." Was her answer. But I noticed it, that slight tremor. Her body shook so slightly that I almost missed it. Also for a split second, her eyes held a bit of sadness in it. It was then I knew that she knows more then what she is saying.

"Sarah, tell me the truth." I calmly said. I certainly did not know what was going to happen next, and surely did not expect her to sing... But she did sing another nursery rhyme, though this one I am not quite familiar with.

Mary Mary quite contrary,

How does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockleshells

And pretty maids all in a row.

I then looked this up on the internet... and the meaning frightened me. It was a song about tortures and corpses being buried in graveyards in England, which back then were nicknamed "Mary's Garden". I then started noticing a pattern.

Almost every popular nursery rhyme had "Bloody Mary" in it...

The War God

Have you ever wondered why humans have always resorted to violence on almost every occasion?


Well, I suppose you have heard of... The War God? 


You haven't? Are you sure? Well it appears I have some explaining to do. There is a reason why everyone has that random urge to hurt others, to cause bloodshed, to harm anyone or anything in any way possible. You probably are having some homicidal thoughts right now. Don't deny it, I can see it as clear as day. Soon one day you will succumb to the influence. No one has ever escaped it, nor ever will. You think your pacifist neighbor is as innocent as he appears to be? He has already done some unthinkable acts. If you don't believe me, then look in his closet or basement. You will see what I mean...


Anyway, going back to the subject at hand, The War God is the one who is responsible for all that has happened in the years, ever since the creation of man.


The sacking of Rome and Constantinople, The destruction of Ancient Egypt, The Death of the Mayans and the Incas, The Mongolian Expansions, Ivan the Terrible's reign of fear of death, The missing second Roanoke Colony, Loading trade ships with plague rats to begin the Black Plague, The burning of London, All the Wars in human history, And every other acts that have caused destruction and grief are from the Influence of the War God.


How do I know this, you ask? Why, is it not obvious?


Who do you think you have been talking to all this time?


Heh Heh. Well I will see you soon. Goodbye.

Winter Flower

If you go down to a river on a cold winter night that is just at -40 degrees, not more, nor less, you will see a flower on the riverside. Pick it up. You will know Instantly if it's not a regular flower. It's going to have pure white petals, so it will be hard to see, with a red spot in the middle, a black stem with small grey letter on it. It will tell you the date, though it will be in a language no one has ever seen or heard of before. So don't try to decipher it just yet.

If the river is frozen to ice, then cross it while clutching the flower to your heart. If it isn't, then pray for a swift death, for Mother Nature isn't very kind to those who kill one of her offspring without purpose.

While you cross it, you must recite the words over and over again until you make it across safely: "We are Unity. We are Legion. We are One.". If you have done it right, then you will feel a slight burning feel go throughout your whole body. Though in this weather, it would feel great.

When you look back at the flower, you will realize that you can read that foreign language now. It's going to tell you the day of your death.

And from now til you die, you will experience changes within you. You will get stronger, faster, even more so then you ever thought possible. Your appearance will change into a more pale complexion, and your teeth will develop fang-like features. 

You will be cast out like a monster from your own people. Your friends and family will spite you. Heaven will turn its eyes from you, as will Hell. You will have nowhere else to go, but the river from where you picked the flower. Be sure you return there at the same temperature of -40 degrees. Be sure you bring the flower with you.

If you want to stay the way you are, then you must shout to the sky "Praise us, for we are unified!". Afterwards, an extremely beautiful creature will appear next to you, with the almost same characteristics as you. This will be your new soul mate, and you both will remain in total matrimony until the day of your death.

However, if you don't say anything, but simply walk across the river again, peeling off the flower petals one by one until you cross, you will feel pain inside you. It will continue until you cross and pick the last petal off. At last, after what seems like an eternity of pain, you look into the reflection and you return as yourself again. But you will no longer be allowed to return to that river.

All will have complete disdain for you, and you will return to a life of depression and despair, until the day of your death.

Will you tempt Mother Nature?

No Escape

Their here... Their coming for me... I just want to go home.

Oh god I feel so alone. There is no way out for me. I've tried everything, even going as far to slit my throat... but as always they have intervened. They no doubt want to savor it. Just wanting to take pleasure in my fear and the fact they will be the ones to decide when I die...

Their whispers have been echoing in the room since day 1. I don't even know how I got in here... I was just there. I see them occasionally, when they torture me, which is what happens most of the time. Also when they give me something to eat, not a lot, but just enough to keep me going. I've tried to starve myself but they forced it down my throat.

The taste of the crap feed me is vile, and taste strikingly similar to raw flesh, almost like sushi you get from Japanese restaurants. Except this felt more gristle and tougher then most other meats I've tried... I know what it is, but I just can't bring myself to say it. I know, it's horrible just to even think about.

The sad thing is, my sanity is almost completely wiped out. Guess that explains why I am talking to myself, huh. There just... isn't anything else I can do at this point but just accept it. This... this room right here, is my last place I'm going to be in for a while. Pretty cruel, ain't it?

Humanity is cruel actually. Those bastards... They just enjoy themselves doing this to me. I don't even know why. They just laugh and laugh... and that goddamn whispering follows them wherever they go. If you have ever seen the movie "The Crazies", their even more insane then the infected.

I... don't understand any of this... I don't know why... Why did this happen to me? I'm just a kid, not even 18 yet. I just want to see my friends again... I wanna see my family... my mom and dad...

Please... Just let me go...

The Last Stand

Well, this is it. Nothing can save me anymore. My sanity is almost gone.

I have started writing this because I didn't want the pain I went through to be in vain. I don't want the pain of my friends and family, nor their deaths to be in vain... I sure as hell wouldn't want hers to be in vain either...
Your probably the only one with a fighting chance right now reader. We tried to do what we could... Yet it was all futile. My brother is dead, so is Matt ans Michael... and Shelby... God how I miss them...

I'm uh... I'm losing track here with this. I don't have much time right now. They will find me soon. As I was saying, your the only one who can do this, my friend. You have to end this. They have to be stopped... God I wonder who was the stupid bastard that let them out.

13 Days ago, a government secret was let out. Their genetic experiments, their tortures they have committed on unsuspecting criminals, which I don't have any opinions for or against it. But what really had me going was that they were attempting to make Life... Yes... Life.

When I heard about this, I was pretty psyched. I mean cmon, who wouldn't be excited, and maybe a little freaked out, if someone made a successful attempt at creating life? It's almost as if Frankenstein was coming true. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out as well as the higher ups have planned... God I hate the idiots who even thought it would be a good idea to make them...

I saw them 3 days after news was leaked. It wasn't in person, mind you. No, that wouldn't come just yet. It was in a photo, and I gotta say, they looked... weird. Not weird as in scary weird, not just yet. But rather weird as if they were... sort of like us. Not exactly like us, a few extra limbs here and there, a muscled body, no hair, but rather a really shiny bald head.

The captivating thing about the creatures would have to be the eyes.. or the lack of them. It was just darkness in there, an abyss of pure unadulterated nothingness. I couldn't see any emotion in the photo... Just them staring... waiting...

I'm getting off topic here. After the media was spewing about them, there were some people who wanted to kill them all, not leave a single trace. They argued about the dangers that could be brought by them, and why putting them down was the best solution. Of course, most of humanity being absolute idiots that they were, thought that the creatures had potential. Something that can be used as servants, cannon fodder for the army, the heartless shit. They should have killed them when they still could... Instead of becoming their chew toys in the end.


It was after they were let out the terrible things started happening. Maybe they were let out because people were confident that they can be trained to follow their commands. I'm not sure. They attacked and killed everyone in the room. The media tried to hush everything up but people found out. The internet is very useful I guess...


Me and my friends and fiancee tried to ward them off. Oh how we tried... but as I said earlier, it seemed God wasn't on our side that day. They killed us off in the most inexplicable tortures anyone can think of. I'm only still alive because I had the sense to get out before I was going to be another blood splatter on the wall... but they are coming... I can feel them. I can hear them out slowly coming up to the door where I'm hiding. Their shambling steps... Their toying with me, I can tell that's what they were doing. Like a cat playing with it's food.


Now that you know, don't be an idiot. Barricade the doors, seal the windows shut, hoard up as much food as possible, because soon their gonna come looking for you now that you've seen this. They will know who you are. They will trace you back to where you are... I'm sorry... I am so sorry... But this is something I had to do. When you see them you will understand...
