Now is Not the Time to Politicize the Tragedies That Have Happened Inside This Haunted House


In wake of recent events, my thoughts and prayers are with the victims who went missing after our group split up inside the abandoned house to find any valuable heirlooms that had been left behind after the late homeowner died under mysterious circumstances. This tragedy is unspeakable, because many of our mouths have been sealed shut by some otherworldly substance, and I send my warmest condolences to whichever dimension our friends’ souls are tethered to.

Right now is a time for consoling the survivors, and mourning the loss of our beloved companion, who told us that she didn't believe in ghosts, right before a phantom emerged from a dusty hallway mirror and pulled her into it. We will never forget the terrified look in her eyes as she pounded her fists on the glass that she was trapped behind. My thoughts and prayers are also with the couple who we heard screaming in what we believe was the very bedroom where the dead body of a priest was found, his lifeless hands clutching an amulet of unknown origin, according to local legend. I'm sure it can't be easy knowing that one of the most attractive members of our group has gone missing in the old library, but I hope that you will take solace in the fact that even in the most crushing darkness, light will always find a way to shine through (specifically in the form the two glowing, sinister specks that have seemed to follow us - like the eyes of a hungry creature - ever since the front door slammed shut behind us).

There is a time and place for a political debate, but now is the time to unite as explorers of this seemingly empty mansion. Out of respect for our friends, it would be inappropriate to discuss our method of escape, or what we should do to to appease any supernatural forces that lurk behind these walls.

We are currently looking around the old library for any messages etched in the furniture, glowing orbs that may contain our friends’ trapped souls, or trapdoors concealed beneath oriental rugs. A motive behind the tormented spirit at work in the haunted manor is yet to be discovered, so it would be premature for us to discuss any group rules when we don't know whether we’re being terrorized  by the reanimated skeleton of a long-dead matriarch, the vengeful ghost of one of the former servants, or a deranged, lone ghoul who is compelled to consume the flesh of the first living being it came in contact with.

May the spirit of adventure be with you as we accidentally pull a lever when we remove a book from the large shelf in the far corner of the room, revealing a secret passageway that leads to a spiral staircase made entirely out of stone. Thank you, and God bless America.

10 Pictures of Dogs That Will Make You Say "This Idiot Doesn't Know What Dogs Are"

Dogs: gotta love them, right? I can remember the first time I saw a dog, I said: "Wow, look at that dog, which I know is a dog because I know what dogs are!" While some dogs do some things, there are other dogs that do other things. But when it comes down to it, all dogs are one thing: and that thing is that they are all dogs. Here are some pictures of dogs: 1.) Clifford the Big Red Dog We've all heard of Clifford the big red dog, right? This is a picture of something big and red, therefore it is a dog. 2.) A dog and something else! I love it when dogs are in photos with other things! There are two things in this photo, one of which is not a dog, the other of which is a dog! 3.) More dog! Wow! Look all that dog! 4.) A dog doing what dogs do! Now that's a dog if I ever saw one! Which I have! 5.) Statistically, one of these has to be a dog. This is harder than I thought it would be. 5.) It's a dog eat dog world. Maybe a dog is hidi...

My vacation!

I don't get to travel much, but when I do I never know the best way to share my journey. Twitter doesn't give you enough characters, and Facebook is too filled with political posts these days. Instagram banned me for direct messaging photos of my feet to celebrities, so I decided to share my adventures on my blog. I hope you enjoy! Have you ever seen anything so stunning? I haven't because my eyes melted. When I arrived I was immediately taken aback by the view! While I had heard that the scenery would blow me away, I didn't think that my skin would literally fall off of my bones! Found some unwelcome creatures where I stayed... I wish the hotel I stayed at had called an exterminator before I arrived... yuck! The facility was otherwise fine (though the pool of eternally burning fire could have been a little bigger), but I CANNOT stand finding critters where I sleep. I'm sure you wouldn't be able to sleep either if you had these guys crawling under your...

My coming out post

This is difficult. I’m not usually vulnerable on here, but I need to talk about something. After being in the closet for so long, it’s time for me to speak my truth. As a writer, this blog is the best place for me to do that. And I really appreciate YOU for reading this. Being in the closet is in no way a fun experience. When you have no one to talk to it’s easy to shut down, to get lost in your thoughts. For that reason, I have a lot of pent-up emotions... soI’ll try to not write too much! I feel like I’ve been in the closet forever. But when it really comes down to it, I’m the same person I was when I was trapped in there. “Trapped” might seem like a strong word, but I assure you, I do not use it  lightly. When I was in the closet, I truly felt that I would never get out - and that often led to despair. Despite all this, I have no regrets - because coming out has only made me stronger. I cannot write this post without thanking my support system: my friends and family. Thes...

Summer Fun on a Budget

In case the several gallons of sweat drenching the inside of your astronaut costume hasn't told you yet, SUMMER IS HERE! For some that might mean several weeks of traveling, but for those of us who don't work for a pirate that pays us in treasure chests, we don't have a ton of time or gold coins to traverse the seas. If you fall in that category, like I do, this list will hopefully give you some valuable tips to enjoying your summer without breaking the bank. 1.) Discontinue the zero-tolerance illegal immigration policy. I don't know about you, but criminalizing people who try to get from one country to another is my least favorite thing about summer (or any season). Why not end this by getting rid of this discriminatory policy in the first place? Put on one of those old sundresses or some flip flops to look extra cute while doing it! 2.) Stop separating families at the border. Did you know that you can ride a roller coaster or go to a water park to hear scr...
