  A Date With Death

  Rapper Mack Daddy was the label's golden boy his last three CD's all went triple platinum, Larry Taylor was a ladies man and he knew it, women would faint and throw there panties at him when he was in concert. He was definitely into himself and he had made his startling success rapping about a subject he loved Death.

  One night at his triple platinum party given by the record label for him. You know I am tired of these party DJ there all the same! The same video freaks,the same wanna be's and the same old groupies! I know but you had to come to this party Larry you know the label felt it was important for you to be here! DJ, Donnie Jones was Mack Daddies manager the only real friend Larry had and the only person the rapper trusted. Can I get a autograph Mack Daddy! Man I am so tired and bored with this! Give the girl a autograph Larry remember they are the reason your a platinum selling artist! Can I take a picture with both of you? Go ahead Larry! So Mack Daddy,The girl fan and DJ took a photograph together. As they took the photo lights flashed from seven or eight cameras as other reporters took advantage of getting a picture of the king of death rap Mack Daddy.

  That picture is going to be all over the country by tomorrow! DJ laughed. Boring! Larry you need a vacation it seems like everything bore you! The next day in the studio Larry works on his new album " I was born to die, I cant wait to die and every morning when I wake up I hope some body try" That's dope Mack Daddy you got another hit I feel it! The engineer tells Larry. Have you seen this morning's paper your on the front page they did a article on you about your lyrics and how it effects young people! Let me see that? This article is full of it,do I look like a role model? DJ laughs. Man all publicity is good publicity but did you check out ole girl that was next to you I don't know how I missed her! Wow! she is baaaaaad! she wasn't in the picture last night I did not see her! I wont to meet her DJ find out who ole girl is! I'll try! Hey did you hear that Bruce in the A& R department died last night right at the party? No we left early I didn't know sorry to hear that! Larry gives his condolence. Yeah Bruce was cool that comes as a shock! DJ replies.

  Over the next two weeks Larry Mack Daddy Taylor became obsessed with the girl in the picture looking at her everyday in the picture and sweating DJ all the time to find her. Man I looked all over and asked everybody I knew that was at that party and nobody seen that girl there, it's like she doesn't exist! She exist you see her in the picture don't you? If you can't find her maybe I need another manager! What are you talking about Larry your going to fire me over some party girl that nobody has ever seen or heard of? Just Find Her! After DJ left, I must find her I have fallen in love with a girl that I have never met, I don't even know her name Larry Thought to himself. After another two weeks still no luck. It's no use Larry that girl doesn't exist I have talked to everybody on the club set in Hollywood! Then your fired I will find her myself! And Larry looked all over Hollywood for the mystery girl but still he was no closer than when he first started. Larry began missing studio sessions and tour dates looking for the girl,he hired a detective to find her and he brought in twenty girls that resembled the one on the picture but all turned out to not to be her. Finally Mack Daddy ran a full page ad in the LA times offering fifty thousand dollars to anyone who knew who she was and how he could contact her. Early one Monday morning at Larry's Hollywood Hills home,Special delivery. Thanks! Its from the label I wonder what this is about. Wow they have suspended me they say until I come to my senses.

  Later that evening Larry was up until two in the morning drinking at his favorite watering hole on La Brea. Let me get one more? That’s it Mack Daddy it's after two o clock! Listen man I am tired of waiting I want my cash tonight! he was sobered up a bit by two guys arguing at the entrance of the bar. Man forget it I know your not going to pay me I'll just handle it my own way! Larry walked out of the club the same time the guy that was accused of owing money did and as they stood briefly next to each other Larry saw the girl. It's her I can't Believe It and when he turned to get her attention a black Cadillac drove by and sprayed a volley of bullets right at him the other guy and the girl,the guy that owed money lay on the side walk dead,shot multiple times. But the girl was gone. I can't believe I wasn't hit this must truly be my luck night I avoided death and I am not going crazy that girl is real I just seen her. Larry drunk barely made it back to his home and instead of parking his car in the garage the way he normally does this time he just parked in the front and as he got out of the car he was totally shocked there was the girl getting out of a red corvette right across the street from his house.

  Excuse me sir could you help me my key seems to be stuck in my car door? Gladly! You live here? Yes I moved here today! I have been looking all over the world for you and you move across the street from me WOW! Of course you have been looking for me Larry come in please! You are very persistent,you refused to give up so I finally decided to let you find me! You mean you knew? Of course I knew, I was at that party that night for some one else somehow that camera caught me that has never happened before! But I saw you at the club tonight too, it looked like to me you got shot but then you were gone! Ill explain all that to you in a minute, but first I want you to do something for me! What! Ill do anything for you! Take a look in the mirror! A mirror why do you want me to look in the mirror? You'll see and remember that all of this was your doing, not mine you searched me out! I know you have fallen in love with me and that's very strange because I have never ran into anybody that loves me! And that's why I came tonight, long before I should have to have this date with you! But Look in the mirror please? No this is crazy, I know I don't look like this, this must be some type of trick mirror. Larry Looked Dead.

  It's no trick! And then he begins to shake in horror. What are you doing? I am taking off my mask! So you can see me as I really am, remember I am your date for the evening! And once she completely removes the mask, she was a skeleton. Now do you understand Why I was so hard to find, I was at the party to get Bruce I had a date with him, and tonight at the club I had a date with the guy you saw me with! As for you it was not your turn tonight,but you rapped and talked about me all the time, you loved me so and tried so hard to find me, that here I am so kiss me and lets go! Your Death NO! NO! I gotta get out of here let me out! What a way to treat your date and after going through all that trouble to find me, It's no use Larry let's go! I am not sure what happened officer Larry was in here getting his last drink before closing two guys were arguing and about the time he went out the front door I heard gunfire and when I came out to see what happened Larry and the other guy was laying here dead.

  It Came From The Lake

  In a small town in North Dakota it had become a boom town, oil had been struck in the area, bringing two large oil companies for drilling. The oil companies were using a fairly new technique to reclaim the oil its call Fracking.

  The small town citizens felt they could put up with the loud noise and explosions,if it meant a steady stream of high paying jobs. Leroy and Johnny both worked in the oil fields driving water trucks they were making $50.00 a hour so they had no complaints.

  One early Saturday morning both were off of work so they decided to go fishing in the lake in the backyard of Leroy's house.

  Bobby Lee told me he caught twenty Bass in the lake last weekend. Leroy tells Johnny.

  I have been hearing the same thing, do you think it's from Fracking that people are all of sudden catching a ton of fish in this lake.

  Johnny asked Leroy Possible the Fracking could have caused a crack underneath the lakes floor that may have brought in all the new fish. Leroy explained.

  By noon the pair had caught ove
r thirty fish and was just about to call it quits when Leroy shouted look at this!

  Will you look at this! Johnny leaned over the boat watch Leroy reel in his catch, it was weird. He pulled in what looked like a jet black baby Octopus. Once he had the strange creature on board his boat, he reached up to take the hook out of one of his tentacles, once he removed the hook the creature latched onto his right hand.

  Leroy felt a burning sensation as if he was being cut. AAHH this Damn Thing Is Biting Me,Help Me Get It Off! I am trying Leroy stand still. The more they tried to pull the creature off of Leroy's hand the more the creature latched on and the more pain Leroy felt.

  Once Johnny realized the creature was totally stuck on Leroy's hand.

  Hey we need to get you back to house to get something to pull this off your hand!

  Leroy Moaned in agony as it watched the black Octopus type creature tighten it's grip.

  You gotta get it off! You gotta get it off me now!

  Calm down we will be back to the house in a minute.

  Once back at Leroy's cabin type home.

  Get him some water Maggie Johnny tells Leroy's wife.

  Leroy sets on the living room couch now screaming in pain. It keeps tightening around my hand and I can feel it chewing on my hand You gotta get this thing off of me!

  The pain was to much for Leroy and he passed out.

  Call 9/11 Maggie!

  While Maggie called emergency, I picked up Leroy's lifeless body and drug him to his bedroom bed.

  I have called 9/11 they should be here shortly Maggie called from the front room.

  Good Johnny replied,he is sort of pale. At least the Paramedics will know how to get that thing off his hand.

  Maggie and Johnny discussed what happened to Leroy in the front room while they waited for the Paramedics to arrive. Leroy lay asleep in his bedroom.

  What is that thing Johnny!

  I don't know Maggie it looked like a baby Octopus that had been covered in oil! Sirens blared as the paramedics approached.

  He is in here Johnny told the arriving paramedics!

  The two paramedics and Johnny entered the room.

  What the ??????! Johnny yelled.

  Leroy was gone all that was left on the bed was the slimy residue of the lake creature.

  Maggie came in and looked down at the bed and began screaming Leroy! Leroy were is Leroy!

  Johnny tried to comfort her as they inspected the bedroom they noticed the window open and a slime trail covering the window pane. It looks like it went out side!

  Johnny and the two paramedics rushed out side and was terrified by what they saw, the Octopus like creature had devoured Leroy and had grown to be at least 6 feet tall.

  One of the paramedics walked closer take a better look and the giant tentacles of the creature snapped out and attached itself to the medics chest.

  The man screamed in anguish, the tentacle pulled him to the creatures mouth and it began eating him. Crunch!Crunch!Crunch! You could hear the medics bones crushing.

  Johnny ran into the house and got Leroy's shotgun and began blasting the creature.

  The creature squealed and made a mad dash for the lake, Johnny kept reloading the shotgun and firing but the creature made it back into the lake and disappeared.

  The next day the Sheriff’s department brought out a net and drug the lake all day to try and catch the creature but they found nothing. Later that evening at Leroy's house. Maggie! The oil money that has come to this town has been both a blessing and a curse the money is good but the Fracking and oil spills have really messed up the sea life around here.

  Hitchhiker

  In Rohnert Park California three good friends went to Sonoma state college, Lonnie,Teal and Kurt. They were middle class yuppies each one of their families were well off and all three had the best of everything.

  One Friday afternoon right before sundown the three were at Lonnie's apartment trying to think of something to get into for the evening.

  Lonnie I am telling you it wont take more than a half a hour for us to go up the hill grab a few plants and be back to have a major smoke out for the evening.

  Rohnert Park is known for it's mountainous areas with acres and acres of fertile ground, the surrounding area has long been used for growing high grade Marijuana.

  I don't know Kurt I heard a lot of stuff about traps being up there.

  Man don't worry about that, my boy 2 Blunts went up there last weekend and came back with almost three pounds of high grade green. Lonnie and Teal got to thinking hard about what Kurt was saying, if they could get even one pound that would be a lot of weed to party on and they could sell some too. The two thought.

  Okay let's wait until it gets dark and run up there and snatch a few pounds! Lonnie laughed.

  A about two hours later they began the trip up the winding mountain roads that would lead them to the field Kurt's friend 2 blunts had told him about.

  Man it's dark up here!

  Turn on your brights! Lonnie said from the back seat. As Kurt turned on the lights to the white Range Rover. Hey look it there! look on the side of the road! Just ahead he could see a young black girl about eighteen years old she has long black hair a very nice figure that was shown off by her daisy duke shorts.

  All three started whistling as they drove by.

  Kurt stopped the SUV and backed up on the deserted road.

  Open my window Kurt Teal stated in the passenger seat he had a hard time rolling down the window.

  He cutie what in the world are you doing walking by yourself on this dark mountain road!

  The girl did not respond and kept walking.

  Man look nobody is around what you say we have a little fun with her!

  What are you talking about Lonnie, raping that girl!

  I am not saying that Teal, I mean look at ole girl don't tell me you wouldn't want to.... Shhh! Be quiet hey girl these guys have no class I just hate to see you walking by yourself on this dangerous mountain road can we at least give you a ride to were were you are going.

  The girl looked up finally and smiled and said yes I do need a ride!

  Kurt jumped out of the car introduced himself and the others and she got into the SUV.

  Kurt pulled of the mountain road at the very next dirt road exit.

  As he pulled off the road the strong smell of Marijuana reeked.

  You smell that Kurt we got to be close, after pulling over on the dirt road they could make out the 6 feet high weed plants on each side of the road. The whole time the girl said nothing. Baby me and my friends here need some attention you know what I mean Kurt asked the girl.

  The girl remained silent.

  You don't talk much do you Kurt asked?

  Lonnie get that blanket I have in the back we can do it right here.

  So once they all got out of the car Lonnie laid the blanket on a small patch of grass off of the side of the road.

  We are about to have a ball Kurt laughed as began trying to remove the girl's clothes.

  Stop! No! don't do this! the young girl screamed.

  That seemed to turn the evil trio on more and as they started to undress.

  The young girl broke free and began to run.

  Lonnie go and get my dinner and bring back here.

  Lonnie was already running behind the girl all he could think of was getting his shot at the teen aged innocent girl.

  The girl disappeared into the tall weed plants as Lonnie looked for her he tripped over what felt like a steel wire drawn taught.

  He fell down face first, as his body hit the ground there was a loud SNAP! Accompanied by a horrific scream! When Lonnie tripped and fell he landed on one of the many booby traps that had been set to guard the weed on that mountain, the bear trap closed on Lonnie in the worst place imaginable the 5 inch stainless steel claws clamped shut on Lonnie's testicles.

  He bled to death shortly after.

  Let me go and see whats up stay and watch the car Teal! Kurt began walking in
the direction that he heard Lonnie holler,when he heard a twig crack he looked and saw the young girl.

  Oh Yeah I am going to have my way with you!

  In a split second he forgot all about Lonnie screaming like that,his focus now was on the young girl. While chasing after the little girl Kurt ran into almost the same problem that Lonnie had. He tripped a booby trapped trip wire but this time instead of him fallen into a bear trap the way Lonnie did Kurt initiated a arrow that was pull back and released if any one tripped on the well placed wire trap. It in turn shot the arrow and it went right through and got stuck in Kurt's throat.

  By then teal began to worry it had become deadly silent after Kurt left. So he began looking for them Kurt! Lonnie! Do you hear me!

  As he kept walking he stumbled onto Kurt's body. He was terrified he began running and he tripped over Lonnie's body. That's when he knew he was going to die he ran hard as could to scared to go back to the Range Rover they drove up in. After running for at least fifteen minutes I saw house with a light on up ahead. I was relieved .

  Knock Knock.

  Who is it a black middle aged women answered.

  I really need your help he says through the door both of my friends have been killed please call the police my phone isn't working up here!

  She opened the door what happened you say your friends were killed!

  Yes we need help this teenaged black girl led both of my friends to the traps out here and their both dead! The middle aged black women looked inquisitively you say a black girl! Yeah she probably lives around here she had long brown hair brown eyes she was wearing a Beyonce t-shirt and some jean shorts!

  My daughter looks like that, she died 5 years ago trying to hitchhike a ride home she was found brutally raped and murder a little ways up the road! You are actually the fifth person in the last five years to have seen her, But what your telling me is strange because my daughter wouldn't hurt a fly, all the other people that say they saw my baby walking down the road. They all claimed she helped them, all had gotten lost up there. My baby was a Angel but if you did something to her she could be mean as the Devil himself.
