The Novella Life of Illuscia Nester Himawari

Chief Scientist's Log 12/7/2007 12:31 AM A new find was brought into the lab today. Men working the demolition of a condemned warehouse at this facility discovered a rusty oil barrel that seemed to exude cold. Preliminary electromagnetic field readings yielded chaotic data before the equipment died. Barrel appears to be constructed of stainless steel and, again, radiates cold. 13/7/2007 9:00 PM We opened the barrel today inside a sealed chamber. Chamber immediately frosted over. Unidentified entity found within the barrel. Appears to be gaseous and black. Indeed, the very light surrounding it appears to be "sucked in" by it's presence. Appears to be sentient, but does not communicate in any understood way. Biological matter that comes into contact with the Entity seems to disintegrate. 14/7/2007 10:11 AM An intern entered the sealed chamber alone today, without his hazard suit. He was not seen again. The Entity has double in size since being released from containment....

There are stories about a certain kind of hitchhiker - they only ever appear at night on quiet roads, seeming to flicker into existence in the very edge of headlights, never carrying a sign, always with an expression of deep despondency on their faces, swathed in a heavy coat and long pants, usually with gloves. If you stop, they will seem cordial enough, polite, but hardly chatty. They will assure you that the next town or city along your route will be a fine spot to leave them. Normal enough. Unless you try killing them. They die easily enough. But look underneath their clothes, and you will see that their skin is marred with lines of scars, forming repeating patterns that are unsettling to look at, and even more unsettling in the context of their skin. They have no wallets, no identification. If you slice their belly open, however, they're different inside. There's no blood, no muscle, only a hollow cavity containing a single object. The object varies. Examples include a sin...

Before we start, I need some help for a survey, so it’ll be greatly appreciated if yall could take just 5minutes in completing this!!!! Thanks :) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1SQyBjaYOrI65R5i_gbeBmhphTHfSIkrj0qngxuRRjcI/viewform (Big thanks to those who have done it!!!) You might already have heard of the TV broadcast hijacking in Seneca, South Carolina; the story’s gained pretty wide currency on the Internet, and part of the broadcast is available on youtube, assuming it hasn’t been taken down for whatever reason. For the uninitiated, the Seneca hijacking is one of the lesser-known broadcast signal intrusions. It was big news here, but the nation news media barely touched on it. Anyway, I’ve decided to jot down my impressions of the whole thing, even though other eyewitnesses have already described it more eloquently than I could. I was home on winter break when it happened, making chemistry flashcards in front of the TV. No one else was around. After watching the umpteenth Law and...

MIU THE SCHOOL GIRL Too much homework, overbearing teachers, having no boyfriend, etc, etc...Miu is your typical high school student, with your typical high school problems. But despite being touted as an illustrious academic with a bright future, all Miu really wants to do is draw. Her real passion in life is manga comic illustration, and she loves nothing more than telling great stories with beautiful, diaphanous line art. Of course this is something she keeps to herself, because those close to her would never understand why she would throw away her education just to doodle! Despite this Miu persists, and is busy after school every day, working on her next manga. Maybe it's time for Miu to show the world what her vivid imagination, and drawing skills are capable of! Go Miu! INGRID THE PRINCESS OF SWEDEN With her light blonde hair, blue eyes and delicate looks, Ingrid is the very picture of Scandinavian beauty, and along with her gracious demeanour this has earned her many admirer...

It was the 2nd of January, 2:04 AM. I woke up to a knocking on the door. One knock every 3 seconds. I slipped on my slippers and walked down the stairs. As I walked down, the knocking on the door got faster, almost like a heartbeat. When I got to the door, the knocking stopped, I looked outside and nobody was there. I went back up to my room   and went back to bed, thinking it was just some kids playing a prank. At 4:21 AM I woke up to the front door slamming shut. I jumped, terrified. I looked over at my frosted window to find “smile” written all over it in the frost. I grabbed my phone next to me, ready to call 911, only to find a message written on it saying “I told you to smile”. I cried and ran for my life running outside. As soon as I got outside I knocked on my neighbors house across the road. They answered and held me while I sobbed. They phoned the police. At exactly 5:42, the police came to my neighbors house after an extensive search of my house. They told me there had ...

Day 1     Today was a great day! I finally met my first Pokemon! She’s a Charmander, and she’s very special because female Charmanders are so rare. Of course, stupid Blue tried to defeat me with his Squirtle, but we showed him!     I’ve been waiting my entire life for the day my journey would begin. A lot of other kids are all obsessed with beating the Pokemon League and stuff, but not me. I want to just spend my journey learning about Pokemon. You see, I am a bit of a pacifist. But I cannot avoid the wild Pokemon forever, as I need to catch another Pokemon so Charmander won’t get lonely. I’ll buy some PokeBalls from Viridian City tomorrow! Day 2     The Viridian PokeMart was out of PokeBalls and they wouldn’t sell any to me until I delivered a parcel to Oak for them. It was worth the return trip because the professor gave me a Pokedex to help him record all the Pokemon in Kanto. This is great news! It makes my journey so much easier knowing...
