Sorry, It's Not Personal


I don’t know why I did it but I guess curiosity will eventually catch up to the cat. It started about a year ago with me just watching YouTube videos on my laptop, nothing serious, just those “4 True Scary Deep Web Stories” videos. I found it interesting how possible and realistic all the stories sounded and I would watch them every night before I went to bed. Then I moved onto informational videos about how to access the deep web, and what software would keep you safe from anyone with bad intentions. I never really considered using any of it but just thought it was something cool to learn about. However, I eventually moved past the initial awe and forgot completely about the ability to access the deep web.

Well about 3 weeks ago, I decided to watch another one of those scary videos, and then I watched a video on how to access the lower levels of the web. I was extremely bored and decided to download the software necessary and planned on just browsing the websites only slightly below the surface web. After about 30 minutes of setting everything up, I realized that some of the software would cost money and just decided to say screw it and look around without any of the protection software, I mean it’s just like the normal web if you don’t go anywhere stupid right?

Eventually I got bored of the normal internet and I found myself on a deep web search page, there were lists for different services, products, etc. One that really stood out to me was the webcam and security camera website, a place in which anyone could watch whatever was being viewed on many comprised cameras around the world, it blew my mind. I wish I had stopped there but curiosity brought out my inner cat.

I decided to click on the website and saw hundreds of different perspectives, all from different cameras in different countries. I decided that I would come back to the website another time and tried to hit the back arrow in the top left corner of my open tab. The page didn’t respond, froze for about 2 minutes and then the entire tab closed. I didn’t think anything of it but was slightly confused at what had happened.

I opened the software up again this morning, the first time in 3 weeks, and found my way back to the website, it looked much different though. Instead of the hundreds of different camera streams, there was only one camera view being displayed. I recognized myself and my room immediately, and as I looked up at the camera on the top of my laptop, the image on the screen played back my movements with only a second or two of delay. There were instructions on the screen as well, and I think I’ve done everything perfectly. You reading this whole thing should be enough time for everything to run its course, I am sorry, I want you to know that, because you haven’t done anything, but I guess life’s not fair, and a cat like myself knows how to make other people curious. Also, I like your outfit, suits you very well. Btw, they should be in contact soon.

A Wish Come True (A Short Story)

I woke up with a start when I found myself in a very unfamiliar place. The bed I was lying on was grand—an English-quilting blanket and 2 soft pillows with flowery laces. The whole place was fit for a king! Suddenly the door opened and there stood my dream prince: Katsuya Kimura! I gasped in astonishment for he was actually a cartoon character. I did not know that he really exist. “Wake up, dear,” he said and pulled off the blanket and handed it to a woman who looked like the maid. “You will be late for work.” “Work?” I asked. “Yes! Work! Have you forgotten your own comic workhouse, baby dear?” Comic workhouse?! I…I have became a cartoonist? That was my wildest dreams! Being a cartoonist! I undressed and changed into my beige T-shirt and black trousers at once and hurriedly finished my breakfast. Katsuya drove me to the workhouse. My, my, was it big! I’ve never seen a bigger place than this! Katsuya kissed me and said, “See you at four, OK, baby?” I blushed scarlet. I always wan...

Choking on Ink

My grandmother told me when she was in high school an old math teacher in his 60’s named Harold Davidson was teaching math and one of his students wouldn’t stop tapping his pen during class.  The teacher went berserk and lost his mind. He snatched the pen and attacked the kid, lodging the pen down the child’s throat while his classmates looked on screaming. While struggling, the kid kicked the teacher in the chest with the little energy he had left. The teacher collapsed and they both died at the same time. When school was back in session and math class began with the new teacher, the class noticed that a weird symbol appeared on the chalk board. The symbol had lines inside of a circle. All the lines within the circle were the common math symbols = + x and division.  If you outline certain parts of the symbol it looks as if a pacman shape has a line going through its mouth or maybe a head getting choked with a pen. The teacher asked who drew it but no one came f...

Hans and Hilda

Once upon a time there was an old miller who had two children who were twins. The boy-twin was named Hans, and he was very greedy. The girl-twin was named Hilda, and she was very lazy. Hans and Hilda had no mother, because she died whilst giving birth to their third sibling, named Engel, who had been sent away to live wtih the gypsies. Hans and Hilda were never allowed out of the mill, even when the miller went away to the market. One day, Hans was especially greedy and Hilda was especially lazy, and the old miller wept with anger as he locked them in the cellar, to teach them to be good. "Let us try to escape and live with the gypsies," said Hans, and Hilda agreed. While they were looking for a way out, a Big Brown Rat came out from behind the log pile. "I will help you escape and show you the way to the gypsies' campl," said the Big Brown Rat, "if you bring me all your father's grain." So Hans and Hilda waited until their father let them out, ...
