I would have posted this yesterday, but I was preoccupied with trying to get Shellie to talk to me again. See the other day, it was my turn to check up on her and she was doing a hell of a lot better, even if she was still a bit nervous around Claire and I, but I still wanted to know what Claire was talking about. So when Shellie left to go use the restroom I tried to access her computer to try and find out what it was.
The damn thing was password protected though and I couldn't get in. As luck would have it while I was trying to figure out her password, she came back. Needless to say, Shellie was absolutely livid and she kicked me out. I've been trying to get in touch with her all day but she refuses to have anything to do with me. She won't even have anything to do with Claire and she didn't even touch her computer.
What is going on with that girl...

Check-up
So Claire and I kept going by Shellie's dorm room over the weekend to make sure she was doing stuff to get better (much to her annoyance). But I was surprised that she was taking time off from this secret project of hers to actually catch up on rest and even a bit of homework. By today her cough had started to wan, so she sounded a lot better but she's still not 100% yet. I also think she's started up on her project again. It was Claire's turn to check up on her today and she closed a window on her computer really quickly, but not before Claire got a slight glance at it. Said it was black and white and looked like an exaggerated human figure. Exaggerated like Picasso? I don't have a clue...I'll try and get a look at it some other time if Shellie will let me.

I knew I saw this coming
So upon inspection of her room, I found a very ill Shellie Wattercutter still in her pajamas. She seems to have caught a nasty cold complete with nasty cough. I told her to take it easy but the dodo just couldn't lay down her work load and rest. Now she's paying for it, pretty severly I must say. Even now she still doesn't want to stop working on her project. I think this calls for some drastic measures. Claire and I have enough spare time I think the two of us could check up on her-royal-stubborness and make sure she's actually getting rest to get herself better.
I know it seems nosy but I've known Shellie for years and she's done this sort of thing before with fiction writing. Without some sort of buffer to get her to break every so often she'll wear herself thin. She can protest all she wants, but it's for her own good.

A bit worried now...
Class just ended and Shellie didn't show up at all this time. The hell, Shellie? No one seems to have seen her all afternoon either...I'll go ask her room mate if she's seen her, best place to look I wager and she's likely to be there anyway. Still usually she lets Claire and I know ahead of time if she's not coming to class for whatever reason.

The Reaper's Servant
As the late hour rises,
so too does the Reaper's Servant.
His coat of darkness chokes life from the sun
and the ink of night washes the land.
You will not see him,
you will not hear him.
But when the time comes
you'll feel the ice of his blade at your throat
as you lay your head to rest.
Hey everyone. A little change of pace for you all; I found a collection of short poems I had written last year and thought I'd share one with you since the rest of my short stories are currently under construction. I have more and if you'd like to see any others let me know and I'll post them up!
In other news, today has been kind of slow other than Shellie showing up late for another class, big surprise. I understand her plight and all, as I've pulled all-nighters before; but this is a personal project, not one for school. She's going to burn out the wick entirely if she keeps the candle lit at both ends like this. She didn't even take time off on the weekend to really spend much time with Claire and me. I asked Ms. Adams (Claire) what she thought we should do to get her to chill on the project but she's still thinking of ideas.

Busy as a Bee
Classes have kept me busy this week so I haven't been able to post anything. To top it off, I've been kind of worried about Shellie. She's showed up consecutively late to a few other classes her, Claire and I share this week. She said everything was fine, but Claire and I think she might be coming down with something. I dropped by her room earlier this afternoon to check on her as she doesn't have a class until later today and asked her what was up.
She told me she's been staying up late working on a personal project , which seemed logical enough, but when I asked her about it she didn't want to tell me. Further pressuring about it resulted in her getting defensive so I backed off for now. I hope whatever the project that its worth losing sleep over. She looked like she'd been hit by a truck when I saw her earlier.
In other news really sorry I still have not posted another story yet. Truth be told those currently up and the title story which I want to save for last were the only ones I had completed at the moment. The rest of the collection is a work in progress and most of them only have a few lines finished at the moment; and with classes keeping me on my toes of late, it hasn't left much time for writing. So be patient with me guys, you'll get your horror fix from me soon, I promise.

Another Weekend Begins
Why is it short weeks always seem longer than they actually are yet at the same time seem to arrive very quickly? Seriously, if someone can give me the definitive answer I'll give you a dollar. Anyway, done with classes and other things on my to-do list for today, finally. Class was pretty much the same old same old today, except for Shellie showing up late to class. Nothing significant to report. I'll have another stroy up...sometime in the future. Not this weekend though, I'll be busy making with the homeworks.
...dammit, just looked at my planner, I forgot I have to work tonight. And here I was hoping to relax. Oh well. Duty calls.

Lurking in the Depths
"I always knew working in these damn sewers would be a shit job (pun intended), even before this weird shit started happening. There's always been stories about monster's living down here and snatching up people for a quick meal. I never believed a one until Frank went missing on the job one day. After Frank it was Joe.
I knew something had to be done before we all became lunch for whatever was down there. I realise how risky this is, but no one else seems to want to do anything. If you find this, consider it my will. It's time to end this..."
Mike looked down at the mow still corpse of the so called 'sewer monster'. After finding the note of its third victim, he'd ordered the sewers be drained so that whatever was going after the guys wouldn't nave very far to go; or so he hoped was the case.
He thought perhaps it had been a gator, as they did sometimes manage to work their way into the sewers; but they only lasted for a few days at best. Where as this 'beast' had been swimming around for at least a week or two. Instead of a gator though, he had found a young shark flopping around helplessly now that it's mode of transportation was gone. Mike let it slowly asphyxiate in its desperate need for water until its final movements had ceased.
Sorry for not updating in a few days, I've been having to adjust to work starting this week intermingled with my classes. Needless to say, it's been a long week and I'm just glad it's over and that I've got a three day weekend coming up because of the holiday. This year's only just started and I already feel like I've been back here at college forever; so yay break!
