Entry 1

I woke up on the sofa again today. It was two in the afternoon. I don't get what is going on. The last thing I remember is going for a shower last night. I remember stepping into the shower but after that nothing, until I woke up on the sofa.

All the curtains were closed again, and all the windows closed as well. It's the height of summer for Christ sake. The house was stuffy and stank of bleach again. Everywhere I went in the house the stench of bleach stung my nose. The house is immaculately clean though.

The dinner I didn't finish and left on the sideboard is gone. The plates washed and put away. Everything washed and put away. I didn't do it; I know I didn't do it.

My hands, arms and legs are rubbed raw. It looks like someone has taken a wire brush to my body.

I don't know what is happening to me. I have been looking back on my previous diary entries and it would appear that this is happening more frequently now. I first noticed I was losing time two years ago. Back then I could go a month without another episode. Now they happen nearly every day.

I noticed that I didn't step into the shower last night after all. It was two days ago. I have lost two days.

I'm scarred. I don't know how much longer I can go on like this. Although I wake up as if from a sleep I always feel completely drained.

I need to get out of the house. I need to get to the doctors. I know I have tried before but this time I will do it. I am dressed and ready to go; I will write more when I get back.

--

That little shit. It was lucky I came back when I did or that little fucker could have killed me.

I mean look at this place. Every fucking window in the house is open. Does he not understand the germs that are flooding into the house? Is he trying to kill me?

Maybe that's it. Maybe he wants to get rid of me.

Well fuck him; I will deal with him after I have sorted out the house.

I seem to spend my life cleaning up after that selfish piece of shit. Always the windows open, filling the house with the evil of the outside world. Pollutants filling the air making me choke.

He's a slob. Look at the way he leaves everything lying around. Just so I have to come along and tidy everything up. Everything is just so dirty. Must fucking clean.

Got to wash my hands. Shit must wash my hands. Does he not understand what he does to me? Does he have no consideration for all the fucking work I put in around here? He would be dead without me to clean up after him. He would be a diseased wreck if it wasn't for me keeping everything clean.

Where is my fucking brush? I need to shower, to wash, to clean myself. How the fuck am I supposed to fucking clean the house if I am dirty myself?

Got to calm down. Just wash and finish the house. Deal with him later. Everything will be alright.

What was he thinking? He almost walked out the door; walked out into the world of disease. I know he has got out before, but the last time was a month ago. I am stronger than him now. Doesn't he know what I am trying to do for him? Doesn't he appreciate the fucking work I put in to keep him safe?

He could have killed me, that's what he wanted wasn't it? He wanted to get rid of me. He wanted to kill me the fucking bastard. Well he is in for a shock.

I think its time I got rid of him. I think its time that I took over completely. I know how to do it. I have been thinking about it for a long time, two cuts will do it and the body will be mine. That will get rid of the fucking dirty disease that is him.

--

I feel light headed. Can't raise my head.

Why am I lying in the bath?

Is that blood? Oh god, is that my wrist? Oh god no; what have I done? Can't move, no energy to move.

All I can smell is bleach.

Entry 2

The ancient Egyptians believed the human soul resided in the heart...thought and emotion; they originated from this smallish organ located in the chest cavity. An individual's ideas, a cultures beliefs and traditions could all be traced back to a simple organic system of contracting bands of muscle and fluttering valves, if one was to believe the conventional thoughts of that time and place.

Of course, our common sense, coupled with the benefit of 'knowledge' to the contrary, belies this notion.

Our senses, the external organs of them anyway, those pieces of us that allow us to perceive the reality that surrounds us, are clustered around this lump of grey that sits in our head. This proximity could ONLY indicate the foremost importance of the human brain.

Not so modern scientists have the ability to show us how electricity pops and sparkles across this ugly mass when we observe different things with our senses. When we see the Christmas lights go up, when we smell the perfume our mother used to wear, when we taste the cookies our grandmother used to bake, when we hear the crack as that high, fast traveling ball meets the wooden face of a bat at 90 plus miles per hour...it's like a blackout in reverse. The external stimuli opening up pathways, synapses snapping open and shut. Our perceptions momentarily clouded by recollection, we're drawn so deeply into reverie that we can lose track of the here and now.

That closer look seems to confirm our suspicions. How could this kind of activity, this fireworks display, not be the location of our soul?

-------------

But then, there is the heaviness of breath, the weight inside our chest when our beliefs are challenged.

We pull our shoulders in, hunched over our own chests, as if to protect our physical self when what we want to believe is shown to have flaws. When our ideas, our beliefs, our identity as a part of existence is challenged, we feel it in our chest, in our throat.

Similarly, we physically protect ourselves when those evocative stimulations of the soul are taken from us, the smell of our mother, our grandmothers cooking...when we find that we'll never again be exposed to those things, our brain initially rejects the notion. But our chest grows heavy. Breathing becomes painful and our hearts miss a beat.

-------------

The Egyptians treated most of the organs of their exalted leaders with the utmost delicacy. Gently handled, bathed and prepared in exquisite oils and herbs. Then carefully wrapped, to be interred with their owners, in the finest linens.

The brain, however, they unceremoniously hooked out through the nose, completely disregarding it and destroying it in the undignified removal process. Perhaps the dogs of ancient Nile delta embalmers occasionally dined on what had once been the warehouse of dreams for a living god?

-------------

When a kid finds his parents wrapping his Christmas presents under the tree and his dad eating the cookies he left for Santa, his brain reconciles the newfound information fairly quickly.

There is no Santa Claus.

Simple.

When the music starts playing and the ground is covered in snow, everything bathed in the glow of a million multicolored lights...those Christmas lights, running in pathways so similar to the flickering electricity in the brain, they never incite that same wonder again. The heart doesn't quicken its pulse in an eager anticipation of the magic that these things once heralded.

-------------

The brain is surely the seat of the soul, the governor of our 'self'. But the heart is surely the timekeeper, the music maker.

Maybe the Egyptians just had different priorities then we do.

-------------

Every flight of fancy done away with, every dream shattered, every belief disproved, every truth resigned to...

The mind teeters back and forth from one end to the other, now a womb ...and now a grave.

Each resignation, reconciliation to a new way of thinking, is a rebirth as a new person.

And each resignation is the death of the human you were, the society you belonged to, the time you lived in, and history as a whole.

Entry two could have been condensed into its last two lines.

And its formatting bothered me.

I liked the dual personality story better than the history lesson with speculation. The latter could very well be a part of a quite interesting show on the Discovery Channel but doesn't bode well for here.

The first could have been much better if it was much longer. We figure out too quickly what is going on and what can happen. The only suprise is the manic's decision to "take over" which he never does, and given the course of action taken, doesn't seem like the correct path was chosen. I would like to read a more indepth version but probably won't get the chance.

I agree with Jack, that THIS is a badass title.

It gives you an idea of what the story will be, but it doesn't tell the story itself.


I see this, and I think of a guy with terminal cancer who goes on a crime/killing spree hoping for suicide by police officer or something. Then if you wanted he could die, or you could twist it into either "well, it wasn't cancer" (which would be too cliche, but interesting) or "well, I guess it *is* operable" which while not as cliche, also isn't as interesting.

--

I'm sure that knowing what YOU would've written will be of great comfort to the eventual loser of this round.

This was a hard vote. Kudos to both writers. The only reason why #2 scored my vote was that it took the road less traveled in the competition, that is, to write an insightful article rather than a story. Still, both were good.

Rally liked both of these but Entry 1 seemes less like an essay or theorum and more of an actual story. Plus, Entry 2 kinda pissed me off at the point when people started eating brains for breakfast.

#1 - A very subtle and interesting take on the title. The short length probably made the illiterates happy, but it also made for a good glimpse into the character(s) thoughts. Really, too much more would have been over-doing it.

#2 - This was kinda... something else. It really didn't hold my interest and I'm not entirely sure what you were trying to get across. While I don't think that every entry should necessarily be fiction, it's going to probably work better than something like this.

Man, I would have cut the balls off of Satan for that title.

Author #1, at first I thought, 'meh,' but I read it again, and now I LIKE this entry. GREAT way to show the split in the character, no endless jabbering, and it comes in a small, economical package. Thanks. Good stuff.

Author #2, if your title had been 'Chef-boy-ar-dee Ravioli,' would you have submitted a list of ingredients off of the can? You entry was like a sixth-grade essay with all the rip-roaring thrills sucked out of it. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh, but you got one of the best titles of this round. You could have done ANYTHING with that title.

these titles should have had their brains scrambled with a coat hanger.

Sometimes I really want to be alone
But that's one state I'm never in
Because I know that I've got millions upon millions
Of tiny, one-celled organisms living on my skin

(Germs) I rub and scrub until my flesh is raw and bleeding
(Germs) But they just come right back again
(Germs) I can't even see 'em, but I know they're up to something
Hey, don't touch that - you don't know where it's been

They're all over me
They're inside of me
Can't get 'em offa me
I'm covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
What'll they do to me
There's no escape for me
I'm crawling with ... microscopic bacteria

Now if I ever dare to go to sleep
That's when they start their sneak attack
In the morning I wake up in utter horror
To find my teeth are covered with bacterial plaque

(Germs) Can't get those parasitic creatures off my face
(Germs) And there's more comin' every day
(Germs) I never said that they could camp out on my body
I wish they'd pack their tiny little bags and move away

They're all over me
They're inside of me
Can't get 'em offa me
I'm covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
What'll they do to me
There's no escape for me
I'm crawling with ... microscopic bacteria

They're creepin' around my shorts
They're under the bathroom sink
They're ridin' inside my car
They're swimmin' in every drink
They're hidin' between my toes
They're lurkin' in every kiss
I got 'em way up my nose
In every orafice
I'm gonna show them who's boss
I'm gonna get even yet
Just gimme some Lysol spray
Just hand me a moist towelette
Don't tell me I'm paranoid
I know that they're after me
Look under the microscope
See??

They're all over me
They're inside of me
Can't get 'em offa me
I'm covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
What'll they do to me
There's no escape for me
I'm crawling with ... microscopic bacteria

They're all over me
I can feel 'em all over me
Over every part of me
Microscopic bacteria
I know they're watching me
They're always watching me
They're coming after me
Microscopic bacteria
Won't somebody help me
Please somebody help me
You've got to believe me
They're out to get me
They wanna control me
They wanna destroy me
They're tryin' to kill me
It kind of upsets me

I didn't really care for either, but #1 was different for the first few seconds, then I got bored with it.

But I hate Egypt.

#1 at least attempted to stay in story format - I would have liked to have seen more.

#2 reminded me of Spinal Tap II - Jazz Odyssey!

Well thought out, and effectively presented considering the ideas you tackled often get caught up in big words and psycho-babble.

Uh, so. Let's have a conversation. Uh, I think we'll find that we have
very little in common.
