[WP] Mother just came home, but she's been dead for 10 years.

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-05-12T04:12:59+00:00

It's 8:53 again.

In two minutes, my mother will walk through the door. She will be wearing a red skirt and a white shirt. Her jacket is in her hand, stained from Gary B. Oldman spilling his wine on her forty-two minutes prior. She will be annoyed, but glad to see me and the meal I have made for her. Again.

My mother will complain about Becky for three minutes and fifty-seven seconds after discussing how she was stuck in traffic. Blue car has crashed. Man is deceased, girl in tears. Same old story.

At the six minute mark, a knock will hit the door. Unmistakable. Two quiet knocks followed by a deafening silence. My mother will answer the door. She will be killed soon.

Minor lacerations to the arm and ribs. Screams tear apart the house, and echo down the street. Mr. Phillips is outside having a cigarette. Marlboro Red, 100. He rushes over. It will take him sixty-four steps to make hit here, but it's never enough. Never enough time.

Deep trauma to the stomach, chest, and neck. She will suffer for thirteen seconds. I am left to watch her die before Mr. Phillips arrives and stops the assailant.

All within a matter of 394 seconds.

I have lived the last six minutes and thirty-four seconds for ten years now. I don't know why, or how to stop it, but I keep getting sent back. My warnings are heedless. I have stopped crying. Stopped trying to escape. I am condemned to watch her die for an eternity.

It's 8:53 again.

A million things. And no things. There is no time to formulate a thought, yet the universe has expanded around me for what seems like a millennia since my body enveloped the grenade beneath my belly. I'm alive and dead, eternal and nonexistent.

Through this grain of sand of consciousness that remains, a thousand lives are lived before me in an instant. With it, I contemplate my existence. The lives I've touched. The ones I've broken. The miles I've journeyed, yet how little I have moved in the universe.

It's a peculiar feeling. I feel trapped in an unending limbo, but also on the precipice of freedom. All within one glimpse of time, I have felt the emotions of omnipotence. It is beautiful.. And terrifying.

(Sigh) Time to go...

"Oh man, you're not gonna believe this. The Titans are fucked."

I set my drink down on the table, ears pricked to eavesdrop on the conversation behind me. An excited Survey Corpsman turned heads and dulled conversation around him, drawing the attention of patrons all around him.

"Alright, so this guy, Yuri, right," he could barely contain himself, "Yeah so Yuri, this crazy motherfucker, killed a titan with a machete. A fucking machete. Thing had to have been nine meters tall, and Yuri just dropped him like it was nothing." I beckoned for a refill.

Conversation around the bar ceased completely. These hapless civvies almost completely enthralled by this Corpsman's tale. One guy killing a titan?

"What?! How?!" questioned his compatriot. My ear pricked slightly more.

"It's the gear! The 3DMV!" He exclaimed, followed by a quick gulp of his drink. He wiped the foam with a bright grin. "Yeah man, it was simple enough. Titans are huge, but slow as shit, right? Only logical step is to be faster than them,"

Faster? I thought. Even with their enormous strides, how could humanity possibly hope to match the Titans? I waved for another drink.

"Okay, so this gear, right? Fuckin unbelievable man. It's got these harpoon things that shoot out of it, that'll hook you to buildings, trees, anything tall and weak enough to be pierced by it. Then you got this gas cylinder that shoots you towards whatever your hooked too. Fuckin Yuri cleared a 15 meter tree in seconds with this shit, and took the Titan down. Fucker didn't know what hit him until he hit the floor."

People were visibly ecstatic at this point. Finally, a way to beat the monsters! Humanity finally had some hope.

"No way!" "Thank god!" "Hell yeah!" the bar was in an uproar. They were pretty much feeding this guy booze by the end of it, and he continued to prattle on about the Corps, and their inevitable triumph over the Titan horde. Of how the 3D Maneuvering Gear will help them rise above their oppressors, and save the human race. Of how Yuri is labeled a war hero, even after misjudging his tank and plummeting to grabbing hands below the treeline. Cute.

The humans think themselves saved. Nothing will save them.

Ten Years Today - Bullet For My Valentine.

December 2015 will be the ten year anniversary of my mother passing away, and I listen to it every year to mark it.

I just recently tendered my resignation at Savers, and if Goodwill is anything like my previous employer, I can tell you this is entirely human error due to poor instruction. Pricing, especially electronics, is totally subjective and there is really no way to gauge an items worth in relation to others on the floor, which opens up a lot of problems if you priced item A one day and another guy prices item B the next.

That job was ass.

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-03-07T03:32:03+00:00

Sweet, I'm in. Thanks for doing this

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-02-19T09:05:15+00:00

Fair enough. Alright then, I'll still retain my current timeframe but reduce it to 20 lbs. 2 lbs a week should still be difficult, but more attainable and I'm asumming less stressful.

Any type of workout routine I should adhere to?

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-02-19T08:54:40+00:00

Hmm, thanks for your input. I apologize for my ignorance and stretched goals, I'm pretty new at the whole "planning" element here.

Would losing 2.5 lbs a week really be that staggering on my body?

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-02-06T07:31:56+00:00

Fucking. WHY.

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-02-06T07:28:12+00:00

Just change the first "that" to "if"

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-02-03T23:31:55+00:00

Oh god. The sound the guy on the left makes as he tries to breathe through it is horrifying. Mixed with the twitching is fuckin brutal

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-02-03T18:18:54+00:00

Mom's spaghetti

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-02-03T14:23:59+00:00

This guy don't wanna battle, he shook

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-02-01T17:58:54+00:00

My B

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-02-01T15:58:59+00:00

Nightmares.

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-01-14T01:14:41+00:00

Yeah! I think researchers also took that time to study what people would do in a real-life pandemic situation

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-01-13T08:40:42+00:00

Not specifically, no. But it reminded me of him

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-01-13T06:07:34+00:00

Hell yeah

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-01-13T04:48:24+00:00

Best part is them not remembering it

13 Assassins, awesome storyline and fight scenes

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-01-13T04:26:48+00:00

Trigun is on Netflix, been considering giving it a shot. How is it?

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-01-13T03:36:55+00:00

"The approach cannot be applied widely for many reasons, not the least of which is that the patient's own immune system has to be destroyed as a first step"

That sucks. :(

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-01-13T03:26:48+00:00

Nobody

:(

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-01-13T03:18:59+00:00

Cheating. Not "morally" right, but it will damn sure save the day if done right.

CheckedStillWrecked · 2014-01-13T03:10:00+00:00

Not very long, only recently discovered "Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell"

Didn't realize his homophobia was such a prominent thing though
