Death of the Vandal

Hello Dear Readers,
While at the Steaming Mug today I was reading a newspaper that someone kindly left on a table.  I saw a headline that seemed merely tragic and curious but turned out to be astonishing.  The title on page three read ‘Unidentified Man Killed in Car Accident’.  Obviously, I’m always on the lookout for keywords like ‘unknown’, ‘unexplained’, and ‘cheese-filled’.  When I started reading the article I got the shock of a lifetime.
The article said that an unidentified man had been struck by a car at approximately 3:00 am, two days prior.  The driver of the car fled the scene and has yet to be found.
The man had dark hair and eyes and was of an indeterminate ethnicity.  He is approximately 25 - 35 years old.  He is 5 ft. 8 in tall and 145 pounds.  He had no ID on him and the only possessions found at the scene where a baseball cap, a pair of sunglasses and a can of red spray paint!  It could only be the Vandal.
I’m not really sure how to process this.  I assumed the Vandal, may he live forever in the sun, would either fade away and disappear eventually or become my nemesis and end in a climactic battle.  For him to be unexpectedly killed, is so unexpected.  I still have so many questions.  Who hit him with a car?  Why did they just drive away?  Was it an accident or was it on purpose?  Was it the same person who was painting over the 'Shh' graffiti?  How will this affect things in Kevin’s Crossing?  Should he be returned to the other dimension?  Was he really from there in the first place?


I’ll keep you updated.

Quick Update - Future

Hello Dear Readers, Part 1 I didn’t think I’d have new information about that contents of the almanac so soon.  But I do!  Most unexpectedly I got an email from Jan March!  Apparently, it is that time of the month!  Hooray for menstrual cycles!  She says that she still isn’t sure about sharing her journals with me but that she had a vision with pressing information.  This vision filled her such a sense of dread and foreboding that she contacted me as soon as she woke up!             Her vision was about the destruction of Kevin’s Crossing!  In it, she saw the town underwater with torrential rain.  Then everything began to shake and the ground split open and more water came out!  In water dark shaped could be seen swimming out of the cracks in the earth.  She didn’t know what they were, but she said she could feel their hostile intent.       ...

Idenitity of the Vandal

Hello Dear Readers, Today I received a shocking email from my friend Yusuf!  It’s been a while since I’ve seen or heard from him. Vic had told he’s doing much better since the last time we met.  Turns out its true!  Apparently, there’s something that he feels I needed to know. His email contained only a single link to an article from the Kevin's Crossing Herald, the charming local newspaper.  When I began reading it my breath caught in my chest.  The article said that the identity of the young man killed in a hit and run accident several weeks ago (the Vandal!) had been determined!  Though the identity of the driver of the car is still unknown (frowny face). Before going any further, I must tell you, dear readers, this was very difficult to read.  It re-ignites many emotions I had thought I’d put to rest.  The death of the Vandal, may he live forever in the sun, was very hard on me.  Since then I’ve buried myself in my research (and sn...

Mystery Bulb Experiment - Tomato Plant Update

Hello Dear Readers,     With great excitement, I tell you that I fear that my closet may have been taken over by the former tomato plant, now the purple slimy pod plant, Suzie 2.  I’ve never actually seen it move, but the pods are in different positions every time I check on it.  I’ve been keeping a chair pressed up against the door for safety.  I would consider this experiment a success.  Though it doesn’t really tell me anything about the mystery bulb.  Other than long-term exposure has horrific effects on tomato plants.  Mysteries!     I’m trying to decide if I should kill the plant or release it into the wild.  If it can survive on normal sunlight, it could possibly cause an ecological disaster.  Decisions, decisions.     Also, I’ve been getting delicious cherry tomatoes off of the control plant by the window.  So it's win-win.     I’ll keep you updated!
