SE7EN: Transcendence All the World Is A Stage, Sometimes
In school I loved to act. It was a side passion to be in front of people as they watched you intently bring something to life. Anything that had to do with Shakespeare or Broadway was always something to get me exited to do. Even though I ended up in the logical world for my profession, my love for the performing arts had never died. Street lights passed over and over, more and more slowly, as my left eye opened. The car I was in started to come to a stop and was turning left. Opening the other eye I started to sit up when I realized my jaw was in excruciating pain. Yelling out in pain my left hand went to my jaw. “Ouch! Shit!” Bob looked back from the driver’s seat. “What the hell happened? I feel like I got nailed in the face with a sledge hammer.” “Yeah, well, that hammer was my fist.” He laughed a bit at the thought. “I had to knock your ass out!” I was trying to remember everything that had happened. It
SE7EN: Transcendence Blue Eyes Are Better Than None
Not just any blue, but the crystal blue that is almost see through and has a hypnotizing effect. I’ve always been a sucker for a woman with a set of eyes like those. Saying I’ve been bewitched by them several times would be the best way to describe it, almost as if I was destined to find one pair in particular. Across from the bar Riled was an alley. Normally, an Aston Martin would be noticeable anywhere it went. In a black Aston Martin in the shadows of an alley, it was almost invisible with the darkness engulfing it. Watching the front door, I waited for the girl with the blue eyes to walk out. Through the moving foot traffic inside the bar I could catch glimpses of her sitting with the people I had left her with earlier that night. She was staring off over the shoulder of her friends whenever she wasn’t being talked to and my imagination kept picturing her in deep intelligent thought. Sliding in a CD of mixed classical music
SE7EN: Transcendence What Dreams May Come And Go
Vivid sparkling dreams of fantastic creatures, both good and bad, have plagued me since I could remember. Every dream was so real and detailed I could wake up screaming or smiling depending on which way that day and night had gone. The doctor’s always said I just had an overactive imagination. Water. Water was trickling down my face. All I could see was pitch black darkness. I wasn’t sure where the water was coming from, but it was all over me. Had I just got out of the shower or a pool or a sauna, I kept asking myself. Wiggling my fingers I opened my eye a little at a time, blinking to let my vision clear. It could have been morning with all the light coming through. Clearing, my vision returned and I saw Bob, Remy and Alley over me. Bob had an empty water glass in his hand and was slapping my face trying to get me to respond. I grabbed his arm. “You can stop now.” He put his hand down. “Oh, sorry
SE7EN: Transcendence Smoke and Funhouse Mirrors
Every child ever born dreamed of what it would be like to be greater than everyone else. Every century saw something different for children to dream about in that fashion. My generation grew up with super heroes from comic books to television. Falling asleep at night I remember desperately asking God to give me the powers of Superman so I could be the super hero that saved all my friends and family in separate peril. Dreams of what you could do and all the people you could help as a young innocent child seemed to spur us on and our imagination into a frenzy. It had been two days since I destroyed the two way mirrors in my room. They were watching me from behind the glass of the interrogation room every single second of the day. In my mind could see eight high definition, high speed cameras behind the mirrors pointed at me. The number of people watching and taking notes had quadrupled and that number was still on the rise. They were good e
SE7EN: Transcendence This Was Not the Real McCoy
When I was young I liked to sneak around in the dark wearing black clothes to see how good I was at concealing myself. I got pretty good at hiding in the shadows and figuring out even where to hide in the light to not be noticed. Sometimes the most obvious spots were the best spots not to be seen. Sitting on a step, I stared over the railing of the stairwell looking down at the door I had to go through in order to find out the information we needed, I had no idea how many people were in the room. It had been an hour since I had seen the inside of it and McCoy probably got his reinforcements approved so there was no telling the count of people in that room. Remembering the layout of the room in detail, all the tables were covered with laptops and paperw
SE7EN: Transcendence And Like That, He Was Gone
Remembering the tagline ‘Who is Keyser Soze?’ always gave me good feelings. A tagline that really represents the entire plot of a film and is a blueprint for how to deceive people, it was such a coupe. Matt and Bob were walking out of a Federal building in Washington D.C. looking very haggard and both had black bags under their eyes. Watching them walk forward to the car made me excited for what I was about to do. Bob, as usual, walked to the driver’s side door of the rented BMW while Matt hopped into the passenger seat. “That was fucking nuts,” Bob blurted out as soon as his car door was shut behind him.
SE7EN: Transcendence Waking Up Alone, Is Not As Hard As To A Letter
Relationships have never really been my strong suit. I was always more partial to casual acquaintances than I was to getting involved with someone. There was never a connection with anyone that made me feel like I could forget about everything else if she was just with me every waking moment. That is, until she came along and hypnotized me into thinking she was my only desire. Sleep moved around my eyes as I blink furiously trying to wake up. Not really remembering what it was that happened the night before was nothing new. The room was dark as I sat up and rubbed my hands over my lids. What did I do last night? Swinging my legs off the edge of my bed, I remembered. Delilah was what happened to me that night. Reaching back
SE7EN: Transcendence If I Could Be In Two Places At Once, Oh Wait, I Can
Movies had always fascinated me as a child and as an adult. One of the many things that makes a human stand out, on this planet, is the unbound imagination. Maybe something couldn’t physically exist, but there was a way for someone to figure out how to make it exist in people’s minds. Six months had passed since my 21st birthday. It didn’t really seem like that long sometimes and other times it felt much longer. The first month or so, after that night, was spent in what seemed to be a coma for everyone else. For me it was in another bizarre world deep within my own mind. What was a month for everyone else was actually a few months for me. Spent trying to find my way out. My keepers had spent a lot of time testing me for everything imaginable. The best were the psychological evaluations I’d been subjected to every other day. I did t

Epilogue
Life is a crazy and bizarre thing to behold and even more strange to actually live out. My own life has been more interesting than most. Time, and a lot of it, has been spent on trying to understand why this all happened to me. Finally, I realized there was no point in asking that question. The purpose of me having these abilities is much more important and even if I did find out why I was like this, I could not go back and change it. Matt and Bob are running all the business, now. To be honest, I would shut them all down if it was not for the fact they employed a large number of people and I do not want to make them all jobless. The family is all looking over their shoulders and either seeing the government following them aroun

Knowing is Half the Battle
Expectations of life in the mind of every child leave anything to the imagination to become reality. When you are older those expectations change and reality of life starts to beat down imagination. In the end those who can keep more of their imagination are the ones that end up as the minority and seem odd to the rest of the world. Sitting down next to Delilah, the server poured wine for the table. Around the room there were some nervous faces and one that was stone cold as ever. “So, General, I am sure you want to begin your questions,” picking up my glass. “Almost a month ago I did say I would tell you what you wanted to know over the last ten years. Now is your opportunity, but remember something,” taking a sip of wine, “there are

Time Is On My Side, Yes It Is
Watching an episode of ‘The Twilight Zone’ when I was in college, I wondered about time. Time was a strange thing we knew almost nothing about. Standing in the hallway without any sound or light, a pin dot sized light come from the end of the hallway. Heading toward the light I passed the interrogation room and then the board room. With the light still growing in size my body kept heading toward it. Stopped and leaning against the wall, there was no recollection of the building ever being that long. Focusing on the lights being on, light blared into the hallway with enough force to blind me for a moment. I thought I was looking down the hallway, but there was nothing

I’m Positive, Maybe
At one time I dated this girl that use to make fun of me whenever I said I was positive about anything. She used to say it was not good to be positive because something could always change. I found out that she was right. Breathing frantically and with sweat pouring down my face, nothing around me seemed familiar. Splitting myself constantly, it was becoming more difficult to figure out which me was where. Confusion was setting into my unconscious mind at night when while sleeping. Between that and all the half real dreams in strange places, it seemed like I was never in the same place twice. Baal had been in my dream this time, or nightmare, trying to come through the glass as he had done just a few hours before. Not wearing a

Float Like a Butterfly and Sting Like a (Insert Noun)
Watching boxing or mixed martial arts was always fun. I am not sure if I ever could get in the ring and try to fight with someone in that way. It always seemed too brutal and I would have been afraid that with all the adrenaline and emotion I would not be able to stop. Sitting Indian style in my little room with my keepers behind the wall sized mirrors watching me, I felt at ease knowing the time was close for me to leave this place. A plate of food was sitting on the desk next to the bed. Not a single bite had been touched. Something was coming and I could feel it near. Food would only upset my stomach more. Looking around for any sign, my focus was on the mirror in front of me. It would be about a month before leaving th

How to Become a Vox
Reality television shows have birthdays on because they can be entertaining. Twenty-One is the age you are truly considered an adult in the United States. The age when you can legally drink and the age when most people have graduated from college, but my 21st birthday was something utterly different. Waking up to a flashlight being shined in your eyes is a terrible way to avoid headaches. Some woman was shining a light in one eye and a man shining one in the other. McCoy was holding smelling salts in his hand in front of me under my nose. Swatting his hands away, “That’s enough!” swatting away everyone with lights. “Can you please get the fuck out of my face!” my hand was up holding my head which was throbbing with pain.&nb

Oh, It’s What You Do To Me
Emptiness was never a blank void without form to me. I always saw emptiness as a hole in my heart that seemed to be un-fill-able or just missing something that needed to be there in order to feel whole. I had a chance to see both. A black smoke was covering my vision and distorting my orientation to the ground. My feet were not on anything, it felt like direction depravation no knowing which way was up. Air was all around me, yet I wasn’t falling. Waving my hand to get rid of the smoke, it moved enough to see that darkness surrounded me. Suddenly, my knees touched what felt like sand. A white light shown above me and I looked up to see Baal floating down and landing on the black sand I was kneeling in.

To Be or Not To Be, Caught
Always thinking to myself, why prolong the inevitable? If it was going to happen anyway then there was no reason to postpone it. That would just end up being a waste of time. “Yes, Bob,” my irritation level was well beyond the point of frustration. “I do understand what you are saying, but you’re not hearing me. This is just how it has to be. It happens no matter what we do.” “That’s the part I don’t understand,” Bob yelled out. “Yeah, mate. This is all getting ridiculous!” Matt had his say as well. “Look,” trying to be calm to keep them calm, “they have someone that is
