Dark City



"leashes on mosquitoes in a stadium"

Some of the words from Danamarie McNichols, the current Miss Washington, I just heard on the KREM 2 CBS New Spokane live tv broadcast about 5:40 AM today, most certainly I would guess, as she read it off the teleprompter, words written by someone else somewhere else in the building or beyond their building.

Those words remind me of a specific element, referenced here earlier, of the book I have been reading the past couple days, trying to not read more today because it only becomes more work for me.

What makes it compelling is how I sprained muscles in my back a few hours ago, still now very painful even after three Advil tablets, getting out of the shower. That hasn't happened in a long time, happening now probably because I haven't been on my bicycle in almost three weeks and losing physical conditioning can be as painful or more painful than the work to gain physical conditioning. But the reason that's compelling is because of the dining table chair from that same book. I've written before about that house I owned in South Carolina and I had a large dining room table and one time I sprained muscles in my back and that chair was perfectly constructed for me to lean back and crack my back in place again. Every time I feel that pain, infrequently, I've wished I still had at least one of those chairs from that table.

In the past, I have written about my imaginative flights where people suddenly become zombies. Not the cannibal zombies, they just become mindless drones. Their condition is proved because of synchronized movement I see from them. I wrote about standing in the grocery store and seeing them moving in synchronization, even the ones who can't see each other, which proves to me it's not an act staged around me for some bizarre, unexplained reason. After initial performance, all of them leave the building and begin a constant march towards downtown Seattle, their fate undetermined, perhaps to become unwilling colonists on distant worlds, as your Overlords originally intended for their human race animals, something your childish ego and it's naive need for control over anything, that you've never had, won't let you accept as possibility. Because you're naive and childish.

Because of those words I heard spoken earlier those morning on live tv I decided to look closer at the code associations for this calendar day, 08/02/2019, having forgotten earlier work I published here.

Quotes

Walenski: I've been trying to remember things, CLEARLY remember things, from my past, but the more I try to think back, the more it all starts to unravel. None of it seems real. It's like I've just been dreaming this life, and when I finally wake up, I'll be somebody else. Somebody totally different!

Inspector Frank Bumstead: You saw something, didn't you, Eddie? Something to do with the case.

Walenski: There is no case! There never was! It's all just a big joke! It's a joke!

The Event (Book 1)

The Event (The Survivors Book One)

Nathan Hystad

Chapter 3

The streets on this side of town were quiet, and it only took ten minutes to get to my destination. We pulled up and I stopped at the keypad, truck window open. I could hear sirens blasting across the town: a mixture of fire and ambulance, with a hint of police. I pulled the envelope out of my pocket and opened it. The key slid out, as did a small piece of paper. 3691 was written on it. I punched that sequence into the pad and the gate in front of the truck slid open.

"What could we possibly be doing at a storage facility?" There are aliens above us and you're looking for what? A dining room chair?" James didn't hide his annoyance.

I think it was my first thought after waking up this morning that I used to date Julia Roberts a long time ago.

I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.

Quotes

Dr. Schreber: I call them the Strangers. They abducted us and brought us here. This city, everyone in it... is their experiment. They mix and match our memories as they see fit, trying to divine what makes us unique. One day, a man might be an inspector. The next, someone entirely different. When they want to study a murderer, for instance, they simply imprint one of their citizens with a new personality. Arrange a family for him, friends, an entire history... even a lost wallet. Then they observe the results. Will a man, given the history of a killer, continue in that vein? Or are we, in fact, more than the sum of our memories?
