PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"SSC3 (FF) Anatomy of a DAW" |
I hear a clock ticking in the hall. I slow my breathing until it is in rhythm with the clock. Tick-tock-tick inhale, tock-tick-tock exhale. Six months ago I found the boards. It seemed like a nice place. I lurked for a long time until I knew that I could fit in there. They even had an unofficial welcome committee for new posters. It was hard to make my first post, a reply in a long thread about food. I waited for a response, but no one acknowledged my entry. A few days later I replied to another post, but again no one noticed. I’m used to no one noticing me. The only exceptions were the steady parade of boyfriends that my mother brought home. After she passed out, they noticed me. This time it had to be different. I would start my own thread. I rewrote my words several times until I had them just right. I hit the button to post the thread, then turned off the computer. I wanted to give the others time to make insightful replies. When I checked back a few hours later, my post had been locked. There was only one response. He told me that my thread was a duplicate of another on the boards, that I should stop wasting other people’s time and read all the topics before creating a new one. He ended his venom by requesting that the moderators lock my post. But I had read all the posts. Sometimes I read them over and over. And the people who posted on the boards loved to talk about themselves. I knew his real name. I knew what city he lived in. I knew he worked in a law firm downtown. I’d even seen a picture of him. The bus trip to Chicago took a long time, but I didn’t mind. I had my laptop with me. I logged in to the board with a new user name and went to the latest food thread. He had mentioned several times that the best Reuben in town was just a block from his office. I responded to the food thread with a question about sandwiches. Funny, now they noticed me. But it was too late. A discussion followed about sandwiches in general, and he soon replied, raving about the Reuben at his local deli. He said that he would have to get one for lunch. He even provided the name of the deli. So I waited. I followed him back to his office. A few hours later he headed for the train and was soon walking down the street to his home, with me half a block behind. You should never let anyone into your home. If they say they have a flat tire and need to call for help, you should just bring the phone to them on the porch. Maybe he just didn’t notice me. It’s hard work cutting up a body. I slow my breathing until it is in rhythm with the clock. Tick-tock-tick inhale, tock-tick-tock exhale.

Not sure what to say here. Well written but creepy. I am sure that was your intent just alittle jumpy I guess cause it could happen. Don't like horror stories with things that could really happen. LOL I admit it, I am a whimp. Again, well written.
