THE DEAD SPACE BEHIND YOU

a horrorwalker travel guide horror tale:

THE DEAD SPACE BEHIND YOU

(Manassas, Virginia)

(Robert Lamar Jenkins' Tale)

Behind you is your DEAD SPACE.

You know what it is… 

The unknown surrealism directly behind your body.

You can never really see what is behind your line of sight.

Peripheral vision be dammed --

What is that standing directly behind you right now?

Turn around as quickly as you can.

You cannot now,

Nor will you ever be able to,

 Move fast enough to see into your Dead Space!

  

A mirror into the soul, 

Or some other sources of reflection… 

Or words from a person trusted, 

Should provide you with the much needed insight… 

Into what you believe occupies your personal dead space.

In this personal shared  moment,

The question you should ask yourself is… 

Do you trust your own ears and eyes?

Do you trust the eyes of your trusted friends?

Something is there…

You know it exists because you can feel its presence.

It has brushed up against your back a few times.

It has bumped into you from behind when you abruptly stop.

You have glanced the shape of ‘something’ behind you.

And you have seen the shadow shape off the walls.

It is nearly invisible to you.

It is completely invisible to everyone else.

But it is there and you want it to give you an answer.

But the answers are not to come, just yet.

There is a purpose here for these things unknown.

There are realities that are just out of the focus of human perception…

And you really might not want the answers you seek.

You might not be ready to see into the dead spaces of another reality.

You might not be perceptive enough, just yet.

And like the people you call friends,

You are not in the proper frame of mind to see the unseen.

Maybe you are not ready to peer into a Horrorwalker World!

The bathroom mirror before you still offers no answers.

You can still see the outline… of… something back there,

But only a thin shadow shape borders your skin..

Whatever it is… it is not ready to reveal itself.

And really… do you really want it to reveal itself?

What if it is your soul trying to escape your tired body?

What if it is a monster awaiting the chance consume your flesh?

You have so many questions,

But so very few answers to this frightening mystery.

The Horrorwalker forced you to read that horrible tale!

It has been three days since you held the scary Horrorwalker Tome.

THE DEAD SPACE BEHIND YOU is a pure horror paranoia tale!

And now, you cannot get over the fact that…

Amber Starks lived this original nightmare!

She found out what you want to know about your Dead Space.

What she discovered was not pretty.

She never deserved her fate.

But obviously, in a Horrorwalker Horror World, bad things happen… period!

The Horrorwalker Tome left you without answers.

The Horrorwalker Tome left you with paranoia.

You know what happened to the protagonist of the tale.

“But is her fate to be my fate, Horrorwalker?”

Why leave you with this obscene knowledge?

Will you end up in the same mental hospital as Amber?

Like her, will you have to cut off your… wait a minute…

Amber has been institutionalized in RICA-Baltimore!

Can it be that your story was meant as impetuous for you to meet her?

How will you ever gain entrance into this state psychiatric facility?

They will never believe your Horrorwalker encounter tale.

They will probably drag you inside and lock you down, too.

But, if they did that… you would eventually have access to Amber.

This is crazy audacity!

Could you survive inside a place like that?

How do you eventually make your escape?

And would you become truly mad inside a house of madness?

Can you give to Amber the answers you want to glean from her?

“I am now all packed up and ready to go.

I am prepared to take this trek from tiny “Hicksville” Virginia,

All the way up to the wilds of Baltimore, Maryland…

And I am prepared to not see the light of day for a long time.

I just took one more glance in the bathroom mirror.

And, as every other of the many times before, 

There is still the shadow of something standing behind me.

And so, I am forced to take a Horrorwalker Travel Guide trek…

Toward my final destiny -- in a Baltimore State Mental hospital!”
