My name is Daniel I’m six foot tall with short dark brown hair and I dress in wool tops and jeans. I like to ride my bicycle it’s an old red 10 speed, and I like to sing. I would ride around all day singing to the public, sometimes I’d sing songs I’ve heard, and sometimes I’d sing songs I just made up on the spot, but I was always singing. People would drive past me in the street and beep there horn and cheer me on I think I was becoming quite a celebrity around town. A couple of weird things happened to me when it comes to singing first of all I made up a song, and sang it and refined it for about 20 minutes it was called Retro dog It went something like:

Big scary monsters destroying the town
Here comes retro dog coming to save the day
Retro dog
Retro dog
Retro dog

Then about a month later I was listening to triple J when I heard a song that had the lyrics retro love. I know that doesn’t sound that weird it just a coincidence, but have you ever notice how words in TV and movies, words seem to pop up at the same time or how themes are kind of the same it got me thinking about this movie that was about a man dreaming, in part of the movie he talked to a man who told him about a study some scientists did, where they got 2 groups of a thousand people one group did a crossword puzzle a day before the whole country did it, and the other did it after. The group who did it after completed significantly more of the puzzle than the former. What doe’s this prove, nothing but it doe’s suggest that we are all connected in some kind of telepathic way. Which is how I think the singer thought up retro love for there song She sort of got the retro vibe, I don’t know if I was the first to think of using the retro word or it was passed to me from someone else. The second weird thing that happened to me was when I went out on the town one night and I got sick of the clubs so went to a empty car park and sang then I screamed out I’M RETARDED !!, I don’t know why I just felt retarded. And ever since then I heard people saying “ lets get retarded !”, then a couple months later the Black eyed peas came out with the song with the lyrics “lets get retarded” which turned out to be a misinterpretation of the words. Anyway I’ll get back to the story. Everything was good, me and my girlfriend Miranda, Miranda had short dark brown hair like me and is kind of a hippie, she is into Buddhism she dressed in earthy colours and used incenses and had prayer flags, she had the prayer flags of knowledge. She hated technology especially computers she wouldn’t let me bring mine when I moved in. And she had this theory that plants feel pain which I totally disproved because plants don’t have brains. We had a good life hanging out with our friends smoking a little weed the sex was mind blowing and that wasn’t the only thing that got blown. I loved to sing to her and play writing games with her, everything was perfect until one morning she came up to me with a serious look and said;
“I need to talk to you”.
I think I was singing at the time so stopped and gave her my attention.
“What is it?”
“I’m pregnant and I’m going to have an abortion “
“You sure you don’t want to keep it”.
She always said she would have an abortion if she got pregnant, I thought she might change her mind if it actually happened.
“I’m not ready for a child yet, I’m too young I have my whole life ahead of me “she said.
I was stupid to think this wouldn’t happen, I tried to convince her to keep it but she wouldn’t change her mind. Miranda said she wanted to go visit her good friends in Ravenswood so I rode up to my best friends Max’s. Max is about the same height as me black hair he is a boisterous fellow he’s been in many fights and doesn’t take shit from anybody he drives an old red Nissan blue bird with mags and loves to pump out Hip Hop out of his car stereo. I knocked on the front door, no answer, It was early so I knocked on his bedroom window. Max poked his head through the curtain;
“Oh Danny boy” Max sang in a deep voice, like he normally did when he saw me.
“ How ya going” I said
“Not bad ya self”
“Pretty good”.
We had a couple of cones then did a bit of weights had a cup of coffee and smoked a couple more cones then played on the X-box, Morrow wind was the current game we played. Meanwhile Lars his flatmate slept off the night shift at the hospital, he was a nurse at ward 1E which is a ward in the hospital for the insane. I rode and pushed my bike up the hills towards home. On the way down the last stretch of road I rode past a girl who walked along and sang songs I thought to my self this singing out loud thing is starting to catch on. When I got home I jumped of my trusty bike and chained it to the support beam and went inside. Miranda wasn’t home yet so made a toasted cheese sandwich and watched some reality dating show on TV. It was a show about country boys getting matched up with women from the city, at the end of the show it showed a couple that got together and the woman who found her man was talking to the farm-boy about his inner-child and how he has to recognise it. Then she said something which got me thinking she said; “thanks Danny”, then the show ended. The reason it got me thinking was because I went through a stage where I acted like a child I skipped around town and acted like a cartoon character doing the thing cartoon characters do where they look one way and put there arm up then start running the other way. I also went through a stage where I was playing with my two little brothers Sam 8 and James 5, I played with toys and built cities my mother would say Dans going back to his childhood. This got me thinking, is this what the girl on the dating show meant by inner-child and was she talking to me when she said thanks Danny.
Miranda got home shortly after and I told her all about it, she just dismissed it as a coincidence. The next day Miranda had class, she studying horticulture at UNI, so I decided to go use the internet at the library and do some research on the word inner-child. What I came up with was that the inner-child is a part of the brain that is responsible for our instincts, I couldn’t find anything on the inner-child being anything else but I knew that wasn’t what the girl on the dating show was talking about. I decided to forget about it and went on singing and riding my bike, it was all good when the day came when Miranda had to go for her abortion. We walked in silence toward the abortion clinic. I remember some graffiti written on the wall that said: This way, with an arrow pointing to the right down a hall, I didn’t think much of it at the time. We walked up stairs and I remember there was young girl with her mother there that couldn’t more than 12 years old which I found surprising but at the same time I didn’t. Miranda went in after about half an hour and I got settled and read some trashy magazines. That’s when it all started I started hearing voices coming out of all the people at the clinic they where all female, One of them said something about there boyfriend being an asshole, then another said he’s pretty hot whilst looking at me. I started freaking out and looking at them, then one of them said he can hear us. I had to get out of there so I walk down the stairs and I was thinking about what I heard upstairs with those women when I remembered the writing on the wall. I followed the writing to a door with more writing on it that said: no way back. I looked at the writing for a minute or two trying to figure out what this writing meant. I stepped through the door expecting something to happen like a sniper was going to shoot me or something. But nothing happened it was just an old courtyard with broken up cement and weeds growing through the cracks. I stood there for ten seconds then walked back up stairs into the reception. And started to listen to what the women where saying I can’t quite remember what they where saying but I started to get the impression Miranda wasn’t coming back,
“Miranda “I shouted as I barged through the reception doors.
“She’s alright, she’ll be back soon” Some nurses said as they pushed me back into the waiting room. I sat in the waiting room listening but I couldn’t make out what anybody was saying telepathically. About an hour of trying not to go insane the nurses said I could go in to see her. “Are you alright “ I said as I sat down beside Miranda.
“I’m fine, call a cab”.
I asked one of the nurses to call a cab and we where soon home.

Miranda was asleep on the bed I sat on the couch listening to all the voices around me I couldn’t make any sense of it all as the voices where overlapping each-other, some sounded angry some casual and there where hundreds of them. I needed more smokes, I woke Miranda and told her where I was going. The corner store was closed so I rang a taxi and the man who answered was talking in a high pitch voice witch I found strange. I waited up the top of the driveway for the taxi which came in about 15 minutes.
“How ya going” The taxi driver said in a high pitch voice, things where starting to get weird. When I got home Miranda was up. “Wanna listen to the radio” I asked her.
“Yeah ok”
We listened to Triple J and I was shocked when I heard some guy singing in a high pitch voice it sounded as though he was trying to sound like a girl but wasn't doing a very good job at it. We listened through some more songs then Miranda said; “Coming to bed”.
“Ok”
I couldn’t sleep I just kept hearing the voices in my head. Then I heard a mans high pitch voice coming from next door.
“ This is the answer Danny” the voice said. It got me thinking was this some kind of experiment were if men tried sounding like women it would soften men and there would be less violence and anger from men. It was the most ridiculers thing I ever heard off. I decided it was time to wake Miranda up and tell her about all this. After explaining it all she just said:
“You need to talk to your mum she can help you with this”
“What do you mean what’s going on”
“You need to talk to you mum”.
I grabbed my smokes and my keys and walked out the door. As I rode the voices in my head intensified, and I started to hear stuff coming out of me things like choose love and other things like poofter or fuck head and the voices I was hearing around me where answering back I couldn’t control what I was saying. I heard it coming out of cars and houses. I decided I needed to get away from the city so I rode out to the high-way on the way I remember a street lamp blew as I rode past it. The further I got the more the voices died down. Until I got right out of the city. But then the voices came back they where coming from the trees I started imagining people living out in the bush, hippies, Then I imagined Neanderthals huge big people living out here waiting for people to wander too far out so they can beat and eat them. What is happening What’s going on? I thought doe’s everybody have chips in there brains?.
I rode towards my mother’s house on the way I got visions of robots like the matrix sentinels only with human brains inside and these robots ruled the world and I was the only one who could stop them. I noticed another street lamp blew out as I rod past it I didn’t think much of it, just a coincidence. Then I started thinking about maybe there are cyborg robots that guard the world from terrorists. But I quickly brought my self back to reality and told my self that it was a ridicules thought. As I pushed my bike up a steep hill I noticed two metal doors on the ground that looked like the entrance to the sewerage, the doors had new padlocks on them and I couldn’t help thinking, that’s probably where the cyborgs are stored waiting for there next mission, even though I knew that couldn’t be real. I was just pulling into my street when another street light blew out now I thought it’s getting weird. I got to my mums and I explained everything and asked her what she knew, but she just said she didn’t know what I was talking about and that I was scaring her. I sat there and watched TV and tried to focus in on her inner voice and we spoke telepathically;
“How long have you known”
“Since you where little”
“What is it “
“Love”.
After that I didn’t get any more messages from her so I watched a movie that just started on SBS it was call Ring 0. And this isn’t the Ring 0 you might know Ring 0 Spiral, this was the very first movie the one about the girl in the video’s, the one that I’m convinced the actor tried to cover up with Ring 0 Spiral I’ll explain after I’ve told you about the movie. The movie’s about this female actor in Japan I think the actors first name is Nakami, any-way in the movie the girls name is Sadoko and when she walks through a crowded room the people in the room can hear what her inner-child was saying telepathically. Any way the story goes on about her acting and then one day a man reporter tries to interview her but she gets freaked out when he takes a photo and the cameras flash and some lights explode, they made it out like her telepathic powers made them explode which was similar to the lights burning out on the way to my mothers house. Any way it ends with her going to see her father who had studied her as a child. Her father then poisons her and stabs her and throws her in a well. I hoped that wasn’t my fate. What I was getting at before about the actor covering up the first movie was that I got the idea that this Nakami is either highly evolved or she’s the alpha female of Japan, and I realised I must be either highly evolved or the alpha male of the English speaking world or maybe the whole world, and that the alpha male is not about girls or muscle, its about popularity and I got the popularity from all the singing in public I did, I was the first one to do it constantly, and I think everybody talked about me and liked me and eventually I was crowned, the chief of the global village. Anyway back to the story.
I said to my self I wonder what it’s like for you Sadoko, I thought about this, then I heard my self say: My mother controls me. And I thought that I must have said that telepathically to Miranda earlier and that’s why she said my mother would have something to tell me. I suspected my mother did know a little bit about it but didn’t want to talk about it. I didn’t sleep at all I just lay in my bed listening to all the voices I can’t remember all the things they said, but they where weird. The next day as I watched TV, I notice everybody was saying things under there breath, and it was all about me they said Danny this and Danny that.
Then I was watching a cooking show and I heard my self say I think where all psychic and telepathic and then I heard the cooking guy say out loud “so do I”. I was stunned by this, this show wasn’t live so how did he receive my message unless I sent the message back in time to when the show was being shot. Which according to Albert Einstein is possible, he said that it’s impossible to travel back in time, but time dealings as he called it, is possible which leads me to believe that Albert Einstein was an alpha male of his time, or he was highly evolved. I got sick of watching all these people whispering about me so I went and lay down I found it impossible to relax I felt as though people from all over the English speaking world where asking me questions telepathically so I started chanting Fuck off Fuck off Fuck off and the stress subsided for a moment then it kicked back in again. I went out into the kitchen to get something to eat I heard this voice coming from the TV it sounded Asian and it said: help me! I’m stuck in here. over and over again. I had to get away from it so I went outside. Then I started thinking what if there developing a machine that they can put my brain into and control the population with. I started thinking about committing suicide. But there has to be an alternative then I thought that maybe I could do some crime and get put in jail surely I’d be safe in jail. So I went and threw a rock through a window then I realised the only place I’d be safe would be in the bush, so I stole a car and drove towards the bush. Then I started to get paranoid about the car and thought they can probably track me through the car somehow so I pulled over and got out and walked towards the bush which was only a couple hundred meters away. I heard a car coming up behind me and turned around , it was the police I knew it was over there was no way I could escape so I turned my self in. As we drove toward the police-station I started thinking about being put into a machine and I opened the car door and threw myself out, we where only going about 40 KPH as we just started driving. I bumped my head and managed to roll away the speed. They came back and asked if I was alright this time they put the child safety locks on. They brought me to the hospital where there where about 10 cops waiting. They brought me into a back room.
“Stay there” one of the officers said.
All the cops walked over to the other side of the room and began talking amongst them selves and I got the feeling they where about bring somebody over to bash me or something. So I got up and waited. They brought a younger officer towards me and I swung a punch as hard as I could at him knocking him over. The other officers pushed me to the ground and hand cuffed me. Next thing I know I was being stabbed by a needle and I fell unconscious.

I awoke in a mattress that sat on the floor. I got up, feeling a little dizzy as I walked out into what looked like a lounge room with a couch and a TV, somebody dressed in white was sitting on the couch watching TV.
“where am I” I said
“Your in ward 1E”
“Is that part of the hospital?”
“yep” said the man dressed in white his name tag said Ryan.
I quickly realized this was a mental ward and that I was crazy. The voices where still there and the TV was still filled with people saying stuff about me.
“Can I get a cigarette “ I said to Ryan.
“Yep I’ll just get the ones you came with”
Ryan gave me my smokes and I went out for a cigarette. There was a man with long blond hair wearing a Metalica T-shirt and smoking a cigarette. I went and stood next to him and lit up. I notice his finger nails where sharpened into points as though he would use them to stab people if provoked.
“ I smoke for the rush you get every four or five hours, what about you” He said.
“ I smoke because I’m addicted and I like the relaxed feeling I get after having one”
“ Ya’know there’s no point smoking to get cancer they’ll have a cure in another five years”
“Is that right” I said.
I finished my smoke and went back inside, then I heard Gwen Staffani’s Banana song coming from down the hall, I went down to check it out, and came across a girl drawing pictures in an art room.
I thought I might as well fill in my time doing something and sat down and drew some pictures too. After half an hour of doing this, the girl said;
“You coming out for a smoke”
“Yeh alright”
It was a sunny spring day and quite warm the girl spoke;
“ have you ever heard of long pig”
“No what’s that”
“It’s human on a spit-roast”
“Oh ok. So How’d you end up in here”
“I was walking along Invermay road with some friends, they had baseball bats and I had a hocky stick. We were on our way to get someone when the cops showed up and started bashing us, then one of the female police officers tried to break my neck but I thought to my self my neck is steel and it was, and she couldn’t break it”.
I thought to my self she must think it’s ok to kill someone if your going to eat them.
Then later when I lay in bed I thought to my self I was probably the person she was trying to kill that night when the police attacked her, so If I said kill those people on Invermay road and sent it back in time then the police might have got the message and found them and tried to kill them and make it look like an accident.
I sat there listening to my inner voice and heard things like: protect Danny ,Danny is the ultimate , fuck Danny , chose love, Danny is the one, two girls. And all sorts of other stuff that I can’t remember. The next day I got a visit from Max he told me he wanted to break me out. He wasn’t really taking me being in here very well you could see it in his face. As we stood outside having a smoke.
“How long till you get out”
“There saying another week but It could be longer”
“ you know you could probably climb out of here” said Max and showed me how to do it.
“ Or I could tie a rope to my car throw it over the fence and pull you out to freedom”
“ yeh ok, do it” I said.
Max left an hour later and I went back to listening to the voices. That night I sat on the couch watching the TV I heard my self say from my inner-child: We are all robots. Then next day I stood near the fence smoking a cigarette and a man walked past acting like a robot making robot sounds and walking all stiff.
I waited for Max to come with his rope for hours each day but he never came.
A new guy came into the ward, He was a big fellow very solid about 45 years old and his room was directly opposite mine, and that evening I heard him saying;
“Choose love , Choose love”
Over and over again I was thinking choose love meant being willing to get violent to protect the ones you love, and that I had to punch him to prove my self as an alpha male. So I did I ran at him an punched him in the face as he lay in bed. Then he got up and got me into a choke hold and brought me out into the lounge where he said;
“ I SAY WE GET RID OF THIS PROBLEM RIGHT NOW!”
The nurses paused for a second as though giving him time to break my neck, then said;
“ No come on now let him go”.
And he let me go. They put me in solitary confinement and wouldn’t even let me out, even for a piss, I had to throw my jumper on the ground and piss on it so the puddle wouldn’t spread through out the room. That night they didn’t give me drugs so I didn’t sleep I just lay there thinking about everything and listening to the voices. The next day I was released. Than I remember over hearing some of the nurses talking about how they cope and one of the nurses named Leroy said he chants Die Danny. That day I wasn’t drinking as much as I usually do but I still got the urge to go to the toilet, but when I went to go I couldn’t go, It was something to do with habit that made me feel like doing a piss when I didn’t really need to. I over heard another nurse I forget his name say what’s going on with piss’n. So I figured somehow my habit was effecting everybody else’s habit. So resumed to drink at least five drinks a day to keep the habit going and keep refreshed. The next day there was a new fella in, he was a mouthy young one, he would tell all the nurses to get fucked and carry on about how he shouldn’t be in here. Any way one morning he was starting his usual shit harassing the nurses and I just snapped I jumped out of bed and punched him hard in the jaw knocking unconscious, then I thought now’s my chance so I punched up one of the young male nurses who was doing work experience, he was the only nurse on guard at the time, then I ran out side to the gate climbed up it grabbed the light fixture like Max showed me and I was on top of the wall. I looked down saw my landing pad some pine bark piled up in the garden, and I made sure I bent my knees on the landing to adsorb the shock. Then I ran through back alleys to Max and Lars house. I thanked god they where home.
“How’d you get out” Max said
“Climbed the wall like you said”
“ I thought it was you”
“What do you mean”
“You where on the radio, It said a man has escape from ward 1E and is considered dangerous. They’ve blocked streets and everything.”
“ Fucken hell I’m a wanted man”
“Yeah man”
“Got any buds”
“Yeah of course mate”
So Max chopped up a session and we got stoned. I think I had a reaction to weed because it crippled me I literally crawled to the sink for a drink of water.
“You right “ Max said
“ Yeah but I feel like my heads about to exploded”
After a few glasses of water I started to come right. and Max drove me home.
When I got to Miranda’s she looked mad.
“What’s wrong I thought you’d be glad to see me”
“ I want to end things”
I was beyond shocked, we always said we would be together forever.
“Why” I asked
“ Because you just don’t care, while you were in ward 1E laughing it up, I was alone and sick”
“ I was sick too don’t you see, there must be more to it than that”
“You promised not to tell anybody about the abortion, people are saying we killed Jesus”
This made me think if our baby was Jesus doe’s that make me god.
“I didn’t tell anybody”
“And neither did I “.
Which lead me to believe either someone saw us at the abortion clinic or someone who was in the clinic knew us or they found out through telepathy.
“Your just better off with out me, some people I know aren’t nice people. Your place is with Max and Lars.”
And just like that It was over I called a cab, this time the driver talked in a normal voice. I packed my things and went to stay at my mums.
When I arrived at my mums she said;
“Did they let you out”
“Yeah” I lied.
“Have you got any medications”
“No they said I don’t need any”
“What did you break out”
“Yeah” I said sparing her the details.
That night I started thinking about the words Pandora’s Box, which kind of a joke on anybody named Pandora. I started feeling really weird like my mind was being transformed by something. I decided to go for a walk but the second I stepped out the door I felt this tremendous fear, And as soon as I stepped back into the house the fear subsided. The Aria’s was on TV and I tried to watch but I couldn’t sit still for longer than five minutes without feeling tremendous fear. I remember I sat long enough to see John butler play and he could only play smoothly for five minutes than he had to play in anger.
After John butler was finished playing he said: Bone through the heart Danny.
Which made me think John Butler wants me to kill myself without using any of the so called evil technology by using a bone? Then there was this other singer who sung this sweet song, I said telepathically said that’s true love. Then he said see that’s true love and walked off the stage. Then my mum said telepathically “he’s dead”. Then it showed him hugging people backstage, which made me think he must be expecting to die. Which means I must of said telepathically: If you show true love I can kill you. You see I don’t always know what my inner-child is saying. The Aria’s finished and next there was some footy talk show, as soon as the show started one of the men said: show Danny, and the camera swung around and show a computer screen with a mouse pointer moving around, the mouse pointer moved around a bit then pointed towards a music icon, then they went back to the show. It got me thinking was this computer linked to me somehow, and it points to different icons depending on what I’m thinking. I switched the channel and stoped on some news program on SBS and some reporters where talking to someone who was involved with terrorists, and he said: We don’t believe Daniel Kulla’s lies.
While I watched all this I felt fear, because I was sitting for longer than five minutes. I would sit down somewhere, then five minutes later I would feel fear so I got up and moved somewhere else, I couldn’t relax any where I sat. It went on like this for hours until I sat on the couch and looked out the window at some trees blowing in the wind, it calmed me. Then I started thinking the whole world was an illusion like the matrix and that there was a guy about to press a button to kill me. The sun rose, my mum and the kids got up.
“Your up early” said mum
“Yep” I said.
I made some cereal and ate it while watching cartoons. I watched show about a little car named Brum that chased bad-guys around, and it got me thinking if I saw Brum come at me, I’d pick him up and look for the owner. Mum made the kids lunch for school and walked them to the bus stop, then came back and made her self a pancake and asked me if I wanted a pancake I said no I’ve had breakfast. After the cartoons finished I listened to the radio, John laws was talking about all those homes were parents smoke around there kids and how it’s disgusting. He took some calls and rattled on a bit more then he said: He should be house bound, out of the blue. My immediate reaction was that he was talking about me, that I should be house bound. I turned it to triple J and listened to music for another hour, one of those men singing in a high pitch voice was playing again. Then I realized I had to put my doll form in today. I filled out my form grabbed my stuff and went to wait for the bus. I waited for an hour and the bus never came, the busses came every half hour so I thought the busses must be on strike or something. So I walked to town. As I walked down the hill I came past a couple getting in there car, they both looked at me and the man said what’s he thinking now, then she whispered something in his ear. As I walked through town, I walked past a man and he said to me;
“There is a computer” then kept walking.
I think he was talking about the computer I saw on the footy show.
Centerlink(social security) wasn’t to busy so I put my form in and headed home. As I walked home I walked past a couple men and one of them said under his breath;
“That’s Daniel Kulla”
They where tan skinned with black hair they looked like terrorists. Are terrorists after me I thought to myself. I kept walking home up the hill and into my street. Some kids were playing footy in the street, and I asked if I could join in, they agreed, we kick the footy for a while, then I notice the neighbours standing in there driveway talking to one of there kids, I over heard the father say;
“Just go up and hit him, come on”
The boy about 7 walked towards me then turned around and ran back to his parents. Are they trying to train there kid young to beat me.
I went back to kicking the footy for a couple hours then went inside, Deal or no Deal was on TV so I watched it. Half way through the show the host started talking telepathically, he asked all these questions, what my mothers name was, did I have any brothers or sisters, I couldn’t stop my self from telling him. Then he asked what’s my girlfriends name and this made me angry.
“ FUCK HEAD!” I screamed at the TV. And the host said out loud: “Letting of a bit of steam there”. The news was on next then some sitcom, my inner-child communicated to the people on these show saying I am the ultimate and I can kill you and all sorts of other stuff. The people in these show said stuff like: anger is the way and this could be your funeral. Australian Idol came on next and I notice while the people on it sang I got no voices from them but I did hear people in the crowd say out loud: I love you Danny. There wasn’t much telepathic voices. Anthony Calia was singing next, he sang some song in Italian, which was quite good, and after he finished he said out loud: “Can we take the eyes away from the screen”. Like he thought I was some sort of experiment or robot who’s eyes where pointing at the TV. I got sick of all this and went and lay down. I turned on the radio and a song played that went:
Don’t go out tonight
There’s a bad moon arising.
I was thinking to my self is this stuff real or am I crazy. I decided to chant my address and see what would happen. I turned the radio off and I chanted 17 Jamison ST telepathically, you see I learnt if you chant something over and over your inner-voice will start saying it. I chanted for about an hour. And next thing I knew, about a minute or two apart a car would drive down my street. They just kept coming for hours it was about 2:30 by the time the cars stoped coming.

I couldn’t sleep again, and decided I needed to talk to Miranda. So I told mum I was going to Miranda’s and left. As I walked I walked past a house and heard a woman scream from the house;
“ We told you not to go out tonight”.
Then a mans voice said;
“But he’s found true love”.
It was as though the song Bad moon arising with the lyrics “Don’t go out tonight”, was meant for me. But I had to see Miranda so I kept on walking. I walked past another house and heard a strange sound that sounded like a frog it sounded telepathic.
“Frog stomp” I said to my self and kept on walking.
I arrived at Miranda’s house and noticed my bike wasn’t where I left it, I knocked on the door.
“Who is it”
“It’s Daniel, I need to talk to you”
“Go away it’s over, accept it”
“where’s my bike”
“It’s been stolen”
I stood there for a while remembering the good times we had together, then headed home. When I got home I was tired and managed to get some sleep. The next day awoke at 10:30 AM, Mum was watching TV in the lounge, I told her I was going to town and off I went. I waited at the bus stop, and ten minutes late a bus showed up. I got to an ATM and checked my account balance, around 800 dollars was in there, I realized I got payed while I was in ward 1E and didn’t touch the money. I decided to buy a car. I caught a cab to a car yard. I looked at a Nissan Sigma and asked for the keys, then started it up, the engine sounded good so I bought it for 700. I decided I’d visit my old mate Tom because he knew a bit about cars, and he could tell me if it was a good buy.
“ Dan how ya going” Tom said when he saw me.
“Not bad “ I lied. “ Your self”
“Pretty good Pretty good”
“I bought a car today and was wondering if you could take a look at it”.
“Yeah sure”
Tom got down on his back and crawled under the car.
“The axles and the drive shaft aren’t to bad, lets look under the bonnet”
I popped the bonnet.
“That pipe will need some duck tape put around it, this wire needs replacing. Start her up lets listen to her”
I started the motor and gave it a couple of revs.
“Yeah It’s not too bad, how much did you pay for it”
“700”
“Yeah that’s ok. Coming inside for some cones”
“Yeah alright”
I turned the motor off and locked it up.
We smoked cones and played Some car game on the X-box.
“Want a go” Said Tom
“Yeah alright”
As soon as I sat down I noticed something in the background behind the pause screen. It was an orange circle thing. I looked away, towards Tom, who was talking to his girlfriend Mandy, then turned back to the screen and the circle thing seemed to be looking left too and looked back at the same time I did. I un-paused the game and played it for a while. After a couple minutes playing the game a sound came out of the TV, it sounded like a robot walking and it got louder and louder. Tom and Mandy didn’t seem to hear the sound, but I was sure it wasn’t a hallucination. When I fist started hearing it I thought a robot was about to bust through the door.
“I’m going, seeya”
“Oh ok, seeya” Tom said.
“Seeya Daniel” Mandy said.
I Jumped in my car and decided to go buy a bag of weed. On the way to Roberts, My dealer, my inner-voice started say kill me over and over it wouldn’t stop. I arrived at Roberts house and my inner-voice was still saying kill me.
I bought a bag and as stepped out the door Robert said;
“I can kill you”
I just kept walking and jumped in my car as I pulled out of the drive I heard Robert say in a high pitch voice;
“How ya going Danny”
On my way to Max’s I got the feeling I had to be killed, my own body was rebelling against me, so I turned around and headed towards Magic Mountain, I thought jumping off a mountain would be easy way to die. I didn’t know the way so I just followed my nose. I was on this road that went in the direction of Magic mountain when I noticed lights flashing red and green in the paddocks either side of me, it was night time so I couldn't see what it was. Killer robots, they must want to stop me from killing my self. The road turned into a dirt road and I started getting visions of people waiting for me at the end of the road with knifes, waiting to kill me. After half an hour of driving I came to the end of the road, there was no one there, so I turned around and decided to go to Max’s and smoke the bag I have. I came past the flashing lights and concluded they must be for planes as there was an airport near-by. I came of the dirt road and on to Tar road, I let my foot of the accelerator to slow down for a curve in the road and the motor kept revving, the accelerator was stuck on. so I turned of the engine and pulled over. Popped the hood and had a look around, I found the wire Tom said needed replacing wasn’t connected so I reconnected it and started the car and it worked fine. I continued towards Max’s place, I was turning into an exit off the high-way when I realized my speed was too fast, I slammed on the breaks but I couldn’t stop in time, and I hit a light pole, the car flipped on its back, but I was ok, lucky I wore a seat-belt. The motor was still running so I turned it off, I struggled to get the seat belt as I was upside-down, I kept thinking to my self the car was going to explode, like in the movies. After a couple minutes of trying the seat-belt I got it off, and climbed out the car. The pole I hit was laying on the ground. I decided to go back to my mums so I began walking. As I walked a car pulled over, I walked up beside it and opened the passenger door.
“Wanna lift” said the young man inside.
“Yeah ok”
He drove me some of the way home and I walked the rest. By the time I got home it was early in the morning. But mum was still awake, she didn’t say anything, she just let me in and went straight back to bed. I got some sleep and woke the next day to a knock on the door, it was the police, two female officers, they said they need to take a statement about the crash. They brought me to the station and took my statement. We were on the way back to my mums when the policewomen who was in the passenger side said;
“ I killed a lot of eons”
“What do you mean” I said
“What was that”
“You just said you’ve killed a lot of eons”
“No I didn’t”
“Do you want to go to Ravenswood, or do you still love Miranda” the policewoman who was driving said.
I knew what was at Ravenswood, death.
“No I still love Miranda” I said which wasn’t a lie. “ But she dumped me”
“Oh well keep on trying she’ll come around”.
The policewoman dropped me off and I smoked the bag of dope, then I started looking through some old papers in the lounge-room when I found a bit of paper that had written on it:
The three of them had sex with you and that’s rape
You should call the police

I figured my sister must have wrote it when my mum told her she had a threesome or something.
Later that night there was a knock on the door and my mum answered. Three men walked in carrying a Boxy. One was a large man kinda fat and the other two where medium build. They introduced them self’s as Mike the one that looked like he had aboriginal in him and Ronald the fat one and Terry. We had a few drinks and Terry started saying things under his breath to Ronald and we where sitting at the kitchen table so I could hear every word.
“He’s a fuck head, and he can’t even hear us”
“Where gonna have fun tonight”
“I can hear everything your saying” I said to them.
And they just ignored me. Then I realized these are the three men who had sex with my mother.
“Mum can I talk to you outside”
Me and mum walked out to the driveway.
“Did these men rape you”
She said nothing
“Just tell me they didn’t “
She still said nothing, that’s when I knew they raped her.
I stormed inside, I walked up and punched Mike in the jaw knocking him off his chair, sending Ronald into a frenzy of abuse, I put my guard up as he came for me, and he shouted put your arms down, then I jumped at him and punch him in the face and he fell to the floor, I kept on punching him, then Mike started laying into the back of my head, so I spun around and started swinging lefts and rights at his head, after 30 seconds of beating him ,he ran away I looked around and the mongrels had gone. I went outside and mum was standing there smoking a cigarette.
“Are you alright” Me and my mother said at the same time.
“I’m fine” We both said.
“Why did let them in”
“I don’t know”
“Well those bastards would wanna think twice before coming back here”
The next day I spent the day watching TV, there was an ad for Marlin Manson and he sung: God is in the TV. I thought yes he is and it’s me. The Horror movie started(the news) and little way through the prime minister John Howard was talking and at the end of his speech I said telepathically: Poofter, and he said: Who said that, and turned around to see who said it. I switched over and Parkinson was on, he was speaking to Billy Conolly, and after a few seconds Billy started looking all around him it looked like he had hundreds of ants biting him he said: What the fuck is that, and Parkinson said: yeh that’s god, he’s in the TV now. I switched over to another channel and the footy was on after a minute of watching the camera paned onto a strange man in a green suit with night vision goggles, that had pink lenses my immediate reaction was a robot but then I rationalized it and though it was probably a plug for a new video game or something. I watched the rest of the footy and went to bed. After a few minutes of laying there I started to get some voice’s that said: Come to the airport. I kept getting the same message over and over again I couldn’t figure it out, then it said: Come to the airport it’s Sadoko My immediate reaction was it was Nakami using the alias Sadoko. I looked in my wallet and I had 70 dollars, exactly enough to get me to the airport and back. I decided to do it and called a cab. When I got to the airport I looked around and came across a bunch of a about seven young male Asians and one female one sitting on the chairs, It wasn’t Nakami, and I realized it must have been a girl named Sadoko and she heard me say to my self: I wonder what it’s like for Sadoko. I called another cab and went home. Well that was a waste of 70 dollars I thought to my self when I got back. The next day I was on the bus heading towards Max’s when I met a girl named Sandra she was special, we got together a couple weeks later and she got me of the dope. And the voice’s died down which made me realize that marijuana really doe’s effect the brain in more ways than we know. A couple of months later I was watching footy with Max and Lars at there place.
“What the hell is that” Lars said, me and Max weren’t looking because we were talking.
“Was it a man in a green suit” I said.
“Yep” Lars said.
I explained what we saw to Max and he just said: trippy.
That’s how I know I wasn’t hallucinating when I saw this green suited guy because Lars saw it too, and there wasn’t any game released that had a green suited man with goggles with pink lenses.
I haven’t had any more drama’s since all this happened but I have been getting people drive past my house and beeping there horn lately, which made me think maybe I said telepathically: Beep your horn.
