Short story/article based on ideas from newspappers & magazines.

October 6th

Another failed session with the Ouija board. Well I mean don’t get me wrong it wasn’t a “failed” session. I just didn’t contact my sweet deer Eleanor. It was some other spirit. This one was more exciting. Received some threats. Mainly the reason why I decided to write another entry in the diary, that and the fact that the last entry is months ago. Not much I have to say about this one, the spirit was the wrong one so that is when I closed the session.

Penelope is mad at me tonight. She said she is not going to put up with my nonsense anymore. She does not understand how much I miss my deer sweet Eleanor. How could she. I can’t try another session in a little while because she is getting paranoid, and let me quote her on this one, that “I am tampering with forces I do not understand.” I am starting to think that SHE does not understand the importance of me speaking to my sweet untimely deceased wife. I miss her so much.

I have gotten the best idea. It manifested itself quite simply to be honest. Penelope and her paranoid-self, called in a priest into our home today because she was sure some “demonic activity was taking place”.   After the priest was done with whatever he was doing. I must admit that I wasn’t paying that much attention, he came to me. And apparently he warned me that this is not a good practice and might even end in possession. This was where I started brainstorming. Imagine! What if my deer sweet Eleanor would possess Penelope. This way I and she could be together! Again! This will be proof that love is eternal. I am putting this into practice as soon as I get a new Ouija board since the priest burned mine to get rid of something he called an anchor to the spirit.

My relationship to Penelope has been improving rapidly. We are getting along famously. She even has taken my suggestions for cutting her long blond hair and dying it brown. I truly believe that my plot is coming together quite nicely. Soon I will be reunited with my deer sweet Eleanor. I simply cannot wait. But first I must obtain a non-burned Ouija board. Thanks for this inconvenience father.

Things have been going from bad to worse. Penelope is not staying with me anymore. Simply because she has found a picture of Eleanor which I keep under my pillow. It is not my fault I like seeing her beautiful face before falling asleep every night. But that is not why she was angry. She was angry because she realized that the haircut I asked her to get, and the clothes I have been buying her painfully resemble my deceased Eleanor. I fear she uncovered my plot for a second, but it was no such case, she was just offended that I cannot get over the love of my life. Can u believe that? She even used the time period she has been dead during in a “get over it” manner. Very rude. Everyone knows that distant relationships are a trial, but that is not a reason to simply give up on them now is it.


October 26th

Today was an incredibly peculiar day. It started out perfectly normal, but at some point Penelope stormed into my house demanding us to do a session with the spirit board. Apparently she wanted to find out, what was so great about this Eleanor person. Her words not mine. Obviously. We did the session but to my disappointment we did not reach my deer sweet Eleanor, but some spirit of a child. I don’t know. I lost interest after I found out it wasn’t my sweet. Penelope rolled her eyes at my reaction in a sarcastic manner. She just does not understand.
Despite my protests to end the session she found herself curious to continue. So we did. The spirit introduced himself as an eight year old boy who had perished in a secret government founded experiment, which, get this, was taking place on mars. What a bunch of nonsense.
I left the session to go make myself something to snack on instead of wasting my time.

Before I begin, let me recapture the events of the night I last wrote in my journal. I decided that is a better title for a notebook which I keep my most private and personal thoughts in. Not that Penelope cares for it, she still, even now as I write this is making rude comments about my “diary”. Anyway, last night I dozed off while Penelope was still chatting with the spirit. She shook me awake at about eleven o’clock at night and gave me the summery of her conversation. Which was the boy explaining to her, that apparently there has been a discovery made, of a new element which they call “Clonium” I will get to this in due time, but the element can only be mined on mars. And landing on mars is not the issue. Apparently. But the fact that there are some gases that infect the oxygen tanks and make it poisonous is. This problem was solved by, the most obvious solution. Using toddlers and young children as they used canaries in the coal mines because they can somehow detect the gas which poisons the oxygen tanks. This seems like a fever dream so far but believe you me, it gets even worse. So apparently all this fuss for this new element is for something called “Project: Evil Hitler”. Now the child did not know the goals of this project for sure but it can be assumed that it has something to do with world domination. As this is usually the direction all of these kinds of plots take. Before leaving the conversation it had one request. That Penelope and I would do something to stop this and or at least try and protect the young children being abducted from the orphanage and sent to mars. Blah blah blah.
Here is the important thing. The new element and how they plan to use it allows the interpretation that somehow it can clown living things and one that are not so much.
For example I could clone my deer sweet Eleanor. Since I still have kept a few of her hair clippings as most couples which are insanely in love with each other, tend to do.

I have thought more and more about my new plan. And I can only see upsides in it! Truly I have a mind that is beyond my age. I shall help Penelope in her mindless obsession to help the canary children, but only till I can find out how they get themselves to mars. Then our interests differ. Step by step I am getting closer to be reunited with my deer sweet Eleanor.
The plot thickens.
