Journal Entry #9 - Well Phuey

January 30th, 2013 - 2:13 Pm

Here's today's corresponding  post from Something Sinister:

There are 2 main places that you can go sledding in Grand Haven. The first of which is Mulligan’s Hollow. However, Mulligan’s Hollow is used a great deal by skiers, and they have this tendency toward seeing just how close to sledders they can get without hitting them. So I generally choose not to go there, but instead to Duncan woods. Duncan woods is a quite peaceful place and though don’t go there too often; I have always found it to be still and silent solace. A place ever shielded from whatever chaos might be outside its beckoning gates.

Leroy, Bard, Keon, and I planned to go sledding today; however the warm streak along with the rain had decimated any snow that would have been worth sledding on. As hence it was decided that we would go to the Orusan Grand Cinema- otherwise known as Keon’s living room. Keon’s family had the largest flat screen Television in the entire tri-city (Grand Haven, Spring Lake, and Ferrysburg) area. The 3:15 show was to be the avengers. Personally, I had never seen it before; Leroy, Bard, and Keon all insisted that it was the one of the best movies ever.

 Now I’ve seen Iron man, so I knew what to expect out of him: genius ala whit with a side of arrogance. Aside from that I had no idea what to expect. I have to say, I loved every second that Loki was on screen. There are some weird villains out there, but one who can stay always composed, so subtle with his intentions and all but unreadable; that is a master villain. I hope you see this movie someday Kayle, I think you would enjoy it.

After the movie ended, we talked for a bit about such noble topics as which video game in our favorite series was the best, when we should reschedule the sledding trip for, and which of the avengers was the best. Not that it makes any difference, but I still think iron man was the best. When we had exhausted our pile of topics I proposed that we play clue, because as you know; I love mysteries.

 After not much deliberation we got out the board Keon set it up whilst I shuffled the cards and Leroy preformed the finishing touches. If you’ve ever played clue, you know that playing is not the same as reading a mystery, but rather more of a trial and error game. We played only twice before everyone else became bored. Knowing that they were bored I suggested that we play Brawl.

My friends are like video gaming masters, where I on the other hand don’t know the difference between attack one and attack two. I didn’t blame them it was a great game, just not one that I’m good at. In the games defense, I must say that I came very close to winning one round. I’m not sure if that was because of any skill of mine, or if they were just taking pity on me. Either way, I didn’t ask.

 It was exactly 3:45 when I realized that Mrs. Orusan wasn’t home, and neither was Keon’s little sister. “Where are your mom and Perrin?” I asked, because they were almost never away from the house.

He answered simply “at the psychologist.” He said that he couldn’t tell me anything more at the moment, so I didn’t press the matter. But I couldn’t keep my mind from wondering…

Upon reading today's post, I found absolutely NOTHING of value towards the investigation. That is, until I read one of the last lines...

'It was exactly 3:45 when I realized that Mrs. Orusan wasn’t home, and neither was Keon’s little sister. “Where are your mom and Perrin?” I asked, because they were almost never away from the house.

I wonder along with him. It could just be nothing, but like I've said before, I expect everything, and I expect nothing.

Until Next Time...
