Kaiju Weeks in Review (July 16-29, 2023)

Legendary announced a pair of Monsterverse comics during a panel at San Diego Comic Con. They've said nothing further since, and no one posted the panel online, so I have less to tell you than I'd like. Godzilla x Kong: The Hunted is the obligatory prequel comic for the film. From the pages they showed off, it looks like Zid has art duties again (well-deserved) and the monsters that Kong is fighting could be the "swamp kitt[ies]" cut from Godzilla vs. Kong. Release date is February 27. Monsterverse Declassified is going to spotlight some of the series' original monsters, with the previews showing Behemoth, Amhuluk, and Tiamat. (Supposedly Scylla, Doug, and the previously-unseen Abaddon will be in it too.)

Toho is finally letting Togen's 4K scans of some of its Godzilla films out of satellite TV jail as tie-ins to Godzilla Minus One. Godzilla (1954) and Mothra vs. Godzilla are coming to 4K Ultra HD on October 25, with Ghidorah, the Three Headed Monster, Invasion of Astro-Monster, and Destroy All Monsters on November 22 and Godzilla vs. Hedorah and Godzilla vs. Biollante. Expect them to be as English-unfriendly as Toho's other releases - but a vague promise of "unused special effects footage", combined with some very crisp-looking photos in a recent book, means there's a chance the Frontier Missile sequence from Godzilla vs. The Thing will be included with Mothra vs. Godzilla. That'd be a godsend, considering how elusive an uncropped, uncut, high-quality version of the scene has proven to be.

These releases will easily be the best Mothra vs. Godzilla, Ghidorah, Astro-Monster, and Biollante have ever looked on home video. But with Togen shutting down, it's unclear when the rest of the pre-Shin films in the series will get upgrades. (It's also unclear when Toho will permit anyone outside Japan to use these versions for streaming or home video.) So this announcement feels bittersweet to me.

We have a release date for GAMERA -Rebirth- (September 7), a second trailer, and a reveal for the final monster: Viras! As @starestream pointed out, there's a lot of Legion in that design (along with Iris in Zigra). And as Maser Patrol pointed out, this is the same enemy kaiju lineup that Trendmasters chose for its toyline back in 1998. Poor Barugon, no one wants to taste the rainbow (and it probably hurts that he's so visually similar to Jiger too). To be honest, this trailer didn't do much for me; a bit too chaotic. Hopefully it'll be easier to tell what's happening in the show proper.

Bandai, of course, has readied Movie Monster Series figures of Viras, Zigra, and Guiron already. We're also getting a prequel manga set 100,000 years before the show.

Decades after his rampage through the Marvel Universe, Godzilla is barging into the world of DC (where he'll finally meet Batman). Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong is a seven-issue limited series launching October 17, written by Brian Buccellato (who also penned the short "Fight or Flight" comic that will be included in Legends of the Monsterverse: The Omnibus later this year) with art by Christian Duce. The inciting incident is a battle between the Justice League and the Legion of Doom, which tears a hole in reality to let the Monsterverse through.

I'll confess, I was more jazzed for last year's Power Rangers crossover, thanks to the tokusatsu link. This could just be more of Warner Bros. Discovery bashing its toys together. I'm most curious to see if the Legion of Doom makes a bid to conquer the Monsterverse, which with Godzilla and Kong out of the picture is far less prepared for them than the DC universe is for a couple of giant monsters. Superman beats them all, as Ken Yano once said.

Hiya is stepping further out of S.H.Monsterarts' shadow with a figure of the female MUTO, a character long neglected by toymakers. They showed her off at San Diego Comic Con. Playmates meanwhile releases an ad for Titan Tech Rodan - I'm glad they're not giving up on this delightful subline.

Summer Smash concludes IDW's middle-grade Monsters and Protectors storyline, which has spanned the entirety of their second go-round with Godzilla. You can tell it was supposed to be another miniseries; Godzilla, Jet Jaguar, and Mothra send Mecha-King Ghidorah and the Xiliens packing pretty quickly. Art's still great though.

Godzilla Rivals will persist into October with Vs. Mechagodzilla, the magnificent machine being the last of the Toho's Big Five to headline one of these comics. The intriguing logline:

IS YOUR CITY BESIEGED BY KAIJU? DO YOU LIE AWAKE AT NIGHT ANXIOUSLY LISTENING FOR THE MONSTER SIRENS? HAVE YOU HAD ALL YOU CAN TAKE OF GIANT LIZARDS, MOTHS, PTERODACTYLS, AND SHRIMP? THEN CALL TRACER TECH TODAY! OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART ANTI-KAIJU TECHNOLOGY HAS ALLOWED DOZENS OF CITIES AROUND THE WORLD TO FEND OFF THE THREAT OF MONSTER ATTACK. San Palomar, California. It’s a sleepy city with not much going on. That is, until Tracer Tech built their new corporate headquarters there, displacing lifelong citizens and forcing out local businesses. But what is the source of Tracer’s amazing, almost alien technology, and why has it put San Palomar in Godzilla’s sights? And what can a couple of local kids like Alex and Jaz do to protect their city when the King of the Monsters and its robot doppelgänger clash?

SRS Cinema has opened preorders for The Whale God, revealing this cover art by Bob Eggleton. Special features aren't anything spectacular (they're vaguely described, but I think a couple of essays are included, plus the obligatory trailers). Should be out by the end of the year.

The disc replacement program for Cleopatra Entertainment's misbegotten Shin Ultraman releases has resulted in an only marginally better product. The opening montage has subtitles now... but like the rest of the movie, they're just copied from the English dub. Dubtitles in 2023... and for a film that already has a perfectly good official English translation, no less. Oh, and they threw in some new visual glitches too. If your local library picks up a copy, I recommend telling them about the disc replacement program (as I've done), but don't give these clowns your money.

Marvel character birthdays. Earth-18104.

Did I fucking write an entire list of births for marvel character for my AU? Yes, I did, because I have a thing for list and numbers and timelines.

Well, here we go. The birth dates are based purely on their first appearance, the stories they are in, and to make sense of thir physical age (like, why Kitty Pryde still looks so young after so many years), with some canon birthdays, like Cannonball's. Also, not all marvel character are here, mostly are X-Men.

After each name there's a few letter indicating if the caracter is a OC of mine (OC); if they were a mutant depowered on M-Day (DP)/ if they were lost in time so they age is different than what it's supposed to be (LT), for example Magik; if they died and came back (P), like Doug Ramsey;

In this universe the Snap happned, like in Infinity War, and it lasted six years (between 2004/2010), so if a name has (S) in the end, the character should be six years younger, since they didn't age during this time.

The way (SimCity creator Will) Wright sees games, players occupy and explore what he calls “possibility spaces.” Simply put, possibility spaces are all the potential arrangements a system (or game) might find itself in. The whole tree of possible movements of pieces on a chessboard, or the countless ways you might reach a destination in Grand Theft Auto, each are a kind of possibility space.

These spaces often intersect along numerous dimensions — in the Sims, for example, the interplay between social success and professional success created a jointed set of possibility spaces that a player could work to maximize (the game was designed around an ideal, not unlike in real life, that lay in achieving a balance between the two).

The intersecting choices faced by a player of SimCity include the aesthetic priorities, economic models, level of environmental concern, and other more subjective dimensions of the city. Depending on the player, a city might be a green oasis or a Koyaanisqatsi-esque nightmare; some might try to make the most visually pleasing city they can, or simply have fun wreaking havoc. Their decisions in these spaces—which can be measured, by the way—are often a reflection of their own values and sensibilities.

“Players right off the bat were forced to sit down and in fact pick their goals,” Wright says. “They had to first of all decide what their values were, what kind of city would they like to live in. That was part of it, and the other part of it was that at some point, invariably, the people who played it enough would start arguing with the assumptions of the simulation. They would start saying, ‘I don’t think mass transit’s that effective, I don’t think pollution really would drive away that many residents.’ At that point, they’re also having to clarify their internal model of the way a city operates … all of a sudden your assumptions become clear to you.”

Photo

Peter Tork and J&R Music World staff, 1995.

“The J&R Music World staff rallied around Peter Tork as the former Monkee visited the lower Manhattan superstore to promote his new album, ‘Stranger Things Have Happened’ on Beachwood Records. Shown, from left, are Loren Polans, J&R manager; Jim Drzik, J&R assistant manager, pop store; Jay Rosen, J&R assistant manager, pop store; Doug Diaz, J&R head music boyer; Rich Kueton, J&R indie buyer; Charlie Bagarozza, J&R store manager; Mary Jane Glaser, J&R video buyer; Tork; Sue Vovsi, J&R GM; Baby Rupnarain, J&R marketing; and Burt Goldstein, president of Big Daddy, which distributes the Tork album.” - Billboard, July 22, 1995

A fan shared a photo from this event on Twitter, here.

"[W]e would hang out, and I said, ‘Peter, I noticed that all the other Monkees have solo albums. Why don’t you have a solo album?’ And he said, ‘Well, I just never got around to it.’ I said, ‘Well, you know, I have a label, I have national distribution, and I have a studio.’ I said, ‘Why don’t we make a record and we’ll try, you know, we’ll shop it to the majors and if nobody picks it up, we can still put it out on my label. So there’s no doubt about it, we’re making a record that’s coming out.’ And he said, ‘Okay.’ So we worked on it about four months, and at the end of the four months, he said, ‘You know what, James? I don’t want to shop it. I want it on your label.’" - James Lee Stanley, Tales of the Road Warriors, March 2019 (x)

"‘I want some ambiguity — not straight moon-June-spoon-lovey-dovey,’ Tork says of his music." - Chicago Tribune, January 19, 1996 (x)

Q: “Why, after all this time, do we finally have the first Peter Tork CD?” Peter Tork: “I don’t know. Shouldn’t I have ever put one out? Oh, you mean why did it take me so long? I don’t exactly know… I needed James and he couldn’t help as long as I lived in the San Francisco Bay area. That’s one thing. I suppose, too, that until recently, I wasn’t equipped psychologically.” - Beachwood Confidential Newsletter, 1995 (x)

“My personal thanks to James, I have my first album, after all these many moons. How far freakin’ out, man. I waited a long time to work with him again. Thanks beyond words, buddy. Thanks, too, to those who stuck by me. Love to all, Peter” - Stranger Things Have Happened 1994 liner notes (x)

Butch said he would fly over China and Russia, do you think he did?

The date was 24th July 1964. I arrived at Wing Headquarters and was ushered into a room with about seven other flying officers from the 43rd Bomb Wing B-58’s . Because I was sick and might be contagious, I sat in the back row all by myself. Colonel Doug Nelson addressed the group, and told us the program was indeed the SR-71. We had been selected from all Air Force officers as the best qualified because of (1) our age, (2) flying time in supersonic aircraft, (3) our good medical records and (4) our fine military records. He noted that most of us were wearing spot promotions and that we would not have to worry about losing them because we would get them back soon if selected for the program. We would be notified soon if selected, and then we had to take the astronaut physical at Brooks AFB in San Antonio, Texas. He said the risk in taking the physical was that if they found something wrong we could be permanently grounded. He and Lt. Col. Jack Beasley would then interview us individually to ask some additional questions.

They took me first because they could see that I was sick (sweat pouring off my forehead) and needed to get back to bed. We went into a small room (it was more like a closet). Nelson asked me if I had any problem flying over denied territory (China and Russia). I said, ‘No’. He then asked if I was a volunteer. I said, ‘Yes’. He thanked me and I went back home. The interview was over.

With that I became the first US Air Force line officer to be interviewed to fly the SR-71 and the first to accept the invitation to join the team. I was in the right place at the right time, was the right age with the right type of flying time, and had the right medical qualifications (despite my pneumonia). Many years later, then-Major General Nelson told me that when I said ‘yes’ he was very relieved. He didn’t know how air crew members would react to his request. He said we were being asked to give up a spot promotion, leave a very stable position in an organization where we were highly respected, and go into a program we knew very little about.

The Physical

A few weeks later, a message arrived saying they wanted me to take the astronaut physical at Brooks AFB. The physical was the most complete and thorough I have ever received. Each day for five days we were given every medical test known to man at the time and some that the doctors at Brooks had just thought up. The ‘shrinks’ even gave us the Ink Blot test; we told them all we could see was butterflies and dancing girls in flowers. I don’t know if the shrinks ever caught on, but we all passed the test.

The SR-71 candidates with whom I took the physical adopted an ‘us against them attitude’. We were trying to outsmart the doctors every day. We came up with ways of coping with the tests. In one test they placed our feet into buckets of ice water while we were wired up to EKG, blood pressure, and various other wires and things. We found out that if you pressed your feet against the bottom of the bucket it was warm compared to just dangling your feet in the bucket.

We didn’t lose our sense of humor during the tests. Someone kept putting appointment slips we had taken from the nurses’ station into the appointment box sending one of our cohort back for a retake of the rectal sigmoidoscopy test (the most dreaded test they could give). We would hide and see him pick up the slip, watch his face, and listen to his ‘oh shit’ as he walked off down the hall looking dejected. I don’t know for sure who was behind these tricks, but his name (I am told) was Tom (Schmittou)

This is a backstory, and will not see anywhere else. Written by my father Butch Sheffield..~ Linda Sheffield

Here, have some content no one asked for!!

I got to looking through my old writing folder on my laptop, this is a short story I wrote quite a few years ago, in case anyone is interested in my original bullshit.

Horror with sci-fi elements. About 3.5k words.

No reason, just for the hell of it.

Harriet

Most residents in the lakeside mountain community of Harriet, New Hampshire, are amputees. That’s what my buddy Doug told me. This was at least a year after he initially told me he lost his legs in a car wreck when he was a kid, back when I still thought his name was Douglas J. Smith. You wouldn’t believe the shit he told me when he realized they were onto him up there. Hell, this is probably going to disappear pretty fast, too. Everything about Harriet goes up in flames sooner or later. From what I’ve heard about it, it wouldn’t surprise me if someone decided to send the town itself up in a blazing inferno one day.

Apparently the place has been quarantined for the past decade and a half, and security there is tight. I’m talking Area 51, Dugway Proving Ground tight. The airspace above it is restricted and you’re not going to find it just typing it in on Google Maps. If you’re lucky enough to find an old roadmap detailing the place, it’s not going to be in your possession for long. For all intents and purposes, Harriet, New Hampshire does not exist.

It’s not like you’d want to vacation there, anyway. Trust me.

Doug spent the last weeks I saw him gradually changing from the pretty chill double-amputee I had befriended in college a couple years earlier into some kind of paranoid freak. I tried to understand, I tried to be around for him, but he never wanted to tell me much. He told me he had been lying to me since he met me, that he had been lying to everyone. He went on to reveal that he didn’t transfer from a college up in New England, that I didn’t even know his real name. Of course, I ask him what the hell he’s on and why he isn’t sharing, but he wasn’t in the mood for joking by that point in time. He wasn’t in the mood for much of anything but locking himself away in his apartment and brooding.

The last time I heard from Doug, it was via email. I saved it to my email account and saved a copy to my external hard drive. The copy in my email account was gone when I checked it this morning, so it’s lucky I saved the back-up, because it may be the only written testament of Harriet, New Hampshire left in existence.

Some names and emails will be replaced or deleted for the sake of privacy.

#####

From: Doug <[email protected]> To: "X" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, April 27, 2012 5:05 AM Subject: [ no subject ]

You’ve been a great friend the past couple years. That’s why you came to mind first. Maybe I’m actually damning you by telling you about this, but it wouldn’t feel right leaving you in the dark. I probably won’t be here after today. You won’t ever be able to find me again, and you sure as hell shouldn’t look for me.

This is about my hometown. My real hometown. Harriet, New Hampshire. I grew up there, lived there my whole life. In fact, I never once left the town, from the age of five until the year we met. Not because I didn’t want to, no, but because I couldn’t. No one who was there at the time of the incident could. The only ones who could were babies, X. Babies. If anyone in Harriet had a kid, they’d be taken and put in foster care somewhere else almost immediately, given new names and identities. They were drug babies, or their single mother died and the father couldn’t be found, or their parents died in some horrible accident. I know, because that was my job. I came up with new identities for these babies that were being taken away from friends and neighbors I had known my whole life. I wouldn’t have done it if I didn’t think they were better off never having to know about Harriet. No one needs to know about that hell.

I need to back up. It started back in the nineties. I was only five, but I remember it. It was 1994, mid-July. I was outside with my dad, stargazing. He was telling me about the constellations when he came across a star in Orion that shouldn’t have been there.

Then the star darted to Ursa Minor, next to Canis Major. It moved like you would not believe, X. It wasn’t like a shooting star. It moved with deliberation, stopping and starting, turning angles no aircraft I’ve ever heard of could manage. This had to have gone on for five minutes, this little white dot in the sky just darting back and forth overhead. By the time we realized it was slowly getting bigger, it suddenly increased in size tenfold, and we could see it was not a single light but rather a collection of lights. There was one big light, right in the middle, and six more lights surrounding it. It was still small, and those were the only distinguishable details.

There was a flash of light in front of us, had to be a few miles off from where we were. It was just a flash, didn’t last for any more than a second, and when I looked up again the small collection of lights was gone from overhead. My dad and I were out in a field behind our house, pretty far off from the house itself, and he decided then that it was time to head back.

Almost as soon as I stood up, I was knocked back down by a burst of wind. My dad only barely managed to stay on his feet. It had to have been as strong as a small tornado. The wind dispersed quickly into a gentle breeze, and my dad picked me up and carried me quickly back toward the house. Of course, once we were inside and I was safe and sound in my room, I was asking him ten thousand questions about what had just happened. He just assured me that everything was fine and told me to get some sleep. I snuck out of my room later that night and heard him and my mom discussing what had happened, and knew that everything wasn’t fine. My dad was scared. My dad. When you’re five and you think your parents are invincible, that isn’t something that settles well. I snuck back to my room and spent all night staring at the ceiling, wondering, terrified.

That was back when you could still find Harriet, NH, on a roadmap, no problem. The government is probably still in the process of confiscating older roadmaps of NH and the states in general that list the place. Maybe they’ve got all of them. I don’t know. All I did for those assholes was rename babies. Even that was too much for me.

No one can really explain what happened in Harriet after that night. Maybe some of the government officials that rolled in afterwards could explain, but those tight-lipped bastards didn’t give a damn about us. My dad and I found out that we weren’t the only people in town that had witnessed that light show in the sky, that a barn not two miles from our house had been blown to pieces in the spot that microburst originated from. You don’t even want to know what happened to the animals they were keeping there. I’m just glad I never had to see the aftermath in person. Hearing about it was enough.

Not long after, we started seeing these stones around town. They were flat, almost round but angular, and black in color with white veins, usually a thick white vein running straight down the center, all the way through. They didn’t seem unnatural, just…pretty little rocks. They were great for skipping across the reservoir. Pretty soon they were scattered all over town, and they caught the interest of geologists in colleges around New England. They were the first to be affected, working so closely and deliberately with the stones. The ones who survived were relocated to Harriet after the military came in and quarantined us.

See, most of the residents of Harriet, NH from around that point in time are amputees. The majority of those who aren’t are dead. I’m not sure if you’d consider me one of the luckier ones or not.

My best guess is that the stones were markers, that they held some kind of tracking device. I don’t know the exact details. No one really seems to understand exactly what they were. But once they were activated—that is, once they stopped being these pretty little black marble stones and became something else—they wreaked havoc on us. Maybe something those geologists did set them off, maybe they were set off remotely once they were spread out through the entire town. Whatever the trigger was, you sure as hell didn’t want to touch a single one of them afterwards. It didn’t matter if it touched your clothes or your skin. You were marked as soon as you came in contact with one.

It was maybe a month after the lights in the sky, after we first started seeing the stones, when I stepped on one playing outside one day. I felt a sharp pain shoot up to my left shoulder. Always the left shoulder. It wasn’t unbearable, a little like getting a flu shot, like a small bug was biting you, but it just didn’t go away. You’d find yourself scratching at it for hours on end, but it wasn’t that bad, not bad enough to tell Mom and Dad about and waste a trip to the doctor over. I figured it was probably just a bug bite.

Then my dad started complaining about a little pinprick in his left shoulder. Then a couple of my friends, some of their parents. It went from being a mild annoyance to an epidemic of mild annoyances, but an epidemic of anything at all is enough to draw attention. Doctors couldn’t seem to find anything at all physically wrong, and nothing abnormal showed up on the brain scans. Whatever this was, it seemed to be purely psychological. A psychological epidemic of mild shoulder pain. Nobody knew what the hell was going on.

A week later, we found out.

Out of the six to seven thousand individuals that populated the town, around nine hundred were affected. Out of the nine hundred effected, following the night of July 27, 1994, about five hundred survived, all of them with some degree of handicap. My dad and I were both among this first batch. You’ve seen me. My dad only lost one limb, his right arm. We were lucky compared to some who lost internal organs, had partial lobotomies as they slept that night. Some of them actually survived. This shit, it wasn’t done by some psychopath with a hacksaw. You saw me. No scarring. I may as well not have even been born with legs. That’s how it was for everyone; you couldn’t even tell if there was an incision made to take out the organs by the time they woke up the next morning.

The military rolled in the next day and locked us down. No one could enter, no one could leave, and there wasn’t a single news report about it. There was the occasional independent journalist who caught wind of it, thought they’d get a good story out of it. I saw a few of them get gunned down.

And you know what? It kept fucking happening. It would happen in spells. For a little while after the stones were inert again, just harmless pretty little rocks lying around everywhere. The military picked up quite a few of them, but there just seemed to be one hundred more lying around for every one they found. Then they would activate again, the shoulder pains would start in a new group of people, and about a week later, the same thing. There were fewer victims each time, since everyone was deliberately avoiding the stones, and it seemed like those of us that had already been affected weren’t susceptible anymore; but it wasn’t stopping, by no means was it stopping, and the military wasn’t going anywhere.

They started sending off kids not long after the second wave hit. Kids who couldn’t talk yet, kids who wouldn’t be old enough to remember, kids who hadn’t already been affected. Of course, I wasn’t old enough yet at that time to be of any service to the military, so I had nothing to do with them. The second wave, I was six. It was actually a few years before the next wave, but the military never left, because we couldn’t be allowed to leave the town and spread the word or, God forbid, take any of the stones anywhere else.

It was slow, it went on for years. My mom, she was so careful to avoid the stones, and that kept her safe until I was in my early teens. She wasn’t as lucky as my dad and I were. Her autopsy showed that her brain and spinal cord were gone. Just fucking gone, no signs of how they were removed, just like all the others. And I swear to God, the night it happened, I heard something in the house. Footsteps. Moving quickly, moving with some unknown purpose, down the hall. I managed to get out of bed and hurry to my door, but I was out cold the second I opened it, before I could see anything. I woke up on my bedroom floor, my door still open. I know there was someone in the house that shouldn’t have been there. I don’t know who the fuck it was, whether it was the military or someone else, something else, but something was there.

It was a few years later that I was forced into helping with security measures. Pretty much everybody of age and of sound enough mind was. They found out I had a creative streak, so they set me to writing new identities for children born in the town, so they could be sent off to orphanages and foster care with no questions asked. I hated it. I hated myself for it, friends and neighbors understood the position I was in but I knew they still resented me. They were trying to make us go extinct, getting rid of the youth and letting only the older remain and die there.

It went on for five years before I couldn’t take any more of it. It was either get the hell out of Harriet or die trying. I couldn’t bear to live in that place for any longer. I couldn’t take being their dog.

A few, very few people were allowed out of town in supply trucks, with military accompaniment. My dad was one of them. He had been in the military before I was born, navy, and he was well-trusted. He took that trust very much to heart and it took me a long time to convince him. It wasn’t until I gave him an ultimatum that he agreed to do anything, that I threatened to storm the perimeter with stolen weapons and either escape or die trying if he wasn’t willing to help me. I was desperate to get out of Harriet, even if it was in a body bag.

As it was, I wasn’t the only one that escaped. My dad got out and we decided to separate after the fact to make it harder on the field agents they deployed to find us; and there were a handful of people we gathered in secret as guerilla soldiers, who rode in the back of the truck. It took months of planning in the dark, in the basements and attics of a few different houses of a few of our makeshift militia. It was a stroke of luck that none of them panicked and reported our activities to the military, or a stroke of genius on my dad’s part. He chose everyone, and I guess having lived in Harriet his whole life he knew who was made of tough enough stuff to handle it. It was difficult, but it was manageable in the long run. We kept track of who worked what shift, who would be easiest to take out quietly and swipe weapons. My dad decided we would leave at midday in December, just before a storm was going to hit to make it harder on them to track us. It might be more difficult for us to get out, but he took the risk and it worked. He stole a uniform for me and we stuffed the pant legs and stuck boots in the bottom while I was sitting in the passenger seat; everyone else hid in the back, behind a row of supply boxes.

It went off without a hitch. When we were checked out they waved my dad on through and we drove out. We were supposed to drive five miles down the road and turn right, due north, toward a nearby army base, where supplies were waiting for us. There were two soldiers at the checkpoint. One came to my dad’s window, one to my window. He gunned his down like it was nothing, and I was sincerely afraid of him for one moment in my life. When I hesitated, Dad gunned down the soldier now reaching for his sidearm in a panic at my window, pushing me back against my seat with the long barrel of the rifle. He got out of the truck, put an extra bullet in each of their skulls just to be safe, got back in, and put the car in drive, turning silently to the left, due south.

We didn’t want to draw attention to ourselves by riding into town with a military supply truck, so we ditched it near the next town, a small city called Jasper, and we all parted ways there. That was the last time I ever saw my father or any of my neighbors from Harriet, and I always hoped it would remain that way. I guess it did after all. I guess that’s for the best. It means when they come and get me, it’ll only be me. I’m not putting any of them in danger. I know I’m probably putting you in danger right now. You need to hide, as soon as you read this, because it’s not worth trying to spread the word. Anyone who knows about Harriet is probably going to be doomed.

Someone’s knocking. I’ve got to wrap this up. If you’re going to stay out of this, you need to leave town. You were talking about leaving anyway since we’ve just graduated, so do it. Leave town. Change your name. Lose contact with everyone you know here. And for fuck’s sake, don’t you dare come looking for me.

Have a nice life,

James Douglas McMurray

I didn’t heed his warning. I grabbed my laptop and ran two blocks to his apartment after I got his email and found the door hanging open, I found everything in disarray, I found his fucking wheelchair overturned in front of his computer desk and his computer smashed.

When I came back to my own apartment, it was completely trashed. They had been there. They were looking for me. I grabbed a couple bags of clothes and other essentials and found a cheap motel with wireless internet. That’s where I am right now. I don’t care if they know at this point. I want them to know where I am, because I’m going to fuck them over.

See, I disagree with Doug. I don’t think this is something that needs to be kept quiet, I think the word needs to be spread. If everyone knows it…well, the government can’t kidnap everyone, can they? I’m posting this on every forum I can find before they find me and I hope everyone who reads it will repost it. Everyone needs to know about Harriet. Doug was a great guy, best guy I knew, and the best way I can think of to immortalize him is to spread the word. Tell everyone you know about Harriet, New Hampshire. I’m doomed, I know that, but if this spreads like I hope it will then no one else will have to be, not ever again.

I want you to let these bastards know that we mean business. I want them to know that Harriet isn’t their dirty little secret anymore, that the world knows what they’ve been doing to these people. I want them to know that they have lost.

I hear knocking. I guess I only have time to post this here before I have to go greet them.

Spread the word, and remember Harriet. Remember Doug.
