I_AM_RESISTY.
That's about all most people will need to know about me.
For everyone else; I am a writer, a cook, and a nerd.
I'm a weird person, and I believe it reflects in the way i write and act.
If my logic seems skewed, or if I seem to be making fun of you, I'm probably not.
Unless I am.
Then I am.

I honestly don't know who any of those people are.
I'm going t look them up know, though.

I just joined at suggestion of a friend.
Don't be too harsh, ja?

Anybody you ask on the street, assuming you can find anyone, 
will tell you that the spires were the start of all this shit.   
The average person would be dead wrong, though. As usual.

Those goliath twisted tributes to madness were just symptoms of 
the underlying illness.

They first showed late 2012, thrusting violently from the 
Earth's surface like frenzied claws.

But you know that, and I'm getting carried away with analogies. 
I guess I'm writing this because there's no telling if
I'll know it in a few hours.  But I don't think it really 
matters either way, because there's no telling if the scuttling 
noises and jumping shadows are actually there, or products of 
of my own fractured mind.

No telling.

But I digress; the shadows and noises will come, but I'm 
wasting time better spent on trying to remember.

Once the spires erupted, there was a media frenzy, as usual. 
News crews were vying to take footage for their special 
,,Breaking News" segments. Though they didn't move, there must 
have been week's worth of footage shot of those things within 
the first week alone.

Scientists did what scientists do, trying to determine the 
composition of the monoliths, but they couldn't break any 
pieces off to study. Some third-world countries attacked them 
in earnest, but if a chunk came off... there was no telling. Of 
course governments did what governments do and tried to ease 
the people, assuring it was nothing. As usual.  And the idiotic 
public didn't question them much, or for long.

As usual.

Sooner or later, people just seemed to forget about the spires, 
ignoring them completely and giving, at best, uncomfortable 
curt replies when confronted directly about them.  Some of us 
didn't get this way, but it affected us all.  The main groups 
who didn't get any of the apathy spreading were the mentally 
ill and religious. But it did manage to make things worse, all 
around. The depressed fell deeper into their own little worlds, 
and most offed themselves within the first month. the manics 
flew into higher and more violent frenzies, eventually ending 
in violent crimes and street mobs. And us schizophrenics began 
to see more and hear more than ever, to the point where we were 
labeled as prophets by some of the more zealous religious 
people.

The religious, however, got it far worse, I would think. 
Average church goers became mindless zealots, taking simple 
ceremonies and traditions to the point of life or death events. 
Rumors of ,,martyrs" dying on crosses so their congregation may 
,,taste the flesh and blood of Christ" began daily occurrences, 
and only the most intelligent, seemingly incorruptible of 
people didn't get lose themselves in the insanity of the "New 
Way" preachers and their cult-like followers; though their 
churches did quite literally exact their ,,pound of flesh" for 
the trespass. As usual.
