It started
innocently enough. A simple
rumor. "Did you hear?, Jacques Cousteau is dead". Little did we know
then
of the awful horror which would follow. At first we thought it was a
simple
coincidence, after all Jacques wasn't exactly a youngster anymore. How
wrong
we were. As best we can tell Laura was seduced by the evil allure of
"THE
POWER". Victim two. "Have you heard?, Mother Teresa has died." This is
when
we all became a bit more concerned. For now it became terribly clear
that
Laura was not using THE POWER for good. Was she killing off Castro, no.
Was
she eliminating Pol Pot, no. O.J. Simpson, we could only hope. As the
true
potential of Lauras awesome power became abundantly clear we silently
prayed
for the well being of our most beloved icons. How far would she go? Was
there
no stopping her? Some of us foolishly thought the reign of terror was
over.
Lady Di
had passed away and Laura had
nothing to do with it, or so she
claimed. How
wrong we were. Three,
John Denver.
Now
we are truly afraid. John Denver, my moms favorite singer. A man
beloved
by all suddenly gone forever. Will it ever end? Can the THE POWER be
stopped?
I believe not. The fourth. Sojourner, the heroic little robot sent to
explore
a far distant world. The cold reality of Lauras demonic influence is
now
felt by all. She is now able to focus her power through the vast empty
expanse
of space and render inanimate objects lifeless.
When will it
end? Is anyone or anything
safe? Something must be done. A small but growing number of us are
trying
with all our might to thwart the unbearable feeling of doom pervading
our
souls. Can we still reach what small remainder of good Laura may still
have
in her? I still believe we can. No doubt it will be exceedingly
difficult
to over come the awesome magnitude of power Laura now possess, or
should
I say, is possessed by. A list was
created. In a feeble
attempt to save who we could we appealed
to Lauras sense of morality, we only pray she still has the strength in
herself
to find it. The list, I believe, may be our only hope. I carry the list
with
me wherever I may go. I feel the list to be a talisman, a charm if you
will,
against the black evil power of the dark side now growing in Laura. The
list
is composed of four sections. The first part of the list pertains to
people
and things we do not want to perish. The second section has to do with
people
and things we deem acceptable for Laura to speak badly of. The third
and
most possibly ominous pertains to people and things Laura has spoken of
in
the last few weeks. The final and most compelling, the "Kill List". As
if
any more evidence was needed just look at the kill list, a clear
reminder
of the THE POWER.
A word of warning about the list. Some have endeavored to place in
the list, specifically the OK To Kill section, names
Laura deems
unacceptable. Such as "Hootie", and "Ditka". I witnessed first hand the
sudden
and total violent reaction Laura displayed when she saw those names. I
have
never been more in fear for my life as I was at that moment. I still
have
difficulty recounting that dreadful experience. The temperature of the
room
dropped 10 degrees, I found it harder and harder to breath, all the
lights
on our street flickered on and off with a steady sickening rhythm. As I
fought
off wave after wave of darkness I began to chant the list. I now
believe
the mantra like ritualistic chanting is what saved me from eternal
damnation.
If you believe in nothing else keep faith in
the
list. It may be what saves us all.
