Well hello there friends and neighbors, I see you have returned for another look at the dark and depraved World of Death. I can’t stay away either, it is a ritual, something that draws me in over and over to witness horrors that I can’t stop talking about. We go about our days, a series of tasks, all with the notion in the back of our heads that soon enough it will be time again. And as we click and tap our way past the other unspeakable horrors surrounding, we make our way to the main event. The smile slithers onto our faces as we focus on strangers, stalking in the night, oh my, look at those maniacs go! It is the creepiest show!
Speaking of creepy, take Tim Pronovost’s selection this week. “Misogynistic” is another relatable tale. Our subject, a viewer in his own right, walks the same route every day. He looks in through what I can only imagine is this young woman’s Rear Window. Oh, but she is not desirable for her own beauty. Her bad habits are quite the annoyance to our friend here. Still, this ‘Psycho’ does not look away. He keeps track of the habits. One must take detailed notes if they seek to correct the poor behavior one sees. So he decides that she simply must receive a lesson in decency.
Does that little tale of sickness strike a soft spot? Perhaps the next story will be the final knockout that brings home the belt. In Bennie Woodell’s “A Picture Worth a Thousand Words” we are witness to the inner struggle of a working-class bum seeking a rise to fame. Fame is quite the elusive challenge for this pugilist, however. In a dark noir story, we come to realize that there are many roads to becoming famous. No matter what, if it doesn’t come easy, you must train and keep at it. Our boxing bravo in this story will not stop. He will continue, as much as he needs to, going through as many people as he can, until one day he is acknowledged for all of his brutal work. It is just a shame that he has to beat his way through so many on his rise to the top.
Well that is it for this week. I hope you enjoyed watching these flickering glimpses into the lives of others as much as I did. After all, we are all voyeurs of the night things. Until next time, keep watching!
