Don’t worry about Dom!
A monthlong break is more than enough for us to handle things!

UPDATE Re: Hear me out: vampires at Sturbridge
The past few weeks have been really scary to those paying attention to the signs. I know this sub hasn’t been a fan of the things I’ve had to say so far, but there’s been more developments so I compiled a short list of sources that allude to a vampire conspiracy.
Link:My previous posts on dark omens and the first reported deaths
Link:Animal attacks in areas surrounding Boston have law enforcement and animal control specialists mystified, with three dead in two weeks(The Sturbridge Journal)
Link:Record number of missing persons reported in December for Massachusetts! Here’s what we know about the six unsolved cases(The Daily Northeast)
Link:Mass General nurse describes influx of “strange” animal bites(Twitter/X)
Link:Reddit user /throwaway217389384 reported a sexual encounter with an “unrealistically hot goth vampire” in Boston area(Okay, I know this one’s a stretch)
Edited to add: I see this sub is hostile as ever and downvoting anyone who agrees something is weird. I’ve made a new subreddit, r/occultboston, where hopefully we can talk more respectfully about the situation at hand.
>> u/easyalpha: why is this dude so obsessed with vampires? and why hasn’t a mod banned him yet?
>> u/writhinganatomy: Wow, these responses are not it. These connections are legit worrying. I’m not sold on vampires, but something’s definitely up. Something from your last thread stuck out to me—you said you’d seen this kind of thing before? What does that mean?
>>>> u/micahlandau (OP): The dead animals, the drained rats. This person who watched me when I was younger turned out to be a vampire. I know it’s hard to believe, I’ve been called crazy ever since, but I know it was real. They weren’t evil, but they told me others out there were.
>>>>>> u/belatedmanifesto: “My Babysitter’s a Vampire”? That’s the story you’re sticking with?

Is Dom back in Boston? Or is it someone else?

“The Truth the Dead Know” by Anne Sexton
We can joke about crying into the pages of Sylvia Plath but sometimes I think about how unreasonable it is that all great artists seem to suffer, go mad, or kill themselves. Sometimes all three.
Okay, I’m being dramatic, maybe. But it’s hard not to think that way.
I thought too much about death as a kid, so for a while it was really important to me to leave some sort of mark or legacy behind. To be important. I was always obsessed with the great poets, and history, all those distant figures that people know. And then I grew up and realizedhow many people there were in the world, and how everything was ultimately insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe, so there’s no point to anything since we’ll all inevitably turn to dust, et cetera, et cetera, angst, angst, existential crisis, et cetera.
